The Cornelius Gunn House was a historic fieldstone farmhouse located on Ridge Road southwest of the Wallpack Center section of Walpack Township in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1979, for its significance in architecture.[1] The farmstead is part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.[3]

According to the nomination form, the house was built around 1814 by John Shoemaker. He was the brother of Daniel Shoemaker, who built the nearby Shoemaker–Houck Farm. The house was later owned by Cornelius D. Gunn, a trustee of the Wallpack Center Methodist Episcopal Church.[3]
