MacLeod-Rice House

The MacLeod–Rice House, also known as Croydon Hall, is located at 900 Leonardville Road in the Leonardo section of Middletown Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The historic Colonial Revival house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 3, 2018, for its

significance in architecture. Donald W. MacLeod had the T. Burdge homestead converted to feature Queen Anne architecture by architect L. Jerome Aimar in 1894. Architect Thomas Emery designed a library addition in 1901. After MacLeod's death in 1901, Melvin A. Rice married his widow. Rice had the house design changed to feature Colonial Revival style by architect Ernest A. Arend in 1915. A large, two-story curved portico was added. In the 1940s, it was used as a school, and known as the Croydon Hall Academy.
