Construction of the Row House, which today houses the Visitor's Centre and Museum, was begun in 1832 and completed the following year. The largest of the workers' houses it may have been the home of the senior or privileged workers. During his tenure at the Howell Works Company Rev. Thomas Tanser, the Works Company minister and school master, may have lived in the third house in this structure. There was also the luxury of attached kitchens, although evidence suggests that they may have been added on at a later date. Although the largest of the row houses, it was not the first to be built.

The first row house to be built by Allaire, referred to as the "White Row," was located to the right of the chapel. Completed in 1829 it was built to replace the old log cabins of the Monmouth Furnace era where employees resided. The remaining two row houses were finished in 1834. A row of eleven homes was built to the left of the church and an additional row of eight to the right. The only original row houses standing today are the two that occupy the north west end of the Visitor's Centre.

The Visitor's Centre is open 7 days a week from 10 am to 5 pm Memorial Day through Labor Day. From Labor Day through Memorial Day the winter hours are Wednesday through Sunday 10 am to 4 pm, however the hours may be expanded during evening events in the Historic Village.
