Describe the present and original (if known) physical appearance

The district lies in the north central part of the City of Burlington, and occupies parts of High Street, Union Street and Broad Street (see attached map). High Street, 90 feet wide, is both the historic and physical spine of tire district. Tlie land with­ in the district boundaries is flat, due to its riverfront proximity. The two and three hundred blocks of High Street are now lined with trees, planted as part of a recent downtown improvement program; the district is otherwise not characterized by landscape elements, because of the tight urban siting of its buildings. They range in age from c. 1679 to 1972, but most were constructed in the nineteenth century. - Of the 105 buildings in the High Street District the largest is four stories and the smallest one story. Most of the buildings in the district are three stories. Building heights, scale, materials and roof shapes contribute to rather uniform street- scapes, with few breaks in setback or sideyards. Hie most significant exception is the Friends. .Meeting House lot. The build ing is set back 75 feet from the street but a brick wall at the sidewalk helps to tie the building "to "its-surroundings. Alley/streets exist-on the. West side of High Street, whereas the buildings on the East side of the street are crowded together. Two former alleyways at 321 and 333 High Street were filled with buildings in the 19th century. The most common building material by far is brick. One of the most unusual structures in the district is the Blue Anchor Inn. Its stone walls cover a brick and wood interior system. Few wood frame structures exist in the district. Jlany buildings have been s£feccoe3 or covered with permastone, brick facing or more modern veneers very likely the result of damage caused by a high water table, periodic floods and years of poor drainage systems. The Fidelity Bank, at 322 High Street, is an impressive structure with a cast stone face, stone columns and a cast iron canopy over a central entrance. Ihe building at 310 High Street lias a tin facing on the second and third floors, unique in the district. • Arcliitectural periods and styles vary considerably, but the architectural common denominator is a three-bay type, 'two or three stories, with side hall opposite the chimney, dating from the Federal period. Hie most prominant example is 339 High Street, with its richly ornamented dormer windows. rithe building at 19 East Broad Street is similar in style, although alterations have obliterated much of its original character. Some modest two and three-story 18th century structures in the district were originally dwellings, but are now mixed-use buildings. Number 316 High Street $ias glazed brick headers and a plaster cove cornice that has been restored. Wheatley's Pharmacy, 301'.High Street, is a colonial structure with a brick'date in the gable end, characteristic of Delaware Valley building practices. Its original dormers, sash and plaster cove cornice survive. Friends Meeting, built in 1784, is a long (6 bays), narrow building with little ornamentation, typical of Quaker Meeting houses in Southern New Jersey.

There are a variety of Victorian-era buildings in the district. Four have wooden cornices, arched window openings and elaborate sash. The best examples of this type are found at 234 High Street (1864) , 325 High Street (c. 1885) and 16 East Broad Street (1879). Three buildings (249, 305, 347-349 High Street) are two and one-half stories with 2-over-2 sash and Mansard roofs. Windows in the Mansard roofs are decorated with brackets and other ornamentation. Sons later Victorian buildings have pressed-tin decorative elenents. The windows are also carefully Grafted with a central pane of glass surrounded by many smaller panes (10-12, 23 East Broad Street). There are three banks in the district built after 1900. Fidelity Bank, referred to above, First National State Bank, 354 High Street, built in 1926, and Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank, 352 High Street, built in 1957. The building materials range from cast stone, brick and granite to polished granite, glass and aluminum. The First Naitonal State Bank has a white granite Greek Revival entranceway. Other interesting twentieth century buildings are located at 314 and 350 High Street The colors and texture of the bricks, the cornices and storefront treatments are distinct in their own right as well as distinct from earlier periods. The most individualistic twentieth-century building is the Jacob Rosenfeld Building (1941) located at 353 High Street. Although there are a number of Art Deco storefronts (317 High Street is the best preserved) , the entire Rosenfeld Building is a streamlined Art Moderne commercial block, notable for its curved corner.. Although the High Street District exhibits architectural diversity typical of most New Jersey Main Streets, its few modern intrusions, its masonry structures and its core of 3-bay Federal-type side-hall buildings impart considerable cohesiveness. Of the 105 buildings in the district 23 are key, 53 are contributing, 14 are con­ tributing/conditional and 15 are non-contributing. 8. Significance

The High Street Historic District is the core of the original capital- of West Jersey, its major street pattern virtually unaltered since 1677 when the City of Burlington, was founded. Despite architectural change over a period of more than 300 years, the 18th - and 19th - century mercantile and residential significance of the district can be read clearly in its standing structures. Like Perth Amboy, its East Jersey counterpart, the district is a tangible link to one of New Jersey's earliest urban centers, and reflects -the impact of English Quakers on the architec­ ture, planning and governmental attitudes of West Jersey. Shortly after acquiring the western half of New Jersey from Lord Berkeley, William Penn and other prominent Quakers began planning for the region's settle-, merit. A frame of government commonly referred to as "The Concessions and Agree­ ments...," was drawn up. Shares, or the rights to the land, were sold to investors and potential settlers. Ihe prospect of establishing a new colony where their own •principles would govern was particularly appealing to English Quakers, who sought to escape intolerance and persecution at home. 'The first group of emigrants was recruited largely from the cities of Yorkshire and London. The initial plan called for the settlement of two tracts of land along the Delaware River. The Yorkshire Quakers were to settle the northern section, or tenth, while their counterparts from London were to take up the southern tenth. However, when they arrived in August 1677, the small contingent soon realized that their best interests lay in establishing a single town. Chygoes Island, or Burlington, was selected as the site of the new settlement. 1 If the opinion of John Cripps, a proprietor, was representative, the builders of the new city were enthusiastic about what they found. Writing to a friend in England, Cripps reported that people who could not live there could hardly live anywhere, and that the Delaware was "as good a river as most in the world" - much better than the Thames. 2 Richard Noble, who had previously served as the surveyor for Fenwick's colony at Salem, was employed to lay out the town. He first surveyed High Street, which was described by Cripps as "a straight line drawn from the river side up the land, which is to be the main street, and a market place about the middle." A second street (Broad Street) parallel to the river and crossing the main street on a gentle rise was also laid out, with its width established at 100 feet. 3 This intersection became the social, economic and governmental center of the new colony. High Street was officially established as the dividing line between the York­ shire and London tenths in 1680. The town lots on the east side of the street were taken up by the settlers from Yorkshire, while the -London Quakers settled on the west side of the street. 4 HP$ Form 1Q-MO-I 0MB Ho. 1024-0018 (343) Gup, 10-51-84 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form High Street HD, Burlington City, Burlington County, NJ Continuation sheet Significance______Item number 8______Page 2_____

At a town Meeting held on June 18. 1696, Daniel Leeds was directed to produce a map indicating the ownership of town lots. 5 Leeds' map illustrates the extent to which de­ velopment was focused along the High Street corridor from the river South to present day Federal Street, where many more smaller lots existed. This trend of development, once begun, was to continue well into the nineteenth century. By 1700, Burlington was firmly established as a capital city. On the east side of High Street were the brick homes of -ttiomas Wetherill (331 High Street) 6, and Joseph7 and Dr. Richard Smith8 (319, 315 High Street), two members of early Burlington's most influ­ ential family. On the west side of the street was the "new" house of Thonas Gardiner9 (228 High Street) , Treasurer of West Jersey; a hexagonal Meeting House (on the site of the current Meeting House at 340 High Street) 10 , and the early home of Thomas Ollive (406 High Street) 11 , a key figure in the settlement and administration of the colony. A large, brick Courthouse with an open market area at street level and a legislative chamber and jail above, stood in the intersection of Broad and High Streets. 12 Scattered throughout the hones of the City's first families were the houses and work­ shops of the artisans, merchants and professional practitioners who served the region around Burlington. Among the early residents was a blacksmith, butcher, carpenter, cord- wainer (shoemaker), hatter, saddler and "taylor" [sic]. 13 All the necessities of life could be found at the door steps of High Street. Buildings constructed expressly for commercial purposes were generally limited to taverns or inns and blacksmith shops, or those businesses serving visitors to the city. Thomas Budd kept a tavern on High Street as early as 1693. On his property at the South­ west corner of High and Pearl Streets were a malt house and brew house, where the beer sold at his establishment was manufactured. 14 The importance of the early inns is best illustrated in a notice appearing in the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1751. Fretwell Wright, proprietor of the Blue Anchor Tavern, advertised that a stage wagon ran from his tavern to New York City. 15 Perhaps the greatest volume of buying and selling in the early city was conducted at the public marketplaces. Two open air markets stood in the center of High Street. The stalls of North Market, the longest of the two, ran from near the town wharf at the foot of High Street over two blocks south beyond the intersection of Pearl Street. 16 In 1698, Gabriel Thomas described South Market as "a delicate great Market House, where they keep their Market. It hath a noble and spacious Hall over-head, where.their Sessions, is kept..."1? From beneath the Courthouse, the market spread north a short distance. Tlie only map on which these market houses appear is one drawn c. 1835, and included in Barber and Howe's The Historical Collection of the State of New Jersey. 18 NPS Form 10-900-1 0MB No. 1024-0018 O«2) Exp, 10-31-84 United States Department of the interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form High Street HD, Burlington City, Burlington Countv, NJ Continuation sheet Significance______Item number 8 "______P3go 3____

By the middle of the eighteenth century, the prosperity of the city was noted even by foreign visitors. An English account of 1745 mentions about 250 families, mostly living in well-build brick houses.-^ Throughout the century, Burlington was known for its beauty as well as its mercantile energy. Sarah Eve visited from Philadelphia in 1772, and called the place "an epitome of Town and Country," where large gardens and numerous trees along the streets created a tranquil atmosphere. "It is really excessively pleasant," she concluded, "and pleased me much."20 The veracity of Miss Eve's account is attested to by the waterfront view published with William Birch's map of 1797. 2-L For the first time, building locations are indicated on a map of the City of Burlington. Birch's work confirms the dense development pattern on High and Broad Streets that remains today (see Map #2). During this century some of New Jersey's most iinportant citizens lived and worked on High Street. Isaac Pearson, New Jersey's first silversmith; 22 international merchant Daniel Smith, Jr. 23 (216 High Street); Charles Read, 24 ironmaster and Speaker of the New Jersey Assembly; Richard Smith, Jr. , 25 international merchant and statesman, and his son, Richard Smith, Esq., 26 a member of the first Continental Congress (406 High Street); and John Lawrence27 (459 High Street) , a distinguished attorney and Tory sym­ pathizer, all lived along the main thoroughfare. By 1800, the Courthouse and South Market had disappeared. A new City Hall and market had been erected at the intersection of High Street and the newly created East Union Street six years earlier. 28 The mercantile traditions of High Street continued well into the nineteenth century, as did the penchant of the wealthy and well-known to locate there. Nathaniel Coleman29 (320 High Street). Silversmith; James Sterling, 30 a merchant and Mayor of the City; Joshua M. Wallace,31 a member of the New Jersey convention that ratified the U.S. Constitution in 1787; Joseph Bloomfield32 (451 High Street) , Governor of the State from 1800 until 1812 and renowned Quaker missionary Stephen Grellet33 re­ sided on High Street. The tracks of the Camden and Amboy Railroad were laid down the center of Broad Street in 1833, ushering in a period of significant change in City life. The "attention of local activists and reformers turned inward toward the town's various social, political and economic institutions. Even the railroad became a target. Henry C. Carey, 34 (406 High Street) a noted economist and muckraker of the era, attacked the rail company for its unethical practices. 35 Changes were attempted in other areas as well. Not only was the Blue Anchor Tavern renamed the City Hotel; reformist agitation also caused the buildings' owner to establish a benperance hotel. 36 And while this experiment was short-lived, the strength of the reformers was undeniable. A growing concern for the cultural life of the City led to the construction of Lyceum Hall in 1839. The purpose of the building's sponsors was to provide an auditorium for orators, singers, theatrical productions and political speeches and rallies. 3^ NPS Form 10-900-1 OM8N«X 1024-0018 0-tt) Exp. 10-31-84 United States Department off the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form High Street HD, Burlington City, Burlington County, N Continuation sheet Significance Item number 8 Page

The City's Democratic Party also benefitted from the upheavals of the period. The local party had been attracting new members in the two decades following the arrival of U.S.. Senator Garret Wall (210 High Street) in 1829. 38 A new City Charter was enacted in 1851. Mr. Wallf s son, Janes, was elected Mayor under the new system. 39 To celebrate the changes in City government, Lyceum Hall was given to the town for use as a City Hall (432 High Street) ^0 It was during this period that earlier mercantile practices began to change too. Various views of High Street, drawn by John Collins and published in 1847, show a num­ ber of storefronts among the houses that lined the main street. In that same year, Edmund Morris, editor of The Burlington Gazette, wrote of the need for more conmercial structures on High Street. He expressed his concern that retail trade was being pushed off High Street due to the heavy concentration of residential structures and the result­ ing lack of buildable lots. After lamenting the demolition of the Pearson/Sterling Mansion, Morris went on to praise the efforts of a local developer and the construction of 302 High Street. 4! He firmly believed that High Street should remain the "City's principal commercial district. Morris 1 hopes for a thoroughly conroercial High Street were eventually realized. From this point forward r many of the homes that lined High Street were either demolished to make way for commercial buildings, or their first floors were converted to stores. The Hooten/Smith Homestead, was demolished in 1848 to accomodate the construction of a large store on the site (218 High Street) .42 A similar fate befell the former home of Proprietary Governor Samuel Jennings in 1882 (204-206 High Street), 43 First floor con­ versions took place in the buildings at 301 High Street (1731; converted c. 1845) , 44 224 High Street (c. 1797; converted c. 1869) 45 and the former mansion of Nathaniel Coleman (c.. 1792; converted 1864). 46 Accompanying the new emphasis on business activity along High Street was the organ­ ization and construction of financial institutions. Mechanics Bank, organized in 1839, opened its new bank at 11 Vfest Broad Street two years later. 4? Burlington Savings In­ stitution began operations in 1857 and opened the doors of an impressive new structure in 1881 (since demolished) . 48 In time, two other banking"ccgpanies located in the bus­ iness area. The evolving downtown took on the look and feel of a district devoted almost entirely to the delivery of goods and services. Moreover, the advent of the railroad, with its attendant smoke and ash, and the comercialization of High Street that followed coincided with the mid-nineteenth cen­ tury taste for villas on romantically landscaped plots; no longer was it fashionable to live conveniently near one's business at the center of town. The 1874 "Bird's-Eye" view map of Burlington reflects this trend. 49 As time went on, fewer town houses were built in the corroercial district. Perhaps the last of these was the Cutter Mansion (449 High Street), erected in 1914.50 UPS Font. 10-900-1 0MB Na 1024-OO18 (3.82) Exp. 10-31-84 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form High Street HD, Burlington City, Burlington County, Continuation sheet Significance Item number 8 Page 5

By 1900, very few residential structures remained on High Street, Among the many storefronts that lined the street one -x)uld find a handful of offices, banks and churches. The demolition of older structures and the construction of new buildings, or the conversion of homes for commarcial purposes continued unabated into the twen­ tieth century. Even the storefronts changed from one generation to the next.

Architectural Significance

Like most Main Street historic districts, the High Street District includes buildings that reflect the most popular architectural styles in New Jersey during a transitional 18th - 19th century period. That typical architectural diversity is reviewed in the "Physical Description" section of this nomination. She most important architectural conponent of the High Street District, however, is its predominant building type, the masonry, 3-bay side-hall dwelling. Ihis building type is found throughout New Jersey during the 18th and 19th centuries in many stylistic guises, but its presence as a standard type here in the district helps us understand its origins and genesis in America. The Great Fire of London in 1666 marked the beginning of a transformation that would result ultimately in the modern metropolis. Under the influence of Sir Christopher Wren and others, rational planning and classically derived architecture began to replace the largely Medieval urban fabric. Masonry construction for residential architecture became the ideal, and symmetrical facades became the norm for dwellings. Since the. settlement of Burlington began only eleven years after the Great Fire, and since a large percentage of its founders were Londoners, it should come as no surprise that the masonry neoclassical ideal of Restoration London is reflected in the architecture of the High Street District. An abundance of local clay for bricks "/'combined with the suitability of the small urban townhouse for Burlington's symbolic and practical aspirations resulted in the adoption of the 3-bay side-hall masonry house as the standard dwelling type. Houses of this description can be found throughout the district, surviving from the early 18th century and continuing into the first third of the 19th century (survey #'s 1,6,8,54). Such a long period of popularity enabled builders to apply differing neoclassical motifs, but here in the district the customary distinctions between Georgian and Federal are more often subsumed into a vernacularized generic, type. Characteristic features include a three bay facade side-hall entry and gable roof of moderate pitch (gammsl roofs are rare in the district; see survey #69); single or paired chiimeys on the gable end opposite the hass (#40); brick walls (a few decorated in Flemish checker pattern, such as survey #22); gable dormers (#27); simple molded or NPS Form 10-900-* OM8 Ma 1024-0018 O-«2» Exp. 10-31-84 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form High Street HD, Burlington City, Burlington County, Continuation sheet Significance______Item number 8 Page 6 coved cornices (#55,69); and pent roofs (#55). All of these features, plus general scale and internal plans were most likely adapted from English builder's guides that would have been readily available to the founders of Burlington. William Halfpenny's The Modern Builder's Assistant and several manuals written by Batty Langley are likely sources. Joseph Maxson's Mechanik Exercises includes an illustration in a Renaissance-derived row house that, broken into separate units, could have served as a prototype for the typical High Street house. Today, High Street's architecture reflects the many changes wrought in the three centuries the City has served as the central core of a large region. From a street of stately homes and dwelling workshops to a modern, twentieth century downtown, the district continued to serve the social and economic needs of each succeeding generation, And through the process of preservation and restoration the physican images of past decades and centuries remain a part of. the High Street Historic District.

GEOGRAPHICAL DATE City of Burlington, Burlington County, New Jersey, scale 1" = AGO'. This map is a composite assembled .from sheets 6, 7, 13, 32A, 35 and 36 of the tax map. "City of Burlington, Burlington County, N.J." drawn in May 1923 and last updated in February 1986. The boundries of the High Street Historic District were delineated to include to the greatest extent possible the downtown commercial area of the City as it developed historically and ith the fewest intrusions possible. Some noncommercial structures are included and not identified as intrusions by virtue of their importance to the development of the downtown. The northern boundry of the district begins at the Southwest corner of High and Pearl Streets and runs west along Pearl Street 100 feet to the corner of a residential property facing Pearl Street. It then turns South and runs about 100 feet to a property line of Temple B'nai Isreal. On the eastern side of the line near Pearl Street is a late seventeenth century indus trial /archeological site. The line then turns west and runs generally along the northern border of the Temple B'Nai Isreal ground (upon which the building at 210 High Street is located). This line runs to the middle of the block where it forms its western boundry and meets the eastern boundry of the Burlington Historic District, a largely residential district entered in the National Register in March 1975. The western boundry continues southerly to the rear property lines of West Union Street, a residential area. The boundry turns east at this point and runs to the rear property lines of 228, 230 High Street and 1,3,5 West Union Street upon which structures whose primary uses are commercial now stand. The line then turns south along these rear property lines and crosses West Union Street where it touches a point on the South side of the street about seventy five feet West of High Street. The boundry then follows the rear property lines of various High Street lots. On -the west side of this line are the residential structures that line West Union Street and on- the east are a commercial /archeological site and High Street buildings. The boundry then turns west along Ellis Alley and runs to the middle of the block and meets the eastern boundry of the Burlington Historic District. The line then runs along the middle of the block to the northern property line of Friends Meeting. It then turns west along the brick wail surrounding the Meeting House and goes to Wood Street where it follows the wall south to the southern boundry of the property. It then runs easterly along the wall to a point about 150 feet west of High Street. On the northern side of the line is Friends Meeting Burial- Ground and on the South West Broad Street properties with a variety of building types and uses . .

The boundry turns south and runs generally along the western property line of 17 West Broad Street and runs across West Broad Street to the western end of the Blue Anchor Inn building. The line continues southerly about 120 feet to the southern property line of 406 High Street. On the west side of this boundry is a parking lot and modern bank facility. The boundry then turns west along the northern property line of 412 High Street to a narrow right-of-way between High Street buildings and residential properties on Locust Avenue. The line follows the right-of-way south through a parking lot at the north and rear of City Hall to Iris Lane. The line then follows Iris Lane south to the southern property line of 454 High Street. The southern boundry of the district then turns east along the building at 454 High Street. On the south side of the line is a macadam parking lot with Federal Street beyond. At High Street the lines turns southeasterly and runs to theoproperty line between 467 High Street and residential structures on East Federal Street. The line runs from High Street about 200 feet east to the eastern boundry of the district. The boundry then runs north in a straight line to Library Street. On the west side of the line are High Street buildings and on the east are a cemetary and residential properties facing Lawrence Street. The line then runs along the north- south portion of Library Street to East Broad Street. At this point there is a modern apartment complex and a civic/commercial archeological site on the west side of the boundry and on the east side of the line a church and church related buildings. •\ From here the line crosses East Broad Street in a northeasterly direction to the west side of Stacy Street. The boundry then runs along Stacy Street north to the entrance to the 300 block parking lot. The line turns, west along the rear prop­ erty lines of East Broad Street buildings and a sidewalk and terminates at the rear property line of 347-349 High Street. At this point the line turns north and runs along the rear property,, lines of High Street and a sidewalk. The line crosses East Union Street turning northwest to the rear property line of the Exchange Building (High and East Union Streets) and then follows the rear property lines of High Street to Pearl Street. The eastern boundry of the district touches upon streets and sidewalks exclusively. On the western side of the line are building and archealogical sites, the most important of which is located at the northwestern corner of the district. The northern boundry of the district then turns west along Pearl Street and the archealogical site and runs west across High Street'to the point of beginning. One the northern side of this boundry is vacant divider strip between east and west bound Pearl Street, the street and a large, vacant tract of'.waterfront development property. And while the vacant waterfront property has a great amount of underground historic archeological resources most of the structures that occupied this site were residential.

SIGNIFICANCE: John'Hoskins, Jr. was one of post-Revolutionary Burlington's most prolific builders. The Hoskins House is believed to have been built with brick salvaged from the original Burlington County Courthouse. Hoskins was the organizer of Endeavor Fire Company, the City's oldest fire company. • Suggestive of what a typical High Street Federal building must have looked like at the end of the 18th century, this building_today is significant as an example of the late-20th-century restorationist's art.

SIGNIFICANCE: This building • --couples the site of the frame dwelling of Samuel Jennings, Proprietary Governor of the colony of West Jersey (1680— 1685)- Adjoining this structure to the south was a small brick building commonly known as the Isaac Collins Print Shop, in which Collins printed early editions of Continental money. The first history of the State, Samuel Smith's landmark, "History of Nova. . Cesarea", was also published in this building in 1765.

This example of vernacular Italianate commercial architecture represents the increased building size that had begun to alter the appearance of the district late in the 19th century.

SIGNIFICANCE: This building was the home of U.S. Senator Garret Wall, a Democrat and tesoected orator from the Jacksonian period. His son, James Wall, occuoied the house after his father's death. James was the first Mayor of the City under the new city charter of 1851 and also served one term in the U.S. Senate. The building subsequently became the home of the McNeal family, the founders of U.S. Pipe and Foundry Company. Even in-its handsomely altered state, this building suggest the impressive domestic scale of High Street in the days when it was a mixed residential and business ojarter.

SIGNIFICANCE: The home of Samuel Allinson (1767 — 1776)» the author of Allinson f s Edition, a compilation of the laws of the State from 1702, \dien East and West Jersey were united, to 1776. Allinson was also a leading figure in the Burlington County Quaker emancipation movement. Most papers of manunission held by • * former slaves were drawn up and signed by Allinson. This buidling was later the home of Dr. John Howard Hugh (1857 — 1906). Pugh was an important local banker and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives Although its original appearance has been altered, the Pugh House merits 'Key' r status because of its associative significance. Its scale, materials and fenestration pattern reflect the Georgian/Federal architecture typical of High Street.

SIGNIFICANCE: Home of Nathaniel Coleman, renowned American silversmith (1793 — 1842 ). Pouular belief is that this is Richard Smith, Jr. House. There is also an end date "172011 above gable of house to north. However, primary source data and early graphic documentation showing original suggest otherwise. Substantial renovation took place in 1865 by Myers and Ingrins for John A. Vandegrift, a druggist. On the basis of photo documentation, this aopears to have been one of the district's most significant early 19th century buildings. Its visual potential is compromised, but restoration may be feasible

SIGNIFICANCE: The present structure replaced an earlier frame building • built c. 1750 and commonly known as the Blue Anchor Tavern, This building gained fame during the Revolutionary War when it sheltered officers from both camps. The current building is equally famous as a hostelry. Virtually all of the luminaries from the political and entertainment fields that visited the City stayed at this hotel. Although its long physical evolution has resulted in a some­ what clumsy appearance, the Blue Anchor is an important vernacular architectural expression of a building type that did not assume its modern form until late in the 19th century.

SIGNIFICANCE: Lyceum Hall was constructed for use by the public as a lecture hall, theatre and for other cultural purposes. It was turned over to the City for use as a City Hall in 1851 when a new city charter was adopted. The classical-vocabulary is employed here to create a weighty and substantial building that underlines the dignity of its governmental purpose and makes a strong statement in the streetscape.

SIGNIFICANCE: .

This building was the home of Joseph Bloomfield. He was a Captain in the American Revolution, Chief Justice of the New Jersey Vice Admiralty Court, and Mayor of the City from 1796 to 1800. From 1800 rntil 1812, he served as Governor of New Jersey and during the War of 1812 he was commissioned as a brigadier general. Second Empire features were added by James H. Birch after 1876 fire, (see continuation photo) Birch was an international merchant and local entertainment mogul. The Birch Opera House stood on the site of the current post office. This is the best example of the Second Bnpire style in the district. Although it lacks the plasticity and ornamental interest of more high- style examples, its well preserved roof, with cresting, curbing and heavily molded cornice, makes it a focal point of the street scape.

SIGNIFICANCE: The altered scale of "Main Street" in the late 19th century is nowhere better expressed in the District then by this superb example of a vernacular Queen Arme commercial building. Unlike extravagant domestic Architecture in the same mode, the facade of the Buck Building is quite restrained, and reminds us that the Queen Anne depended on the deployment of so-called "free classical" motifs.

Most of the black structural glass veneer seen in early photos has disappeared, replaced by an implausible curved pent roof. These alterations, and blatantly inappropriate signs, have compromised the ''streamline" design

SIGNIFICANCE:

Jacob Rosenfeld was one of downtown Burlington's most enter­ prising entrepreneur builders. Although not a distinguished example of its kind in a lager sphere, the Rosenfeld Building is "Key" in the district because of the way it expresses 1940s optimism and energy in built form, and functions as the only example of true modernism downtown. Architect's plans indicate that this was, to a large degree, a standard company building of the Liggett Drug Store Chain.

SIGNIFICANCE: The earliest parts of this building were constructed in 1700 for Dr. Richard Smith. Dr. Smith was a member of early Burlington's most distinguished family. Several generations of the family lived in this building. The original was probably enlarged ca. 1795 to include a covered alley. It later became the home of William R. Alien, who served two terms as Mayor of the City. He was also President of Mechanic's Bank from the time of its founding in 1839 until his death in 1862. Alien was also an important figure in local education and a school is named in his honor.
