HISTORICAL SUMMARY: Madison Borough was formed in 1889 from Chatham Township, but its origins date back to the arrival of the first European settlers to the area in the early eighteenth century. A settlement known as Bottle Hill developed during the colonial period at the intersection of modern Kings Road and Ridgedale Avenue; the name Madison was not adopted until 1834. The Morris & Essex Railroad, completed three years later, connected Madison to Morristown and the greater New York area. New commercial and residential development followed the railroad, particularly in the post-Civil War period, when Madison also became the center of a large rose- growing industry. During the early to mid-twentieth century, most of the large estates that had formed a notable part of Madison’s residential development were subdivided for the construction of more modest, middle-class suburban neighborhoods.

6.1 Setting Madison Borough is comprised of 4.2 square miles in the southeastern part of Morris County. Main Street bisects the municipality in a northwest-southeast direction and serves as the commercial and institutional center of the Borough. The former Morris & Essex Railroad (now the NJ Transit Morristown Line) follows a similar route, crossing Main Street near the Borough’s center. The railroad facilitated the transformation of Madison from a rural village into a commuter suburb during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Borough is located on a ridge that extends in a northwest-southeast direction through the area (see Figure 6.1). The ridge is flanked by the wetlands of the Great Swamp on the southwest and the Black Meadows/Troy Meadows on the northeast, outside of the municipal boundaries. In general, Madison is characterized by suburban development featuring tree-lined streets and sidewalks. The older developments are located near the center of town, surrounding the historic downtown, with post-World War II neighborhoods primarily located in the southern and eastern sections of the Borough. The Forest Reserve and Zuck Arboretum, both located in the western section of the municipality on the campus of Drew University, provide open space within the suburban environment, as does Memorial Park in the Borough’s eastern end.

6.2 Historic Overview Madison Borough was formed in 1889 from Chatham Township. It was one of several village areas set off as independent boroughs from Chatham Township during the late nineteenth century; others included Chatham Borough and Florham Park (Snyder 1969:191-192). The first European colonists arrived in the vicinity of Madison during the early eighteenth century (Cunningham 1967). Natives of New England, these settlers arrived by way of Elizabeth and Newark, establishing small hamlets, “while the entire surrounding region was an unbroken wilderness” (Aikman 1882:187). Many followed the Minisink Trail, an important Native American path that would provide a vital link between the iron mines in western Morris County and the urban markets of Newark and Elizabeth to the east (White 1979:25). Historical accounts suggest that Kings Road in Madison roughly follows this old Native American trail. A settlement known as Bottle Hill developed at the intersection of Kings Road with Ridgedale Avenue. The community would be known by that name until 1834, when it was changed to Madison (Benedict 2015). During the American Revolution, patriot forces spent considerable time in the area, particularly when General George Washington’s troops camped near Morristown from January to May, 1777, and again during the winter of 1779-1780 (Aikman 1882:187-194). Yet the area remained rural and largely unsettled through the end of the eighteenth century. Transportation improvements opened the area to increased development during the first decades of the nineteenth century, however. In 1801, the Morris Turnpike was chartered to build a road following the route of the old Minisink Trail, along present-day Kings Road. An alternate route, known as the Shunpike, was laid out soon after, on a path roughly parallel to and south of the Morris Turnpike; still known as Shunpike Road, the route today forms part of the Borough’s southern boundary (Lurie and Mappen 2004:145). These improvements supported continued growth of Bottle Hill, which in 1834 was described as: Contain[ing] a tavern, three stores, a Presbyterian church, an academy, and above 40 dwellings, generally very neat (Gordon 1834:107). The Morris & Essex Railroad, built in 1837 to connect Morristown to the greater New York area, followed a route similar to the Morris Turnpike through Madison and Chatham. A station was built in Madison in 1916. The Collegiate Gothic-style structure (Inventory No. 1417-0038) continues to serve rail passengers on the NJ Transit Morristown Line (Heritage Studies, Inc. 1981).

6-7 The railroad precipitated new development along its route. As shown on Figure 6.3, the village was concentrated around the intersection of Main Street and Ridgedale Avenue, with development radiating outward on the existing roadways. The years following the Civil War witnessed accelerated development and population growth, as illustrated in the 1887 Atlas of Morris County (Figure 6.4). The street network grew considerably during this period, with a number of new roadways perpendicular to Main Street east of Green Village Road and developing neighborhoods including the area including Maple and Prospect Streets, known today as the Tuttle Oak Historic District (Inventory No. 1417- 0099), and in the western part of the Borough, the Orchard (Inventory No. 1417-0095). Perhaps most striking is the sizeable number of large estates surrounding the town, most of which are depicted with numerous outbuildings and landscaped grounds. The 1887 map also illustrates Drew Theological Seminary, which was established on the estate of William Gibbons, known as “The Forest,” in 1867. The Seminary is affiliated with the Methodist church and named after its founder, Daniel Drew. The campus includes Gibbons’ home, Mead Hall (Inventory No. 1417-0063), which is listed on the National Register. In 1928, the school expanded to include undergraduate education, and today Drew University also has a graduate school. The campus was included in the current survey (Inventory No. 1417-0125). During the 1870s and 1880s, the southeastern area of Morris County emerged as the center of a large and prosperous rose-growing industry. Greenhouses were erected throughout Chatham Township, including the modern boroughs of Chatham and Madison. The flowers were shipped to urban markets by railroad from the Madison Station, lending the Borough the nickname “Rose City.” Despite the proliferation of rose-growing operations in the area in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, by 1986 all of the greenhouses in Madison Borough had been razed (Acroterion 1986). The village’s growth was sufficient by 1889 for the area to be set off from Chatham Township as a separate borough. The Borough’s commercial center expanded during the latter years of the nineteenth century, as earlier frame buildings were replaced with more substantial masonry structures. The Romanesque-style Madison Public Library and James Building (Inventory No. 1417-0034) were built on Main Street by the philanthropy of D. Willis James, while that of Geraldine Dodge enabled the construction of Madison’s municipal building, the Hartley Dodge Memorial Building on Kings Road (Inventory No. 1417-0032). All three buildings are listed on the National Register, as is the larger Madison Downtown Historic District (Inventory No. 1417-0107; Acroterion 1986). The early twentieth century witnessed continued growth of the community as a railroad suburb, as new neighborhoods were built in the Colonial Revival and other popular styles. Many of the larger estates were subdivided in the early to mid-twentieth century, resulting in the development of more modest, middle-class suburban neighborhoods. This trend continued after World War II, when neighborhoods like “Ardsleigh in Madison,” containing the surveyed Rosemont Avenue Streetscape (Inventory No. 1417-0126), were developed on the few remaining undeveloped tracts.

6.3 Data Summary Field Observation Madison Borough grew from an eighteenth-century crossroads village to a bustling suburban community by the early twentieth century. Its existing building stock reflects this history: although a small number of early houses remain, the overwhelming majority of buildings date to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Architecturally, the Borough contains a broad range of styles, predominantly dating from the mid- to late nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. These include a number of high- style, architect-designed estate houses, as well as residential districts representing concise periods of development. The Borough also contains a significant number of architecturally distinctive

The following resources included in the Acroterion survey published in 1986 have since been demolished: 83 Pomeroy Road (Inventory No. 1417-0011); 2 Garfield Avenue (Inventory No. 1417- 0013); Garfield Avenue (Inventory No. 1417-0014); Madison Golf Club Clubhouse (Inventory No. 1417-0015); George Wilder House (Inventory No. 1417-0022); Barlow House (Inventory No. 1417- 0031); Bottle Hill Tavern (Inventory No. 1417-0039); 13 Cross Street (Inventory No. 1417-0045); 198 Kings Road (Inventory No. 1417-0049); 92 Greenwood Avenue (Inventory No. 1417-0054); Wisteria Lodge (Inventory No. 1417-0066); 196 Greenwood Avenue (Inventory No. 1417-0079); 194 Rosedale Avenue (Inventory No. 1417-0081); and C.A. Bruen House (Inventory No. 1417-0083). As a result, they were all identified as not eligible for the National Register in the current survey.3 RGA concurred with the Acroterion survey’s assessment for the remaining previously identified historic resources, with the following exceptions: The E.V. Houghmount Gate Lodge (Inventory No. 1417-0009) was recommended not eligible for the National Register in the Acroterion survey. RGA has recommended the building as possibly eligible under Criterion C as a well-preserved Carpenter Gothic-style building, which is an uncommon type in Madison. Acroterion recommended the Zuhlke Estate (Inventory No. 1417-0010) not eligible for the National Register. RGA has recommended the resource as possibly eligible because it is one of the few buildings in Madison with a Spanish Mission influence. More research is needed to determine its potential historical significance under National Register Criteria A and B; however, it is recommended potentially eligible under Criterion C as an outstanding example of its type. The Acroterion survey did not include a recommendation regarding the eligibility of New St. Vincent’s Cemetery (Inventory No. 1417-0018). It is the opinion of RGA that the cemetery does not meet the National Register Criteria Considerations for cemeteries and therefore is not eligible. The John Russell House (Inventory No. 1417-0021) was formerly recommended as possibly eligible for the National Register; however, it is the opinion of RGA that the dwelling is not eligible due to alterations that have diminished its integrity of design, materials, feeling, and association. The Chalet (Inventory No. 1417-0024) was recommended eligible in the Acroterion survey; however, the building has undergone alterations since 1986 that have diminished its integrity of design and materials. As a result, it is recommended not eligible in the current survey. The previous survey of the Presbyterian Church Burying Ground (Inventory No. 1417-0043) did not include a recommendation regarding its National Register eligibility. It is the opinion of RGA that the graveyard (also known as the Hillside Cemetery) does not meet the Criteria Considerations for cemeteries and graveyards and therefore is not eligible for the National Register. The AME Bethel Church (Inventory No. 1417-0052) was erected on the site of the oldest African- American church in Madison. It was recommended not eligible in the Acroterion survey; however, RGA has recommended the resource possibly eligible under Criterion A due to its associations with Madison’s African-American community.

41 Acroterion gave the incorrect address of 12 Union Hill Road.

6-17 In 1986, the David Howell House (Inventory No. 1417-0059) was recommended eligible for the National Register; however, since that time, it has been altered by replacement materials that have diminished its architectural integrity. As a result, it is recommended not eligible by RGA. The house at 67 Madison Avenue (Inventory No. 1417-0061) was previously recommended not eligible for the National Register by Acroterion; however, it is the opinion of RGA that the resource is potentially eligible under Criterion C. It is an excellent example of how the Queen Anne mode grew more expansive and simplified at the very end of the nineteenth century. The integrity of the building is high, and its setting adds immeasurably to the appearance of the house. The Muchmore House (Inventory No. 1417-0064) was previously recommended eligible for the National Register as a rare survivor in Morris County of the picturesque cottages of the 1880s. Although the ornamentation on the house survives, it has suffered a loss of integrity due to replacement materials on the exterior walls, windows, and roof. As a result, it lacks integrity of materials and is recommended not eligible in the current survey. Acroterion recommended the A.E. Kitchell House (Inventory No. 1417-0076) not eligible for the National Register. The property was not accessible during the current survey; however, information and photographs collected by MCPP staff in 2007 indicates that the building has been sensitively restored. As a result, the A.E. Kitchell House is recommended possibly eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C. The 1986 survey did not include a recommendation regarding the eligibility of Cole Park (Inventory No. 1417-0077). It is the opinion of RGA that the park does not have significant design attributes or known historical associations. Therefore, it is not recommended eligible for listing in the National Register. The R. DeForest House (Inventory No. 1417-0080) is a representative example of the Federal style in Madison. Although it was previously recommended not eligible for the National Register, it is the opinion of RGA that the building retains a high degree of architectural integrity and therefore is potentially eligible under Criterion C. The Highview Historic District (Inventory No. 1417-0085) was previously recommended eligible for the National Register by Acroterion as a middle-class neighborhood dating to the early twentieth- century and containing typical housing types. Unfortunately, the district as a whole now lacks integrity and cohesiveness and is therefore recommended ineligible for listing in the National Register. Acroterion recommended the Webb Tract Historic District (Inventory No. 1416-0086) possibly eligible for the National Register. Although there are a number of houses within the district of note that possess architectural merit, a substantial amount of infill construction, especially on Woodland Road, has greatly diminished the integrity of this neighborhood. The inact and architecturally significant houses are not contiguous; therefore, a truncated district boundary is not possible. As a result, the Webb Tract Historic District is recommended not eligible. The Orchard Historic District (Inventory No. 1417-0095) has historical associations with Madison’s rose industry in the nineteenth century and was previously recommended possibly eligible. Alterations to surviving buildings and subsequent infill construction has greatly diminished the integrity of design, setting, materials, feeling and association, rendering the district ineligible for the National Register. The previous survey recommended the Rose Avenue Streetscape (Inventory No. 1417-0130) not eligible for the National Register. It is the opinion of RGA that the streetscape is potentially eligible as a historic district under Criterion C for its small but distinctive collection of Storybook-style residences, which are relatively uncommon in New Jersey.

6-18 Resources Surveyed for the Current Project The current survey included an update for properties included in the Acroterion inventory, as well as 13 individual resources and two (2) historic districts previously listed on or determined eligible for the National Register that were not included in the Acroterion inventory. An additional two (2) individual resources, two (2) streetscapes, and one (1) historic district were added to the inventory. These resources are summarized in Table 6.3, and resources recommended eligible for the National Register are described in greater detail in the text that follows. Figure 6.5 shows the locations of all surveyed resources in Madison Borough. Table 6.3: Newly identified resources in Madison Borough.

The house at 85 Green Avenue (Inventory No. 1417-0019) was constructed c. 1957 for Pierre and Margaret Delfausse. The names of the architect and builder of the house have not yet been identified. It is a one-story L-shaped house with a brick, glass and board and batten exterior and a complex roofline which combines flat roofs with long exposed rafters and half-gables pointing upwards. The house is reminiscent of a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house. As such, the house was recommended potentially eligible for the National Register under Criterion C. At the time of the survey, the property was owned by Golden Spring Triangle LLC, which subsequently demolished the house in May 2015 (Janet Foster, personal communication, 4 June 2015). Geraldine (Inventory No. 1417-0033) is a well-preserved 1921 Ahrens-Fox, Model P-4 Fire Engine. The engine was purchased for the Borough of Madison by Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge, a great benefactor to the local community. The fire engine was the best model produced at the time and is a well-preserved example of its type. The State Historic Preservation Officer issued a Certification of Eligibility for Geraldine in 2012, determining that the fire engine is a contributing structure to the Hartley Dodge Memorial Building. RGA has additionally recommended the fire engine as individually eligible for the National Register under Criteria A, B and C. The Tuttle Oak Historic District (Inventory No. 1417-0099) encompasses 113 residential properties on Maple Avenue, Green Avenue and Prospect Streets, bounded by Kings Road to the north and Hillside Avenue to the south. The charm and cohesiveness of the neighborhood comes from a variety of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century architectural forms, unified by open porches, tall two-and-a-half story height and tree-lined streets. It is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C. The Madison Avenue Streetscape (Inventory No. 1417-0127) features a series of residential buildings (95, 99, 116 and 120 Madison Avenue, and the Tilghman House) constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. New York businessman and Madison Resident Enos Wilder built the houses at 116 and 120 Madison Avenue, as well as the Tilghman House, which was designed by the firm of Boring & Tilton. Today, these three dwellings are a part of the Drew University campus, while the houses at 95 and 99 Madison Avenue remain residential. The Madison Avenue Streetscape is recommended eligible for listing in the National Register. While some of the houses are more architecturally complex than others, the district nonetheless is an intact representation of high-style, residential architecture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

6.4 Recommendations for Future Work Of the six (6) municipalities included in the Phase III survey, Madison has the largest number of documented historic resources. A significant number of these resources have been listed onor determined eligible for the National Register, but a sizeable number of eligible or potentially eligible resources remain in need of further documentation and formal evaluation. Recognition of additional historic buildings and districts through listing on the National Register will increase public awareness and promote preservation in the community. Despite the extensive historic resource documentation that has been completed in Madison over the past 30 years, post-World War II resources remain an underrepresented property type. The current survey began to address this issue with the inclusion of the Rosemont Avenue Streetscape (Inventory No. 1417-0126), a neighborhood of modest frame houses built c.1950, and 85 Green

6-21 Avenue (Inventory No. 1417-0019), a Contemporary-style dwelling. Additional research to identify post-World War II developments in Madison would assist in the evaluation of all resources dating to this later period of development. The Borough’s Engineering Department has made filed subdivision maps available on its website; this resource could serve as an essential starting point for identifying later subdivisions and associated land developers. Additional resources suggested by representatives of the Madison Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) for inclusion in the inventory but not surveyed during the current project include two post- World War II neighborhoods: Sherwood Avenue and Valley Road (Knollwood Estates, 1950-1951) and Anthony Drive and Wayne Boulevard (Madison Park Homes, 1954). These subdivisions should be considered for inclusion in future survey efforts. As with other communities in Morris County and throughout the nation, Madison struggles with the demolition of, and inappropriate alterations to, historic resources. One surveyed property, the Contemporary-style dwelling at 85 Green Avenue (Inventory No. 1417-0019), was included in the current project due to the threat of demolition. The HPC provides review comments on demolitions, new construction, and alterations to designated historic districts and individual resources in the Borough. Continued efforts to educate the public about the value of Madison’s rich building stock in creating a unique sense of place worthy of preservation are strongly recommended.

Acroterion described the property in 1986: "Well-situated house surrounded by space, which will remain open." Part of the Madison Golf Club property. Bounded by Garfield Avenue to the north and Candlewood Drive to the west. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The subject dwelling was demolished between 1987 and 1991. Acroterion described the building as, "a small simple bank farmhouse with porch across façade. Early features included rear windows (Greek Revival) and paneled shutters on lower level kitchen windows."

The house at 2 Garfield Avenue was a vernacular farmhouse with some Greek Revival elements, built in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It was a three-bay, 1 ½ story, double-pile bank house with an asbestos shingle exterior and stone foundation. There were three eyebrow windows and 2/2 sash windows and one brick end-chimney. The house had a gabled roof. It may be the house of “T. Loomis” depicted on the 1853 map. Theme: Significance: Since the house is no longer extant, the property has no significance and is therefore ineligible for listing in the National Register.

In 1986, a small two-story barn was reportedly located at rear; converted to garage, it had original details and heavy door on second floor. Property consisted of spacious lot.

The site is now (2015) a late twentieth-century cul-de-sac subdivision.

Bounded by Garfield Avenue to the north and Olde Greenhouse Lane to the west. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Garfield Avenue was a 2-½ story Federal house comprised of two rectangular masses connected by two-story hyphen with small gables. It had synthetic siding and 1/1 multiple-paned modern sash windows. The roof was gabled and slate with snowbirds and there was one brick chimney.

According to Acroterion "East end is original part, a three-bay, double-pile side-hall house (new addition probably) replaced original step-down kitchen wing. Crude Colonial Revival porch across three fourths of front."

The property was part of the William Gibbons property in the nineteenth century. The house was demolished c. 1987. Theme: Significance: Since the house is no longer extant, it is not eligible for listing in the National Register. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

Clubhouse is sited on knoll overlooking golf course. Bounded by Green Avenue to the east and residential neighborhoods to the north, south and west. Surrounding Environment: Suburban, Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This nine-hole, executive golf course is reportedly the seventh oldest golf course in the United States and is among the nation's top 10 most difficult nine-hole courses. It was founded in 1896 as a four-hole layout on land donated by Madison philanthropist James A. Webb; he also reportedly financed construction of the clubhouse, completed in 1903.

The clubhouse was razed and replaced in 2010. Theme: Significance: The 1903 clubhouse was replaced with the existing building in 2010 and therefore is not eligible for the National Register.

Surrounding Environment: Woodland, Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Almost all the surrounding land was owned in 1910 by local millionaire philanthropist James A. Webb. At the time, this was the only house built on land that Webb had subdivided on both sides of Midwood Terrace. Theme: Significance: Though the house retains its original slate roof, the replacement windows diminish the house's architectural integrity. It lacks any known significant historical associations.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The original St. Vincent's R.C. Cemetery, established in 1840, was located on the southeast side of Ridgedale Avenue, 75 feet south of the imaginary extension of Myrtle Avenue, across Ridgedale Avenue, and appears on Robinson's 1887 Atlas of Morris County.

Old stones, as early as 1842, noted in new St. Vincent's Cemetery were probably reinterred from the original location. This "new" cemetery was established in 1860, and is the main Catholic burial ground for this area. There are separate areas for children and priests. Theme: Significance: New St. Vincent's Cemetery possesses some historical significance as the predominate Catholic burial ground in Madison; however, it does not contains graves of persons of transcendent importance, and it lacks sufficient age and distinctive design features as required under National Register Criteria Consideration D. As a result, it is not recommended eligible for listing in the National Register. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Situated on a large lot atop a hill on Green Avenue and surrounded by mature trees. Property has a large circular asphalt drive. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The house at 85 Green Avenue was constructed c. 1957 for Pierre and Margaret Delfausse (Morris County Clerk’s Office, Morristown, New Jersey [MCCO] 1954: Deed Book [DB] P57:506; NETR 1957). The names of the architect and builder of the house have not yet been identified.

The Delfausses acquired the subject property in 1954 from widower Olive Ross Rodgers (MCCO 1954: DB P57:506). Rodgers and her husband William, a bedding manufacturer, lived on the property in a two-and-a half-story dwelling with a rear wing and one-story front porch (Sanborn Map Company 1921). The house was situated on a large lot that occupied almost half of the block.

The Rodgers’ home was razed for construction of the existing dwelling. Pierre Delfausse, a toy and sporting goods salesman in New York City, lived in the house from the time of its construction until 1974, when he relinquished his interest to his former wife Margaret (MCCO 1974:DB 2281:1125; Monterey County Herald 2014). In 1976, Margaret conveyed a portion of the land over to developers NV Builders, Inc. (MCCO 1976: DB 2366:214). Roger Granet, who owned the property from 1978-2015, further subdivided the property in 1991 (MCCO 1978: DB 2467:318; MCCO 1991: DB 3430:137; MCCO 2015: DB 22660:1834). The current owners, Golden Spring Triangle LLC, reportedly began preparations for demolition in May 2015 (Janet Foster, personal communication, 5 May 2015). Theme: Significance: The house at 85 Green Avenue is reminiscent of a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house. As such, the house was recommended potentially eligible for the National Register under Criterion C in the current survey.

This house was razed in May 2015. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

Bounded by Loantaka Road to the east and residential/wooded areas to the north, south and west. Surrounding Environment: Suburban, Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The John Russell House was constructed prior to 1782. According to a plaque on the house it was constructed in 1779.

John Russell was a wealthy merchant and resident of Long Island. He left his lands and houses to avoid the raids of the British. Russell was mentioned as a minuteman in the Continental Army, and also listed in the Morristown Record Book as one of the overseers of the roads. On his death in 1782, his house was left to his wife, Esther and son, Isaac.

Russell's son Caleb became a lawyer, studying with Robert Morris in New Brunswick and later became prominent in Morristown, starting the first Library, Academy and other organizations such as a newspaper. Caleb Russell served as a private during the Revolution, serving in a Morris County unit. Theme: Significance: Though it dates from the eighteenth century, the John Russell House is ineligible for listing in the National Register due to the lack of architectural integrity.

Property of the main house overgrown. At the rear is a second residence, No. 146, a converted carriage house for this property. House appears to retain original grounds with exception of carriage house portion. Surrounding Environment: Woodland, Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The subject house was demolished in 2001, although the carriage house reportedly remains, though it is not visible from the public right-of-way.

As late as 1887 this property was undeveloped and owned by Mrs. Philip Cooper. By 1895, Enos Wilder had acquired the large piece of land from Route 24 to Glenwild Road and begun to build houses for himself and his children. Wilder's own house, "Clingstone," located to the northwest on Loantaka Road, was designed by architects Boring and Tilton, as was another house on Route 24; thus, it is possible that the home was architect-designed.

Acroterion described the house as "estate house circa 1895 Colonial Revival with Gothic overtones. Two and a half story clapboard main rectangular block with steep-pitched cross gable with small pedimented dormers each side. First floor brick with Richardson arches on porch and porte-cochere. Classic wood trim details two brick chimneys. Windows have Gothic sash above, single pane below (Gothic/1)."

At the time of survey, Acroterion was unable to photograph the house due to the amount of overgrown foliage. Neglect and development were cited as threats at the time.

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Larger property now subdivided. House sits on a slight rise adding to its classic appearance in a park-like setting. Near the intersection of Glenwild Road and Loantaka Way. Bounded by Glenwild Road to the north and residential properties to the east, west and south. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: One of Enos Wilder's many houses stood immediately to the south of this one. All of the surrounding land's were part of Wilder's "Peach Orchard" estate (14167-0024 and 1417-1417-0022). Sale of the lots must have taken place after 1910. This house was likely constructed within fifteen years of this subdivision. Theme: Significance: The dwelling at 72 Glenwild Road is a fine example of a Colonial Revival-style house, although Madison contains better representations of the style. Replacement windows and other alterations have diminished its integrity of materials and design. As a result, this house is not recommended eligible for the National Register.

Bounded by Loantaka Way to the south and the Forrest Reserve to the north, west and east. Surrounding Environment: Woodland, Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: As late as 1887 this was part of a huge, undeveloped tract belonging to Mrs. Philip Cooper. By 1910 the present house existed. Enos Wilder, landowner and architectural patron (see surveys 1417-0069 and 1417-0022) had acquired all this land for himself and his children. The house was constructed c. 1895. Theme: Significance: This house possesses some historical significance for its associations with Enos Wilder; however, alterations to the building since the Acroterion survey of 1986 have seriously impacted its integrity of design and materials. The replacement of original multi-light/1 sash wood windows with 1/1 vinyl sash has been particularly detrimental. As a result, the house is not recommended eligible for the National Register.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This was the home of Henry G. Pilch, a Madison lawyer. Theme: Significance: In 1986, the house was described as "an unusually well handled Period Revival/Craftsman house with interiors in an excellent state of integrity." However, the integrity has diminished since 1986.

The main cross-shaped block is one-story with clerestory windows and lower side aisles. The roof is supported by rather lightweight hammer-beam construction. The tower, itself, open to the interior of the church, extends upward two additional stories with a steep-pitched pyramidal tile roof and contains a belfry. The building abounds in Gothic detail. All windows are pointed arch with Medieval-type stained glass. The rose windows at either end of the long arch of the axis have pointed arch surrounds. The tower over the axis is over scaled, making the building visually top- heavy. Four griffins project from the tower as gargoyles.

The church was renovated in the 1976 by the firm of Genovese and Maddalene, Architects. The changes reflect a desire to return to the original graceful lines and beauty of the 1905 church. The traditional transept-nave plan was reconfigured into a centrally-staged area, which allowed for visibility of the pulpit from all sides. The interior was not accessible during the time of survey in 2015.

The church and parish house sit on a slight rise. At rear to the northeast, adjacent to the parish house, is the 1959 International style, buff brick School of St. Vincent Martyr.

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Situated off Main Street in Madison. Located on a large, rolling lot. A walkway leads to the church from Green Village Road. Historic property includes the church and rectory, though there is a modern church on the property. Surrounding Environment: Institutional

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Roman Catholic community in Madison was one of the most influential in Morris County from an early date, due initially to the presence of a French emigre community at the turn of the eighteenth century, fleeing the Terror of 1793 in France and the slave revolt of 1801 in the French West Indies.

As the immigration patterns in Madison changed, French priests were replaced by Irish ones. In 1906, when St. Vincent's Church was dedicated, it received its first Italian-speaking priest, at a time when Madison had the largest Italian population of any Morris County municipality.

As of 1987, St. Vincent's was the mother church of 23 parishes. It was largely through the prominence of this Madison congregation that the College and Academy of St. Elizabeth were founded at Convent Station.

There were two additional buildings on the property that were demolished and replaced with school buildings between 1987 and 1995.

Ministry Center- Foursquare, porch across front, synthetic siding. However, at rear is Foursquare garage with original siding and true Foursquare dormers and hipped roof.

Former estate of James A. Webb, now nuns' residence, is a sprawling, much changed Italianate structure of the mid- nineteenth century. The main block is three stories high, several wings and additions are one and two story high; screened porch on front with Italianate details. The house has an almost flat roof with a wide overhang supported by inchworm Italianate brackets.

The properties now owned by the church have many very large, specimen trees including copper beeches, weeping beeches, weeping mulberries etc. Theme: Religion Significance: Despite some alterations, the overall architectural quality and the importance of the congregation to the history of the community render this church eligible for listing in the National Register under Criteria A and C.

Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: J. H. (James Herbert) McGraw of the book publishing company, built "Edgewood" sometime between 1887 and 1919, across Webb Avenue from "Wyndehurst," the estate of millionaire James A. Webb (present site of the Webb Tract Historic District, see 1417-0086).

McGraw was born in Harmony, New York, on December 17, 1860. He was a public school teacher prior to beginning his career in publishing in 1884. Four years later, he purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances and began specializing in technical and trade publications. In 1902, he founded the McGraw Publishing Company and in 1909, the McGraw-Hill Company. Despite McGraw's accomplishments as a publisher, he stated near the end of his life that teaching was his greatest achievement.

Mr. McGraw died in San Francisco, California on February 21, 1948. He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Morristown, New Jersey. Theme: Architecture Significance: Edgewood is a fine example of the Queen Anne/Colonial Revival hybrid and retains excellent architectural integrity. Moreover, it is associated with noted publisher J. H. McGraw. As a result, it is recommended potentially eligible for listing in the National Register under Criteria B and C.

The great weight of the building is emphasized by the warm, brown uncoursed ashlar of its walls. Main block has steep-pitched parapet gables; the front entrance, facing Green Avenue is in the base of a three-story, square topped, squat tower. The door is surrounded by a triple recessed round-headed Romanesque arch with foliate detail from which the arch springs. Two one-story appendages attached to the base of the tower on either side of the door The one on the west side is octagonal in form, while the one on the right is semi-circular and encloses extra usable space at the rear of the sanctuary."

The building retains the same characteristics in 2015. The interior was not surveyed for the current project, but was described in 1986 as follows:

"The interiors are distinguished by a series of soft stained glass windows in various geometrical designs. Some of the windows, particularly those in the circular section, are especially handsome done in all crystal glass. This same type of glass is used in the sliding pocket doors, which allows the interior to be enlarged when needed. The interior males a simple and strong Romanesque statement with fine carved quarter-sawn golden oak woodwork used for the altar, wainscoting, and other trim. The sanctuary is open to the roof and at the crossing of the axis is supported by large graceful oak, Romanesque arches spring from carved Foliate. The building's interior is one of a golden, glowing unified harmony.

"The 1887 building is connected to the 1928 Parish House by a one-story enclosed hyphen utilizing the brownstone round- headed arches of the Webb Chapel and the stucco of the Parish House." Physical Contributing Original Use: Present Use: Condition: Integrity: Structure:

In 1986, the house was on "one half flat acre, open except for two mature shade trees in front. Rear has one large old- fashioned vegetable and flower garden with mature antique rose bushes."

The site is currently a large apartment complex. Bounded by Wilmer Street to the north. Surrounding Environment: Residential, Institutional

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The subject building was demolished between 1987 and 1995.

As built, the Barlow House was a Gothic Revival with Stick Style, two-story (plus attic) house with a shingle and shiplap clapboard exterior. The foundation was cemented over brick and the windows were 1/1. The house had a complex gable and hipped roof with one brick chimney with fireclay octagonal pot. The main block was rectangular with a one-story ell.

Acroterion stated the house had "a complex roof design for a cottage. Top of roof hipped with small triangular gable; below that main roof is gable, long side facing street with two un-matched large dormers. South one crosses ridge of gable roof and show[ed] extended-nave hammer-beam bracing. South one smaller with shed roof and sides covered with notch-edge Queen Anne shingles. Both ha[d] tall, narrow double windows. Porch has paired, square chamfered posts with stick-style cross bracing at top." Theme: Significance: At the time of the Acroterion survey, the house had some architectural significance. The consultants stated that the house was "on a street that has lost most of its single-family houses, this is an exceptionally charming survivor, an excellent reminder of just how handsome a well-designed late-Victorian-era cottage could be. No major changes have been made to its exterior fabric. That, combined with its old garden, gives it a real nineteenth century air. In spite of the garden apartments surround it; this is a house with fighting for. The neighborhood is stable and should remain so."

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Located south of the Madison Train Station on a large lot with an open front lawn. Surrounding Environment: Institutional

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Dedicated in 1935, Madison’s Neoclassical town hall was designed by architect Richard S. Shapter and funded by Madison resident, Ethel Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge (Guter 1987). Dodge was the niece of John D. Rockefeller and wife of Marcellus Hartley Dodge, the grandson of Remington Arms Company’s president. At the age of 26, Marcellus Hartley Dodge’s fortune was estimated around $60 million (Guter 1987).

The new municipal building was constructed in honor of the couple’s only child, Hartley, who died in an automobile accident in 1930. The location of the memorial, opposite the train station and within the view shed of Webb Memorial Chapel, shifted the focus of Madison’s downtown further west and away from the old “Civic Triangle” formed by the James Building, Library and YMCA (Guter 1987).

The building took nearly three years to construct, costing more than $800,000 (Guter 1987). Built of granite from Deer Island, Maine, and imported marble, the Hartley Dodge Memorial became one of the most opulent municipal buildings in the state. Local press coverage focused on the building’s materials and engineering aspects, such as the elaborate drainage system made of crushed stone, piped canals, and an automatic electric pumping mechanism (Daily Record 1973). The building originally housed Madison's Fire Department.

In 2006, the entire building underwent a restoration and rehabilitation of the interior funded in part by the New Jersey Historic Trust (New Jersey Historic Trust 2006). The Fire Department moved out at that time. Theme: Architecture Significance: The Hartley Dodge Building is eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion A and C, both for its local significance to Madison and as an excellent example of a Georgian Revival public building. It is a key-contributing building to the Madison Civic Commercial Historic District (1417-107). Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

Dodge was struck by lightening. Despite the best efforts of the Madison Fire Dept., the barn and 5 horses were lost. The primary impediment to fighting the fire was a hand-pump mechanism in place on fire fighting equipment at the time. This mechanism dispersed water at irregular intervals, and not the continuous, pressurized stream modern-day fire fighters are accustomed to. In gratitude for the fire departments efforts, Mrs. Dodge called the Ahrens Fox Fire Engine Company, and to paraphrase Chief DeRosa, she "wanted the best of the best". The result was a P series pumper delivered to Madison in May, 1921 to great fan fare. Geraldine stayed in service until 1964, when she was sold to a museum. Quickly changing hands, "Geraldine" has been to Nevada, California and New England, prior to returning to Madison, New Jersey. One of the notable features about Geraldine is her retention of original equipment: fire houses, nozzles, bell, etc., and receiving only two coats of paint in her existence, despite being housed in many climates and relocations . Any alteration to Geraldine, such as adding a windshield, were done with caution to be easily removed without damaging the near pristine condition. Chief DeRosa further relayed that "Geraldine" is the only fire truck to have been housed in three of the four fire houses in Madison. An oddity; although Geraldine is painted red, the truck always photographs as orange. When visiting Geraldine, note the patina on the right-hand drive side of the truck, as opposed to the left hand side Geraldine. It would appear that Geraldine pulled into fire locations by the driver's side and was exposed to more heat on the right. This is evident in the hoses, especially. The term "Smoke Eaters" is an historic term used for firemen in the early days of organized fire fighting. Evolving from the bucket brigade to scientific fire fighting equipment, Chief DeRosa explained that the fire helmets were designed simply to keep the firemen dry, thus the large-billed helmets. Turn out gear, or the equipment used by firemen to answer a fire call, consisted of a rubber rain coat, rubber boots and a large billed helmet; their faces were exposed to heat and smoke: "Smoke Eaters".

The engine has a wheelbase of 179 ½", a tread of 66” and a 30’ turning radius. Geraldine is fitted with a six cylinder, vertical “Tee-Head”, four cycle water-cooled engine with a 5 7/8” cylinder bores and a 7” stroke. When manufactured the engine made 135 Brake Test horsepower. A three speed forward and reverse, selective sliding gear transmission provides power via a chain drive system to the rear axle. The engine could be started either by a hand crank driven high tension magneto or by means of an electric starter powered by a 12 volt battery and Delco motor generator.

The fire engine boasts a “Twin Triple” Multiplex-Piston pump featuring six, 4 1/8” bore cylinders with a 6” stroke with a combined total displacement of 4.282 gallons. The pump was capable of pushing 1300 gallons per minute at 120 pounds per square inch to a 10’ height. The pump could be fed by either 6” or 2 ½” suction ports and was fitted with four 2 ½” discharge gates.

The right hand drive truck has a fully open cockpit. The hood, fenders and other body elements are fabricated of sheet metal panels. The truck frame is constructed of ¼” thick pressed steel flanges with a 7” section and the chassis is supported by front and rear semi-elliptical springs. The hose body is of riveted and braced steel plate construction. The bottom is constructed of hardwood slats with gaps to provide for water drainage and ventilation. The side panels are fitted with 1 ½ metal tubular railings. Hand rails also extend across the upper part of the front and rear of the bed. The hose body was designed to have a capacity of 1500’ of 2 1/2 " cotton jacketed fire hose and was constructed as a separate entity so it could be removed as a unit from the truck chassis. The hose body is also equipped with an Aherns-Fox Booster System that included a 60 gallon fresh water tank and a hose reel equipped with 200’ of chemical engine hose. The booster system permitted the truck to efficiently fight smaller fires which otherwise would have been extinguished utilizing potentially toxic chemical extinguishers. The most distinctive attribute of the fire engine is the chrome plated sphere that surmounts its pump. The sphere was a signature feature of all Aherns-Fox fire engines. The mechanical innovation functioned as pressure tank that insured consistent water pressure during all phases of the pump’s operation.

The chassis, body, engine, pump, pump drive and major mechanical components are original to the fire engine although some secondary elements have been replaced. The lanterns, siren and bell, fire hoses, engine hoses, ladders, wheels and tires and electrical wiring have all been replaced with reproduction or period accurate fixtures from other engines or other sources. An electric fuel pump has been added to improve the original gravity fed fuel system which did not perform well in hilly terrain. A windshield and windshield wipers were installed during the period of the engine’s active use as a fire fighting apparatus but these have been subsequently removed to return the vehicle to its original configuration. “Geraldine” has also been repainted.

"Geraldine" is housed in a non-contributing building in the Madison Civic Commercial Historic District (1417-0107). The firetruck itself is a contributing feature within the district.

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided The Madison Fire Department and Police Building was constructed in 2006. Although it is a non-historic building, the fire house will serve as permanent storage to the 1921 Ahrens Fox, P series fire truck, known as "Geraldine." Surrounding Environment: Across the street from railroad tracks

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: On July 30, 1920, the Madison Eagle reported that Mrs. Geraldine R. Dodge had agreed to pay the Ahrens-Fox Fire Engine Company approximately $18,000 to provide the town of Madison with a brand new fire engine. The paper reported that “The Ahrens-Fox engine which Mrs. Geraldine R. Dodge is presenting to the borough is the largest piece of fire-fighting machinery ever built by its manufacturers. By its possession, Madison’s protection is not only far in advance of communities its size, but its equipment in this respect is ahead of many of the large cities of the country. It is even questioned that any city has a piece of fire apparatus of greater power.”

Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge (April 3, 1882 – August 13, 1973) was the youngest daughter of Almira Geraldine Goodsell and William Avery Rockefeller, Jr. William Avery Rockefeller helped found Standard Oil with his brother John D. Rockefeller, Sr., and four other partners. In 1907, Geraldine married Marcellus Hartley Dodge, President of the Remington Arms Company. In 1916, the couple purchased an expansive estate in Madison, New Jersey, now known as Giralda Farms. Mrs. Dodge was both a philanthropist and local civic supporter.

The impetus behind Mrs. Dodge’s purchase of a fire engine was a fire that occurred approximately a week earlier, on July 22nd, when a lightning strike set fire the Dodge estate’s barn complex, killing five of Mrs. Dodge’s horses. Five days later, at Mrs. Dodge’s request, the Ahrens-Fox Fire Engine Company provided a formal proposal and specifications for a new fire engine to supplement Madison’s aging and inadequate Webb Motorized Pumping Engine. This was not Mrs. Dodge’s first demonstration of civic beneficence, as she had earlier provided the Madison Police Department with a new motorcycle for the purposes of patrolling Madison Avenue.

The Model P-4 Fire Engine ordered by Mrs. Dodge was one of the largest and most capable engines available at the time. The P designation identified a premium fire truck featuring a hose body, a six-cylinder engine and six-piston pump rated at1300 gpm. The “4” designation indicated that the truck was fitted with a booster system. The booster system was an Aherns-Fox innovation that was one of the company’s greatest contributions to fire truck design. The P-4 was the most expensive and capable model that Aherns-Fox produced at that time. Between 1919 and 1927, Aherns-Fox delivered 23 P-model trucks. Only 9 of these were deluxe P-4 trucks fitted with a booster tank. Mrs. Dodge’s truck was the very first P-4 fire engine ever produced.

Madison’s new fire truck was delivered by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in May of 1921 and stored in Mrs. Dodge’s garage until the day of its formal dedication. On May 14, a grand parade was held to welcome the new truck and to honor Mrs. Dodge for her gift. Fire Chiefs from all of the surrounding communities, as well as the nearby cities of Paterson, Passaic, Orange, Elizabeth, Newark, Plainfield, Jersey City, Bayonne and Summit, were in attendance, as was the Fire Commissioner of New York City. The Madison Fire Department had requested that the engine be fitted with a special plaque that read “Presented to the Fire Department of the Borough of Madison By Mrs. Geraldine R. Dodge, May 14, 1921."

Speaking at the reviewing stand set up at Lackawanna Plaza, Borough Councilman Frank Waters recounted the events of the fire on Mrs. Dodge’s estate that had precipitated the purchase of the new engine, “The firemen of Madison responded with all of their energy and fearlessness in an effort to save her property, and it was found that the pumping engine was not sufficient to throw water in the volume of force required. This lady had visions of fire menacing homes of other citizens of the borough, and she pictured what the probable results would be with inadequate equipment. Immediately afterwards she gave an order for the purchase of the best pumping engine that money could buy. The magnificent and powerful machine now before us is a realization of her desire to see Madison with ample fire protection.”

The new engine entered service immediately after the celebration. The engine was housed in the Borough’s existing fire house until 1934 when Mrs. Dodge paid for the construction of the “Hartley Dodge Memorial Building.” The Hartley Dodge Memorial Building was a large opulent Colonial Revival municipal building that also was designed to house the town’s fire department. It was given to Madison by Mrs. Dodge in memory of her only child, Hartley, who had died in an automobile accident in 1930. The Aherns-Fox P-4 continued to serve Madison until 1954 until a mechanical failure occurred while fighting a fire at St. Vincent’s Church. Considered unreliable at that point, the old engine was taken out of active service and eventually replaced by a 1960 Mack Pumper truck. “Geraldine,” as she had by that time become affectionately known in honor of her donor, was sold to the Fire Department of Ashley, Pennsylvania, where she was used as a parade truck. Prior to her sale, the dedication plaque and her chrome bell were removed and retained by Madison Fire Department to commemorate Mrs. Dodge’s gift and the well-known fire engine’s many years of service.

Following its sale, “Geraldine” was repainted to bear the name of the Ashley Fire Department. After three years of parade duty, the truck was sold to Harrah’s Casino in Las Vegas for display in its National Automobile and Truck Museum. Harrah’s auctioned of the fire engine in 1981 and Geraldine passed to a private collector of firefighting equipment in Massachusetts, where she remained until 2012 when she was returned for a 12-month loan to the Madison Fire Department for display. Funds to repurchase the engine were subsequently raised through public subscription, municipal contribution and a Morris County Open Space Trust Fund, Historic Preservation Grant. The Madison Fire Department has since embarked on a maintenance program best described philosophically as consisting of equal parts of informed rehabilitation and preservation.

“Geraldine” was rededicated on 30 May, 2015. In an abundance of caution, “Geraldine’s” wet-down was celebrated without water. Theme: Significance: "Geraldine" is historically significant as a well-preserved example of one of the most technologically advanced and mechanically capable fire engines of her time. Of the original nine Ahern-Fox P-4 Fire Engines produced, only three survive today. The P-4 truck owned by Society for the Preservation & Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus, originally purchased by the Syracuse (NY) Fire Department, is an equally well-preserved example but lacks the distinction of being both the first P-series truck constructed and the first P-4 model. "Geraldine" is also significant for the symbolic and tangible role the fire engine played within the context of the municipal development of the Borough of Madison. For over a quarter century, between 1921 and 1954, the truck served both as one of the community’s primary focal points of civic pride and as its principal line of defense against devastating fires. Additionally, Geraldine is significant for her direct association with Geraldine R. Dodge, a person of notable historic prominence within the local social and civic landscape of Madison but also a member of a historically significant group of nationally important early twentieth century philanthropists including Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie who channeled vast fortunes acquired during the industrialization of the United States into charitable efforts and foundations targeted at improving the lives of all citizens.

On November 13 of 2012, the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office issued a Certification of Eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places that encompassed both the Hartley Dodge Memorial Building and "Geraldine." The NJHPO stated that "Geraldine" represented “the transition from bucket brigades to continuous stream fire fighting, as such offers a unique opportunity for educating the public about the history of fire fighting techniques and apparatus.” According to the NJHPO, "Geraldine" exhibited “a high state of preservation and degree of architectural integrity.”

Although the individual listing of motor vehicles on the National Register of Historic Places is rare, at least one other fire truck, Boca Raton Fire Truck No. 1 (a 1925 American LaFrance Type 75), has been listed. "Geraldine" is a comparably well-

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: From the National Register of Historic Places nomination form, completed by Terry Karshner in 1979:

"The Madison Public Library is a Richardsonian Romanesque building designed by the Boston architecture firm of Brigham and Adden in 1900. Charles Brigham ( -1925), a F.A.I.A. out of Boston, Massachusetts, primarily worked within the New England region. Early in his career he paired with John Sturgis to build the Boston Museum (c. 1876) at Copley Square (replaced by the Plaza Hotel around 1900). Later Brigham joined with John Spofford to create the firm of Brigham and Spofford, which functioned from the 1880's to c. 1900. From 1905-1909 Brigham was associated with the firm of Brigham, Coveney and Bisbee (nee Coveney and Bisbee).

The periodical American Architect and Building News published numerous designs done by Brigham indicating a penchant for Neo-classical, English Tudor, and Romanesque styles. Two of Brigham's buildings are already listed on the National Register. The Richardsonian Romanesque Stoughton Railroad Station in Massachusetts (1888) and the Lewiston, Maine, City Hall (1890-92), which he collaborated with John Spofford to build. Little is known of W.P. Adden, architect, save the fact that he at least co-designed the Madison Public Library.

When it opened on Memorial Day, 1900, it became Madison's first public library. Almost from the start its programs were progressively oriented to providing all area inhabitants with library services. Until 1912 a horse-drawn bookmobile carried library benefits to outlying districts -- an important service not renewed until 1922 by the Morris County Library. From 1900 until 1906 a free public lecture series was sponsored one each year delivered in Italian. This, together with a substantial collection of the Italian language books, recognized the importance of Madison's large immigrant community. Bilingual service was in tradition of larger urban libraries and settlement houses of the period, but infrequently available in smaller towns such as Madison.

The James Building and the Public Library opposite enjoyed a symbiotic relationship early in the twentieth century; an example of speculation for public benefit. The James Building, built in 1899 by Dr. Willis James, was to use its commercial rents to finance construction of the Madison Public Library and furnish an endowment for its continued operation. This visionary plan was successful until the Great Depression which eventually wiped out the commercial revenue." Theme: Architecture Significance: The Madison Public Library and the James Building are listed on the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A, as an example of a speculative commercial venture for public benefit (the James Building) and as Madison’s first public library. It is also significant as an excellent example of both Richardsonian Romanesque and Jacobean Revival architecture with few alterations since its erection and as the work of Brigham and Adden.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: From a New Jersey HPO survey form completed by Lynn Drobbin & Associates in 2001:

"The building known as 41 Kings Road was constructed ca. 1906. The property at the time was owned by Edward and Frederick Miller (Morris County Deeds G-14 324 and Z-15 568). The building, first being depicted in detail on the Sanborn Map of Madison in 1912, was built as a Democratic social club. The Democratic Club was founded by twenty residents of Madison led by Fred W. Bardon in 1904. The Club originally met within the former Dunning Building located at 5 Waverly Place. By 1906, the Club, now known as the Alert Social Club, moved their headquarters to the newly erected two-story building at 41 Kings Road. The Club occupied the second floor and the first floor of the building, which was designed to house the Waverly Bowling Alleys. One of the activities of the Club was the formation of a baseball team, called the Alerts. The Alerts helped bring this national pastime to a high level of popularity in Madison (Richmond 1909; Sanborn Map Company 1912; Esposito 1985:192-193).

"The Alert Social Club is believed to have occupied the building until around 1918 (Richmond 1916, 1918). In 1921, the Miller brothers sold the place to John E. Clarey, Jr., who at the time was the owner of the Madison Eagle, a weekly newspaper housed on Main Street (Morris County Deed S-26 255). Immediately after acquiring the Kings Road property, he moved the newspaper business into the building, renovating the first floor as his printing office. The second floor of the building he converted into six apartments. Here, Clarey operated the newspaper into the early 1940s. In the years 1936 and 1937, the Madison-Eagle was awarded first prize by the New Jersey Press Association for general excellence. In 1938, the newspaper was claimed to have the best front page in the weekly newspaper division (Suttie 1948; Madison Eagle-Chatham Courier 1955; The Madison-Eagle 1956).

"In 1945, the Madison-Eagle was purchased by Charles McDermott, who moved the establishment from Kings Road to 137 Main Street (Suttie 1948). John E. Clarey, Jr. retained ownership of 41 Kings Road for another four years during which time he leased the first floor of the building as an upholstering and cabinet business (Sanborn Map Company 1948). In 1949, he sold the building to Russel E. Adamson (Morris County Deed X-46 202). Adamson sold it in the following year to Maru Investors, who retained the property until 1955 (Morris County Deed 8-47 270).

"In 1956, the property was acquired by Madison Eagle, Inc., who had gained control of the Madison-Eagle by this time. On October 25, 1956, the Company relocated its offices from Main Street back to the King Road property (Morris County Deed Y- 59 512; The Madison Eagle 1956). The former Alert Social Club Building once again became the home of the Madison-Eagle a situation that lasted into the early 1970s. In 1972, shortly after vacating the building, the property was sold to Kenneth A Haynes (Morris County Deed 2266 826). In the following year, Haynes sold the place to the Delana family, who still retain

Date Printed 10/12/2015 5:03:03 PM MORRIS COUNTY, NJ Inventory Number: 1417-0035 Individual Resource Survey Form Acroterion Number: Historic Name: Alert Social Club Common Name: Madison Eagle Offices

ownership of the property to this day (Morris County Deeds 2299 605, 2389 304 and 4543 101). Countryside Studios presently occupy the first floor of the building, while the second floor is still being utilized as several apartments." Theme: Social History Significance: The building at 41 Kings Road, constructed ca. 1906 and used as the headquarters for the Alert Social Club and as the home of the Madison-Eagle for over 40 years, is eligible for listing on the National Register under Criterion A for its contributions to the development of the early-mid twentieth century social life of the Borough of Madison and as the home of the local newspaper which documented local history and events with excellence.

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Sited on a very small lot near to corner of Prospect Street and Lincoln Place on a slightly sloping site. According to the Acroterion survey, the barn to the east (now much changed) is said to have been built with timbers from the Presbyterian Church of South Hanover (old Madison Presbyterian Church) built on King's Road c. 1749. The building next door (Albert Searing House) to it is an early structure in the same form; the two buildings are now connected by a breezeway in the rear. Bounded by Lincoln Place to the south, Prospect Street to the east, a twentieth century commercial building to the north and an access road to the west. Surrounding Environment: Commercial, Transportation

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Tradition says this was one half of the Presbyterian Manse, moved c. 1850. It was the home of the Perrine family from at least 1853 to 1868. Theme: Significance: Acroterion reported that, prior to a c.1985 renovation, the Perrine House was a superb example of a small New Jersey vernacular Federal house. However, due to the lack of original architectural material and heavy modernizations, it is not recommended eligible for listing in the National Register.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: From a New Jersey HPO survey form completed by Lynn Drobbin & Associates in 2001:

"The property containing 13 Prospect Street was once part of the homestead property of Flavel Woodruff, who erected a dwelling around 1800 within the southern intersection of Prospect Street and Kings Road (Morris County Deed D-3 536; Tuttle 1916). Henry Keep claimed the Flavel House as his residence following his acquisition of the property in 1836 (Morris County Deed D-3 536). When Keep purchased the property, the line of the Morris and Essex Railroad, which was under construction, ran through the northeastern portion of the land dividing it into two separate lots. His house, situated on 28 acres of land, was located on the southwest side of the railroad, while the remaining 1 and 30/100 acres of his property (including site of 13 Prospect Street) was situated to the northeast of the railroad.

"In 1846, Henry Keep subdivided the 1 and 30/100 acre-lot into six parcels. The site of 13 Prospect Street fell within Lot No. 3, sold in July of that year to William H. Sayre. The lot, which fronted on Prospect Street for 60.5 feet and extended in a northwesterly direction for about 280 feet, was purchased for $156.75. Sayre at the time was residing at the intersection of Prospect Street and Main Street, where he also operated a "tanning and shoe establishment" (Morris County Deed I-4 256). In the following December, he sold the property to Alfred Searing for $156 (Morris County Deed O-4 416). Shortly after acquiring the property Searing is believed to have erected a building on the property. This building is first depicted on the Hughes Map of Madison published in 1857 as an L-shaped structure, labeled "A. Searing" (Hughes 1857).

"One year after the publication of the Hughes map, Alfred Searing and his wife Mary E., who are believed to have resided on the property for 12 years, sold it to Edward L. Boisaubin (Morris County Deed Q-5 444). The Boisaubin family owned it for four years and then, in 1862, sold it to David H. Hicks (Morris County Deed D-6 597). David H. Hicks, who is known to have been a station agent for the railroad between 1874 and 1898, claimed 13 Prospect Street as his residence up until his wife's death, which occurred sometime around 1901 (Lant 1874, 1876). In that year, he sold the place to Peter W. Earls (Morris County Deed Q-16 1 07). Earls is also believed to have been employed by the railroad, initially as a driver and later as an agent (Richmond 190:3, 1909).

"Peter W. Earls and his family occupied the property into the 1940s. Sometime around 1944, Earls died intestate and the property was passed to his two children Ira P. Earls and Florence E. Bergmen. On December 22, 1944, Ira P. Earls quit claimed his interest in the property to his sister Florence (Morris County Deed 0-38 20). Bergmen resided at 13 Prospect Street until her death, which is believed to have occurred around 1965. In the following year the heirs to her estate sold the house to Kersti Sandwall (Morris County Deed 1988 1). Sandwall's tenure was short lived. In 1967, the property was acquired by John S. Shoaf who occupied the place until 1971.

"In that year he and his wife, Cordelia M. Shoaf sold it to its present owners James M. Weichert and his wife Pamela Weichert (Morris County Deed 2193:861). In 1983, they renovated the place along with 15 Prospect Street as their Madison real estate offices (Easton 1983). As of August, 2001, both structures continue to be used by Weichert Realty." Theme: Transportation Significance: The Alfred Searing House, although it does not possess any known associations with significant persons, is in its original setting near the railroad and has retained its original architectural integrity. It survives as an excellent example of a type of residential structure that dates from the mid-nineteenth century village of Madison. In addition, the structure, having served as the home of two railroad employees, is significant for its associations with the railroad. It is significant under Criterion A for its associations with the Morris & Essex Railroad by serving as the residence for at least two known railroad employees and under Criterion C as an excellent and relatively intact example of the type of housing that was constructed in the mid- nineteenth century village of Madison. Many of the resources remaining from this area and period in Madison were either destroyed by the 1877 fire or were demolished to provide ample room for the elevation of the railroad in 1916. The resource, although in close proximity to the railroad and downtown, has survived both of these events. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Madison Railroad Station was designed by Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad architect Frank J. Nies and William H. Botsford in 1916. The original plans for the station were drawn by Botsford and revised by Nies after Botsford’s death. The Madison station complex is an exceptionally fine example of the Collegiate Gothic, a style popular in the early twentieth century, especially for academic buildings, but rare in N.J. station architecture. Originally it was meant to recall the medieval architecture of such campuses as Oxford and Cambridge in England. In this instance, the style may have been chosen to herald the fact that Madison was an academic community, the seat of both Drew University and a branch of Farleigh Dickinson University. The stonework and gable end coping bear some similarities to that of the Lake Hopatcong and Mountain Lakes stations further west on the line and to that of the Princeton station on the Pennsylvania line, but none of these other complexes is as large, as stylistically consistent, and as finely detailed as the Madison station. Particularly noteworthy are the waiting rooms of both the station and the shelter with their expansive arch truss roofs and medieval chandeliers. In addition, materials are high quality, including marble, slate, and other types of stone. Design work was executed “In house” by the DL&W Railroad. The railroad solicited local contributions of 10% toward the acquisition of additional land and the construction of the station. Unlike other communities along the line, Madison was delighted by the proposal and raised $160,000, much more than the actual cost. Additionally, Mrs. D. Willis James offered to pay the cost of purchasing the land and relocating some of the streets. Theme: Transportation Significance: The Madison Railroad Station was listed on the National Register as a contributing property to the Operating Passenger Railroad Stations Thematic Nomination and is also significant under Criteria C as a fine example of Collegiate Gothic architecture in New Jersey. It is also a key contributing building to the Madison Civic Commercial Historic District (1417-0107) and a contributing feature of the Old Main Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Historic District (1417-0108).

In 1986, the building reportedly sat close to the street on ground rising to rear on lot approximately 100 by 300.

The existing building employs a similar configuration on the lot and is surrounded by a vast parking area. Bounded by Main Street to the north. Surrounding Environment: Commercial

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Bottle Hill Tavern (or Inn) was constructed c. 1812 and was a two-story, five-bay vernacular Federal inn with a center hall plan with a two-story wing. It had a clapboard with brick veneer exterior and modern windows, shutters and doors. It had a gable roof and multiple brick end chimneys.

According to Acroterion, it was "basically a straightforward, good-sized tavern catering to turnpike traffic. Now embellished with brick veneer facade, two story square columned, rather grandiose portico, and all sorts of blister and war like additions ne of which features a picture of the Widow Brown herself. Dating from the immediate post-turnpike decade, this tavern was moved by the Madison Historical Society in 1923 from southwest corner of Main Street and Waverly Place."

It was demolished in 1991. A twenty-first-century bank that takes the same shape, style and form as the original Bottle Hill Tavern is currently on the site. Theme: Social History Significance: It was here that Lafayette was entertained when he stopped in Madison during his triumphal 1825 return to the United States; Mathias Burnet and Baxter Sayre were the first owners.

Acroterion believed the building in 1986 lacked integrity. The survey reads as follows, "unsympathetic, modern additions and ill- advised attempts at 'restoration' have turned this building into a caricature of its former self." The building is no longer extant and therefore ineligible for the National Register. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The present-day headquarters of the Madison Masonic Lodge was constructed in 1824 as the Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township (formally the Presbyterian Church of South Hanover). The Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township developed out of the Presbyterian Church of South Hanover that was founded in 1747 to serve both Bottle Hill and Chatham Township residents (Hatch 2007).

Discussions of a new church began as early as 1808. After almost two decades of deliberation a site on Main Street, across from the original meeting house, was selected for the new building. The new site location was closer to Madison residents and caused tension within the congregation. As a result, forty residents split away from the church and founded the Presbyterian Church of Chatham in 1823 (Hatch 2007).

The Main Street church was dedicated on May 18, 1825 and served the congregation for over a century. In 1846, the church became known as the Presbyterian Church of Madison. By 1929, the congregation considered enlarging Webb Chapel, the building used for Sunday and weekday services. The enlargement of Webb Chapel enabled the congregation to have their services in one location and abandon the Main Street Church. In 1930, the Main Street Church was sold to Free Masons, with the stipulation that the building’s exterior remained intact (Hatch 2007).

Renovations to the building began immediately after the Masons acquired the building. Although few changes were made to the exterior, the interior was completely renovated to suit the organization’s use. Free Mason George W. Backus was the architect responsible for the renovations and redesigned the interior in the Colonial Revival style (Hatch 2007). Work began in the fall of 1930 with fellow Free Mason Benyew D. Philhower as lead carpenter, and was completed the following year. The Mason’s dedication ceremony was held on September 12, 1931, and the organization continues to use the building today (Vanderpoel 1934). Theme: Architecture Significance: The current headquarters of the Madison Masonic Lodge was listed on the National and State Registers under Criterion C. At the time of its construction in 1824, the building served as the Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township. The exterior of the building is significant as a largely intact example of the Federal architectural style as exemplified in a Wren-Gibbs style church building. In terms of integrity, the former church retains its original siting, form, massing, fenestration and details. The interior was updated in the Colonial Revival style in 1930, when the Masons acquired the building as their lodge (Hatch 2007).

A cast-iron fence dating from the third quarter of the nineteenth century, originally had spear tops. Two pairs of heavy, rusticated ashlar gateposts, one with cast-iron gates, are the means of access. Bounded by Main Street to the north, Kings Road to the south and commercial properties to the east and west. Surrounding Environment: Downtown Commercial, Residential, Village

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Sometimes referred to as Hillside Cemetery or Madison Cemetery; the earliest section is known as Bottle Hill Cemetery and is located at the rise of the hill. The site of Madison's earliest church, a log cabin constructed in 1747, the cemetery was founded in 1751. The earliest existing stone marker belongs to Ebenezer Burnet, dated 1750.

Munsell described his visit to the cemetery as containing "mere fragments," and suggested the cemetery may even be earlier. Munsell ascribed one of the earliest headstones to be deciphered as belonging to Rev. M. Horton, probably an error in his manuscript.

James A. Webb and S. W. Burnet purchased the property immediately in front of Bottle Hill Cemetery, and laid out new burial plots; the "lower" Hillside Cemetery first opened in 1878, and was acquired by the Presbyterian Church in 1970. In 1861, the cast-iron fence was erected, along with the entry gates, a substantial foot bridge replaced a wooden one, and retaining wall was constructed by the railroad cut. In this new section are two, exceptional cast-zinc tombstones dated 1900 near the Madison Avenue side. One notable internment is that of William O. Stoddard, one of President Abraham Lincoln's private secretaries.

Severely vandalized in 1974, as late as 2006 the cemetery has received unwanted visitors. Two marble urns were taken from the graves of the Gibbons family. Madison police recovered one 500-pound urn abandoned on Kings Road.

In 1986, local historian Barbara Parker wrote "More than fifty Revolutionary War soldiers and patriots are interred here, including Azariah Horton, minister of the Presbyterian Church, who died of smallpox while ministering to the troops in 1777."

The Presbyterian Church began recording and restoration efforts in 2004. Nearly 2,000 graves were photographed and a database was created to store research materials. The database may be accessed at the Presbyterian Church and at the Madison Library, Madison Historical Society wing, Keep Street. Additionally, some 100 headstones and graves were to be restored. Theme: Significance: This cemetery shows the continuous development of a community cemetery from the town's beginnings. However, since cemeteries are ineligible for the National Register and this particular one does not exhibit any design or architectural significance, it is recommended not eligible for listing in the National Register.

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Sited originally on spacious grounds, the building is now located at a busy intersection. Although the original lot was subdivided, at some point, no date is provided, rear property covering the corner of Rosedale Avenue and Highland Avenue behind the Elks became available and was purchased for $2500.00. Parking lot in rear. Bounded by Main Street to the south, Cross Street to the east, a twentieth century apartment/commercial building to the west and a parking lot to the north. Surrounding Environment: Suburban, Downtown Commercial

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: A house was located here as early as 1853 and may still exist as the core of this late nineteenth-century building.

Prior to acquisition by the Elks, this was briefly a hotel- The Rose City Inn- owned by Edward Cooney of Morristown. The Elks leased the property in 1923 and drastically altered the interior, completing renovations in early 1924. In 1927, The Elks purchased the structure, and the existing lodge room and grille were added in 1933, renovated in 1951 and again in 1988.

(Additional information on Edward Cooney, an Edward Cooney of Morristown is described as attending a wedding in 1905 of Miss Julia Elizabeth Sheehan, in Red Bank, New Jersey. Mr. Cooney had served as a groomsman at the bride's parents' wedding, and was the bride's godfather. His gift was a "handsome silver service." It would be an interesting study to research Edward Cooney, his landholdings and wealth. The Morristown Morris Township Business and Ephemera Collection has Edward F. Cooney, Wine and Liquor merchant, Morristown, 1912.) Theme: Significance: At the Elks Grand Lodge Convention in 1995, a change occurred in the constitution of the Order, allowing women to join as full members. In March 1996, Madison's Lodge was the first in the New Jersey Northwest District, encompassing four counties, to initiate women as members.

From Acroterion: "House sited on one acre property to become apartments."

Site is now an apartment complex. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: According to Acroterion, 13 Cross Street was a mid-nineteenth-century, vernacular Greek Revival farmhouse with a side facing gable roof, asbestos siding exterior and a brick foundation. The main block was rectangular and double-pile with a side hall plan. The windows were 6/6.

"Though siding is inappropriate, this house is a rare, remaining example of a type once more prevalent. Greek Revival details include returns at roofline and handsome original door surround. Rest of house is late nineteenth century. Interior condition about 75 per cent original."

In 1986, the whole neighborhood was in the process of being converted to multiple family/condos. Acroterion states that "one surmises the remaining modest houses will soon be gone. Since this does not appear on the 1853 or 1868 maps, one must assume map error or that the house was moved."

The building was demolished between 1987 and 1991. Theme: Significance: 13 Cross Street is not eligible for the National Register, as the house is no longer extant. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The need for efficient water supply for fire protection and other purposes was instrumental in bringing about the incorporation of Madison in 1899 and the construction of this building two years later. An unusually ambitious building architecturally for the provision of municipal services at the time of construction, it reflected the new Borough's prosperity and commitment to public improvement. Theme: Significance: Though this building does have local significance, it has been unfortunately completely ruined by the addition of stucco, loss of weathervane and replacement windows. It is therefore ineligible for the National Register. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Situated in a residential area. Carries Samson Avenue over the railroad right-of-way. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Samson Avenue Bridge was constructed in 1915 by Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&WRR) engineers. This bridge was built as part of a grade separation project in Madison. According to the NJ Transit Historic Railroad Bridge Survey, the Madison grade separation project enjoyed an absence of the political and financial disputes that typically raged between civic authorities and railroads (DeLeuw, Cather and Co. 1991). The entire project was completed between 1914 and 1916, using concrete for most of the bridges. This bridge is representative of the evolution in concrete design away from concrete arches. The bridge continues to carry railroad traffic over Samson Avenue for NJ Transit’s Morristown Line. Theme: Transportation Significance: The bridge is eligible for the National Register individually and as a contributing feature of the Old Main Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Historic District. It is eligible under Criterion A, for its association to Old Main Line Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad’s grade separation campaign in Madison during the early twentieth century, and under Criterion C, for its associations with the evolution of concrete design in reconstruction projects by the Railroad.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This building’s reputation as the first on the Morris Turnpike puts its date of construction between 1801, when the turnpike was chartered, and 1804, when it was completed. The occupation of Jonathan Bruen, an early owner, is not recorded, but his house suggests he was at least moderately successful. Theme: Transportation Significance: The Britten/Bruen House is significant as being one of the older homes in Madison as well as possibly the first house built on the Morris Turnpike.

In 1986, Acroterion reported, "The house s[at] well back from road on a slope, to the rear of the property. Good-size grounds (approximately two acres) well planted. At the rear is a row of nut trees including a black walnut and two scarce American chestnuts. The grounds retain nineteenth century characteristics with a number of fruit trees. There is a small dilapidated 1920's garage on west side of property." Bounded Kings Road to the south and residential properties to the east, west and north.

Presently, there is a late twentieth-century, two-story, vinyl-sided and brick-veneered residence. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This house was razed between 1987 and 1991. It was a late Gothic Revival house constructed in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It had a cruciform form and a stone foundation and was 2 ½ stories and clad in synthetic siding. There was one brick chimney, a cross gable roof and the house was laid out in a three-bay center hall plan. The windows were 1/1 replacement sash.

According to Acroterion the house was "Vernacular in appearance now, but original details are obscured by aluminum siding. The roof has a wide overhang supported by plain bar brackets and a cross gable extends forward on the east side. A pointed- arch gable window matches those in the end gables. There are various sizes of windows." Theme: Significance: Since the house has been demolished, it is not eligible for listing in the National Register.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Excerpt from First Baptist Church's website:

"In the early spring of 1895 a small group of baptized believers, desiring a place where they could assemble and commune together with their God, met in a hall at 10 Central Avenue known as Odd Fellows Hall for the purpose of organizing a Baptist Mission. In 1897 the Baptist Mission was organized as the First Baptist Church of Madison with Rev. R. L. Harris as its first Pastor.

"As the church continued to grow in membership it was noted that a larger place of worship was needed. The lot on Cook Avenue upon which the church now stands was purchased from Mr. Warren B. Burnet for the sum of $400.00 and on the first Sunday in June, 1901, an appropriate ground breaking service was held. The church was completed in February 1902 at a cost of approximately $3,500.00.

"For four months in 2005, from January until May, the First Baptist Church underwent major renovations at a cost of $350,000. The Church Congregation has made a commitment and pledged to raise funds towards the restoration and renovation of the 105 year old structure. Restoration of the sanctuary includes the stained glass windows, the original circular pews, and the Gothic architecture with slanting floors. The renovation includes new mahogany doors, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, closed circuit television, new steps from the lower level to the balcony, a new round baptistery in a redesigned Chancel area." Theme: Significance: The First Baptist Church has been substantially altered by the application of aluminum and permastone siding. As a result, it is recommended not eligible for the National Register due to a lack of architectural integrity. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

It is nearly intact in its original condition. In 1986, there were remnants of gardens, though they were not found in 1986. The property slopes toward the rear affording a walk-in basement beneath the porch, north side has the usual mixture of windows with an octagonal wooden bay on the ground level. The south side is more elaborate with a slightly-extended three- story, wooden, rectangular bay.

No. 38 Part of the Force complex of residences surrounding the Force Iron Works, the house is a simple mid-nineteenth century vernacular two-story with attic frame structure with an L-shaped Italianate porch across front and south side. The main block of house fronting Park Avenue is a simple rectangle, gable roof, side hall three bay, however, the building is very deep extending back some distance on the lot, as if it had had at least two rear two-story additions. This was the home of Mrs. C.C. Force, the owner of the ironworks in 1910. House is now covered with asphalt. The long narrow property borders James Park on the south and the old ironworks building on the north.

No. 42 The ironworks is now in adaptive use by a series of small businesses, office and light manufacturing. The building is a long one-story high brick factory building at rear and a two-story, more elaborate brick building fronting the street. This has a curved, stone trim.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Charles C. Force was the village blacksmith and machinist for more than 50 years. The Force family was in possession of No. 49 Park Avenue by 1919 (according to the Mueller Atlas) and apparently purchased it from Daniel Burns; "well-known as a builder of stone houses " The Madison Eagle article says that the house is more than 50 years old.

The house appears on the 1887 maps with the Burns name. Burns' masonry skills were also responsible for the shelter and bridge in James Park and for a house owned by Enos Wilder on Loantaka Way.

The north section of Memorial Park was also included in the Force family complex originally. The lot facing Park Avenue belonged to William Force and to the rear of his property stood a wagon works connected to the mill. Theme(s): Industry/Architecture Significance: The district as a whole is ineligible for listing due to lack of integrity and cohesiveness. However, the main house at 49 Park Avenue is recommended eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C as a fine an intact example of domestic Gothic Revival architecture.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: From Grace Episcopal Church website:

I. Colonial Background

Although Grace Church was not established until 1854, the roots of an Episcopal parish in the Madison area can be traced back to colonial days. One would not think that the Church of England would have difficulties establishing itself in the English colonies, but such was the case in northern New Jersey. Northern New Jersey was settled by Puritan New Englanders who had come via Connecticut and Long Island. They settled first in Newark and Elizabeth, and some moved west in the late seventeenth century to what became Morris County. These people were solidly Presbyterian and the Anglican church found itself a late comer.

Anglican activity in this area began under the administration of Edward Hyde, Viscount Cornbury, royal governor of New York and New Jersey. Cornbury was a first cousin of Queen Anne and prided himself on his physical resemblance to his cousin. Despite his eccentricities, Cornbury was a devout Anglican and was determined to make sure that Church of England services were held throughout his jurisdiction. At the beginning of the eighteenth century there seemed little potential for such services, but some Anglicans in the royal entourage saw possibilities. Lewis Morris, Anglican and future royal governor, commented that "Elizabethtown and Newark were people[d] from New England, are generally Independents [non-Anglicans] ... [but] there are some few Churchmen [Anglicans] ... settled among them."

At Cornbury's request, George Keith, an Anglican missionary, toured New Jersey. Keith noted in his journal that the Presbyterians did not have total hegemony. His entry of December nineteenth, 1703 read, "Many of that town [Elizabeth] having been formerly a sort of independents, are become well affected to the Church of England, and desire to have a minister of the Church of England sent to them." The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (S.P.G.) was the vehicle of the Church of England responsible for supplying clergy to the colonies. That organization sent a missionary, Edward Vaughan, to Elizabeth in 1729. In 1731 Vaughan wrote to the S.P.G., "My congregation increaseth not only in this town, but in the neighboring towns of Newark, Whippany [i.e. Hanover Township of which Madison was then a part], and the Mountains [the Oranges] where I visit and preach to a numerous assembly occasionally." He also reported that in the last two years he had baptized 556 children and 64 adults. In 1736 an Anglican missionary from Connecticut, John Beach, preached in Newark and attracted an audience of over three hundred, a huge crowd for those days.

The Anglican church was definitely making progress in the mid-eighteenth century, though people from Morris County had to rely on itinerant missionaries or travel to Trinity, Newark or St. John's, Elizabeth if they wanted to attend Anglican services. However, it is obvious that Morris County Anglicans were willing to travel, judging by the large crowds the S.P.G. missionaries attracted.

With the coming of the American Revolution, the Anglican Church in the colonies fell on hard times, especially in the north, because of its identification with royal government. Many Anglican parishes, including all but one in New Jersey, shut down completely.6 The achievement of independence for the United States created a real problem for the Anglican Church since it was now cut off from the Church of England. It could not very well continue as a constituent part of the Church of England, but it could not constitute itself as an independent Anglican Church either since it had no Episcopal hierarchy already in place. During the colonial period, Anglican parishes in America had been considered missionary posts under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London. For obvious reasons, such an arrangement was no longer feasible nor desirable. To establish itself as an independent church yet maintain apostolic continuity with the Church of England, the American church needed its own bishop. Consequently, the Rev. Samuel Seabury of Connecticut journeyed to England to seek consecration as a bishop. For reasons of canon law, as well as political expediency, no English bishop would participate in such a consecration. However, Seabury found three bishops of the non-juring Anglican Communion of Scotland * who were willing to consecrate him and they did so on November 14th, 1784 at Aberdeen.

The first General Convention of the Anglican churches in the United States met in Philadelphia in 1785. The middle and southern states were well represented, but the New England states refused to participate (largely because many outside New England questioned the validity of Seabury's consecration). Another difficulty was that New England tended to be conservative in doctrine and High Church, whereas the south tended be liberal and Low Church. (It should be stressed, however, that the terms High and Low are always relative.) In all these sectional disputes, New Jersey tended to side with New England. It took four years to iron out these disputes, but in 1789 the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America was officially organized. After considerable controversy, it was agreed that the Book of Common Prayer to be used was that of 1662 with the omission of the prayers for the Royal Family and the addition of prayers for the new government. The New Jersey delegates had been adamant in opposing any radical revision of the Prayer Book.

Although the Episcopal Church in New Jersey grew slowly, its Tory past still not forgotten, Episcopalians in Morris County were active. From the preaching missions of Keith, Vaughan, and Beach, the nucleus of an Anglican congregation in Morristown had been present since at least 1760. Although the official founding of St. Peter's, Morristown is listed as 1826, we know that there was a congregation in Morristown calling its St. Peter's as early as 1798. Episcopalians in Madison attended St. Peter's and it was as an offshoot of that congregation that Grace Church was eventually formed.

In 1815 the Diocese of New Jersey was formed with John Croes as its first bishop. The church grew slowly, sometimes even experiencing periods of decline. In 1830 there were thirty-three congregations in New Jersey, but by 1832 this was down to twenty-seven with only eighteen priests. Croes was succeeded in 1832 by George Washington Doane, under whose leadership the church experienced remarkable growth. By 1859, the final year of Doane's reign, there were eighty-five parishes in the state, one of which was Grace Church.

* The state church in Scotland, the Church of Scotland, is Presbyterian. The non-juring Anglicans were those who refused to change their allegiance from James II to William III in the revolution of 1688.

II. Formation of the Parish

The first Episcopal services held in Madison commenced sometime in the late 1840s and were led by the Rev. D. Clarkson. These were of a sporadic and temporary nature. There were apparently enough Episcopalians in the Madison area to warrant Bishop Doane's instructing the rector of St. Peter's Church, Morristown, Dr. Charles Rankin, to undertake a weekly preaching mission in Madison. Rankin made arrangements with the Madison Methodist Church to hold services (Evening Prayer with sermon) there every Tuesday evening. Services commenced December 17th, 1850, attended by "probably 100 individuals, some of them familiar with the service."

Since Dr. Rankin was noted for his High Church views, it would be well at this point to review briefly the partisan division in the Episcopal Church up to this point.

From the time the Church of England broke with the Papacy in 1534, there were tensions between those who wanted to retain Roman doctrine and practices and those who wanted to follow the direction of the Protestant Reformers. This tension was deliberately left unresolved by Elizabeth I in the interest of unity, hence the phrase via media, middle way. The position of the Anglican Church in the American colonies was such that circumstances forced it into a Low Church posture. Frontier conditions, a severe shortage of clergy, no bishop, and poor educational facilities inevitably led the church to rely heavily on

lay governance and to de-emphasize the sacraments - almost to the point where, except for Prayer Book use, it was indistinguishable from other Protestant denominations. The years during and immediately following the American Revolution found the church in such a precarious position that existing party differences were subordinated to the greater quest for survival.

It was in the period 1811-1843, when the church had regained a solid foothold in American society, that clear-cut party divisions began to appear. One group known as Hobart High Churchmen (named after the Bishop of New York, John Henry Hobart) emphasized personal devotion and Eucharistic worship and de-emphasized the need for a conversion experience. They also stressed the necessity of episcopacy and the institutional church and did not encourage cooperation with other denominations, emphasizing instead the uniqueness of Anglicanism. The other group, Evangelical or Low Churchmen, stressed the necessity of a personal conversion experience and de-emphasized the Eucharist. They felt that episcopacy was the preferable, but not essential, form of church government, and they tended to cooperate with evangelicals of other denominations.

Around 1843 the Oxford Movement emerged in England. Also known as the Tractarian Movement, this viewpoint moved much closer to a Roman Catholic theological position, certainly much "Higher” than, say, Hobart High Churchmanship. In time this new group began to be called Anglo-Catholic and advocated "the basic principle of Catholic tradition as the true interpreter of Scripture." They revived medieval liturgical customs and moved toward acceptance of some Roman Catholic doctrines. While the Oxford Movement certainly revitalized the church in some aspects, it also bitterly divided the church, both in Britain and America - a division that exists today. There was also some loss of membership at both ends of the theological spectrum. Some at the very High end eventually went to the Roman Catholic Church, while others at the Low end were so horrified at the "rampant Romanism" that they headed for other Protestant denominations such as the Methodist Church or, after 1873, the Reformed Episcopal Church.

The tendency in the Diocese of New Jersey was toward the new (Oxford) High Church position. Bishop Doane held High Church liturgical views, though he combined this with a strong evangelical element in his preaching. He was, however, accused by his enemies of "popery." Dr. Rankin of St. Peter's was strongly influenced by the Oxford Movement and was attracted to certain elements of Roman Catholicism, so much so that the evangelical contingent in his congregation seceded and formed a separate parish, the Church of the Redeemer, in 1852. We may assume that Rankin's High Church proclivities manifested themselves in Madison as well.

Rankin or his assistant, W.A.M. McVickar, preached every week in Madison and kept a journal of their activities that tells us much about the Madison group that eventually became Grace Church. Apparently, many of the people attending Rankin’s Evening Prayer services were not Episcopalians, since he noted on December 31st, 1850 that he had to explain to the congregation the advantages of Prayer Book worship "as contrasted with the usual extempore services of dissenters [i.e. non- Anglican Protestants]." The popularity of the Episcopal services, especially among the non-Episcopalians, rankled the long- established Protestant churches in town, the Presbyterian and the Methodist. In his entry for February 11th, 1851, Rankin commented:

The Presbyterians are pursuing the same course here that they did at Dover. They are holding protracted [revival] meetings with the hope of healing thereby their own differences and interfering with the services of the [Episcopal] Church. Having held undisputed possession for so long, they wonder at what they regard as the intrusion of the church and can find no other way to thwart her than by reviving their old system of excitement. We will see if it dies a natural death here as it did at Dover.

The following week Rankin reported, "I find that I am charged with the intention of breaking up the Presbyterian Congregation. The opposition is very strong, one is compelled to think, in the same proportion that the system they support is weak." Opposition increased and spread to the Methodists. Rankin blamed this on the Presbyterians who, he claimed, "have tried to prevail on the Methodists to refuse us their building and in every way sought to break up the [introduction?] of the church. But why do the people rage and the people imagine a vain, vain thing? The work will prosper if of God, if naught it ought to fail. This has been the most encouraging service I have yet held. All present seemed deeply interested and seemed to have come for some other object than curiosity."

Episcopal services were halted for a month because the Methodist revival meetings required the use of the building every night. Episcopal services were resumed on April 1st, though Rankin noted that attendance was down and attributed this to Presbyterian opposition."

Rankin's mission to Madison was notable for several reasons. It is in this period (1850-53) that we see the formal apparatus of a parish being set up: choir, Confirmation instruction, and Sunday School. We also see evidence of the active participation of blacks in the early life of Grace Church.

On April 29th, 1851, Rankin commented in his journal, apparently with some surprise, "Was pleased to find [a] colored girl familiar with prayer book. Some 6 or 7 of her companions were with her."12 Rankin was anxious to introduce more music to the services, not surprising in light of his High Church proclivities. It was the faithful contingent of black girls that provided the talent and enthusiasm. On May 6th, the priest noted the "colored girl in the gallery sang so well that I taught her Gloria in excelsis after service." On May 13th, he "instructed colored girls in chanting after service. They took to it [illegible] and found but little difficulty in the [illegible]."13 At the May twentieth service, the choir made its first public appearance. The "colored choir sang sweetly. They evidently enjoy the music." Over the spring and summer, the choir expanded its repertoire and Rankin noted constant improvement.

Blacks also took an active role in the early years of the parish. On July 29th, 1851, Rankin's assistant, McVickar, was somewhat surprised to be approached by a black communicant who expressed the need for an Episcopal parish in Madison. "After service was addressed by a colored woman named Mary Cox from Hyde Park (& had known our family there). She was Mr. [William] Gibbon's cook, had been confirmed by Bishop Hobart and was a communicant but, having no church nearby, had been attending the Methodist meetings." The black choir girls formed the first Sunday School class as Rankin and McVickar began to instruct them in the Catechism. Their instruction began with a visit to St. Peter's which "greatly interested" them.

A major first for the burgeoning Madison congregation was the upcoming visit by Bishop Doane. In preparation for this event, Rankin announced that he would begin Confirmation classes. The Bishop's visitation took place on October 7th, 1851 and eight people were confirmed including at least one black woman, Elisa Furman.

Other sacramental events of the church began to occur with regularity. On September 4th, 1851, Rankin officiated at the marriage of Johannes Oertel and Julia Torrey. On January 17th, 1852, he baptized the two youngest children of James and Mary Aspinwall, an English couple who were very active in the early parish. Their eldest child, age five, had died the night before. All three children had scarlet fever and the middle child died the following day. The Aspinwall children were the first recorded baptisms, but others followed in regular succession. On May 4th, 1852, Rankin baptized Lucas, son of William and Mary Sylvester, a black couple. The sponsors were Mary Cox, Elisa Furman and her husband. Rankin reported 'large attendance" at this service. On June 29th, another black child was baptized, identified only as the son of Mrs. Rex. Mary Cox again stood sponsor.

On November 2nd, 1851, Sunday afternoon services were begun, still held in the Methodist Church, and Tuesday night services were discontinued. The Sunday services were led by McVickar and he noted that attendance on Sunday was generally double that of Tuesday, which had been averaging around forty-five to fifty. On this date, also, the music program was placed under the charge of Johannes Oertel. The Sunday services, however, only lasted till April, 1852 when McVickar left St. Peter's. Tuesday evening services were then resumed.

Unfortunately, Rankin's diary ends on September 21st, 1852 as he was preparing for another Bishop's visitation. But we may assume that activities similar to the ones already described continued and increased as plans were laid to turn the Madison mission of St. Peter's into an independent parish. Toward this end, a Sunday School was begun under the leadership of Catherine Burgie. The Sunday School was organized on May 29th, 1853 and ran without interruption until it was absorbed into the new parish, at which time it included six teachers and twenty-eight students.

On September 23rd, 1854, a meeting was held at the home of Colonel Samuel Hunting, owner of the Bottle Hill Tavern, for the purpose of organizing an Episcopal parish in Madison. This was the beginning of Grace Church.

III. Early Years

For the first two months of its life, Grace Church was known as Zion Church, which was the name selected at the organizational meeting. Alfred M. Tredwell and John Gould were elected wardens. William W. Beach, Halsey Munson, Johannes Oertel, Francis S. Lathrop and Joseph A. Dean were elected to the vestry. The Rev. John A. Jerome of the Diocese of Massachusetts was called to be rector. He accepted and arrived within a fortnight. The first service was held on October 8th, 1854 at the Odd Fellows Hall at 7 Waverly Place, which remained the congregation's home until the church was built.

The transitional period was smooth and parish life proceeded without interruption. Bishop Doane visited the following week (October 15th) and confirmed five persons. On November 8th, Jerome began a Wednesday evening series of lectures. The first Eucharist was celebrated on November 12th and thirteen persons received the sacrament. On November twentieth, for reasons unknown, the name of the parish was changed to Grace Church, and was incorporated the following day under that name. Thirty-three families constituted the new congregation. Their social make-up indicates that Grace Church ministered to a wide cross-section of the community.

One of Grace Church's original members was a black man, Thomas Furman who, with his wife Elisa and seven children, played an active role in the parish for over twenty years. Margaret Quanto was another of the charter members, and another black family, the Sylvesters, joined in May 1855. The extensive participation of blacks in the life of the parish is one of the factors making the history of Grace Church unique.

The existence of black Episcopalians was not in itself unusual. It has been commonly assumed that, historically, blacks have been either Baptists or Methodists. But since colonial days there has been a small but significant black presence in the Anglican Church. Generally, however, black Episcopalians formed separate congregations, such as St. Philip's, New York City and St. Philip's, Newark from a desire to avoid second-class status in white-dominated churches and to run their own affairs. So, it is fair to say that the church at large was racially integrated, but individual congregations were not. This is what makes Grace Church so unusual. It was one of the very few Episcopal congregations where blacks played an active role in an integrated congregation.4 We have already seen, for example, the participation of blacks in the choir5 as well as their presence in Confirmation classes and the organization of the parish. This is all the more impressive since a black church already existed in Madison. So, presumably, those blacks attending Grace Church did so because they wanted to be Episcopalians, rather than for lack of any other congenial place to worship.

In fact, very cordial relations developed between Grace Church and this black congregation known as the African Union Church. In 1859, Grace Church vestryman Judge Francis Lathrop bought a lot on Kings Road and presented it to the black church, and also paid for the removal of their building to the new site. In 1870, this group joined the African Methodist Episcopal denomination. Their present building was built in 1885.

Another unusual feature of the early years of Grace Church was that a slaveholder was also one of the original members of the congregation. This was William Heyward Gibbons, only son of the William Gibbons who built the Gibbons Mansion which is now Mead Hall, the administration building of Drew University. The Gibbonses were Episcopalians and played an active role in the formation of Grace Church. The legend has persisted that the Gibbonses owned slaves who were housed in the low- ceilinged rooms in the basement of the mansion. This legend may have been promoted by the fact that the Gibbonses did own extensive holdings in Georgia, in which many slaves were located.

It is ironic that the home of one of Grace Church's first families is now identified with Methodism. More ironic is the fact that a slaveholder who identified with the south was able to worship in the same church as free blacks and work with them in a common cause.

One of the major concerns of the congregation meeting in Odd Fellows Hall was to secure a permanent home, and efforts were undertaken immediately. On November 9th, 1854, Judge Lathrop bought the plot of land where the church now stands from Augustus Blanchet for $1000 and donated it to the church. Construction began in the Spring of 1855. An interesting account of the building survives, written by an anonymous Presbyterian. This chronicler tells us that "the master builder was a Mr. Coulter of the City of New York - the head mason being Patrick Collum of this village." The laying of the cornerstone on June 7th, 1855 warranted a special ceremony "in the presence of about fifty persons, including workmen (the day being stormy) and Rev. Mr. Jerome conducted the service while Rev. Philemon B. Coe of Plainfield made the address, in the absence of the bishop who was expected."

This Presbyterian reporter did not take kindly to the Episcopal presence in Madison and remarked, contrary to the evidence, that "it has not in the least degree affected either our own church or that of our Methodist brethren." This person also echoed the stereotypical view of the Episcopal Church, noting that the Congregation was "backed up by the vast moneyed influence of the Gibbonses and Messrs. Lathrop, Dean, Treadwell, and Gould."

In the meantime, Grace Church went through its first change of rectors. Jerome's original call had been for a year. At the end of that year, he resigned to leave for a post in Pennsylvania. The vestry offered the post to Mr. Anthon of New York who declined. The vestry then called Samuel Randall of Pittsburgh, who accepted at a salary of $900 per year.

The church building was nearing completion at this point and the anonymous Presbyterian reporter tells a curious anecdote in this regard:

In putting up the stonework, the head mason who is a Roman Catholic put up in the front peak a large stone with a cross deeply cut in it - remarking that, as it was soon to come into the hands of the Catholics, he wanted to make the building so that it would then need no altering. The head carpenter seeing it went up to it with a large stone hammer and with one prodigious blow hurled the offending stone to the ground simply reminding the mason that it would be soon enough to put such a thing there when the plan called for it!

When completed, the building, including bell and organ, cost about $9000 and seated two hundred persons. There was also a

Sunday School classroom accommodating fifty.

The first service was held in the new church on April 13th, 1856, the day Samuel Randall began his rectorship. The building was consecrated by Bishop Doane on May eighteenth, 1857.There were no plans for a rectory yet and the early rectors generally rented homes in the vicinity.

Randall served as rector for six years. These years were uneventful in the life of the parish but provided the stability necessary for a new parish to grow. Randall died while conducting the Easter service on April twentieth, 1862. This unfortunate event plunged Grace Church into a new period of instability.

From a reading of the parish records and vestry minutes, one would never know that there was a national controversy over slavery or a Civil War. This reflects the position of the national church, but, of course, one must assume that, in fact, these events were of crucial importance to local residents and Grace Church members. The presence of blacks, not to mention the presence of the Gibbonses, would certainly suggest this. And surely it must have created quite a stir when William Gibbons went to fight for the Confederacy. There is also a legend that tunnels exist under the church which were part of the "Underground Railroad". They assisted escaped slaves from the south on their journey to Canada. There is no evidence to suggest the existence of such tunnels and, if they exist, they are skillfully concealed. Given the active presence of blacks and their benefactors such as Lathrop, such an activity would not be at all surprising. Nor would the vestry be expected to advertise it in their minutes, since harboring escaped slaves was a federal offense.

Grace Church's official silence on slavery followed the policy of the national Church. Unlike the Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists, the Episcopal Church never officially split during the slavery crisis and subsequent war. The southern dioceses did "secede" from the church, but the General Convention never acknowledged this rupture, and simply considered the missing dioceses as "absent." The wisdom of this policy was apparent after the war was over. Because they had never officially left, the "absent" brethren were welcomed back with no difficulty. In contrast, the northern and southern Methodists did not reunite until 1939, and the Presbyterians and Baptists still have northern and southern denominations to this day.

Following Randall's death, Grace Church had to search for a new rector. On June 16th, 1863 the vestry called Walter Windeyer of Newark and he accepted. Windeyer holds the unfortunate distinction of being the only Grace Church rector ever to be fired. Needless to say, his tenure was a stormy one.

Windeyer was a deacon at the time he was hired and it was over a year before he was ordained to the priesthood. He was hired at $400 per year, plus use of a rented parsonage and grounds valued at $800 per year. Sometime during his tenure, Windeyer purchased this home for himself from its owner, Augustus Blanchet. At the time, it was located adjacent to the church, but now can be found at 47 Madison Avenue, directly opposite the Drew gate. The purchase of this home suggests that Windeyer must have had a private income. At any rate, money seemed to be the main cause of his difficulties at Grace Church.

On November 26th, 1863, after being at Grace Church for a year and a half, Windeyer asked for and received a $200 increase in his yearly salary. It appears he was never satisfied and frequently complained about his pay. The great controversy that led to his dismissal began in 1866. The original circumstances are not clearly spelled out in the vestry minutes, but apparently Windeyer was not satisfied with his salary offer for 1866. In his report to the diocese on the state of the parish, Windeyer complained and his remarks appeared in the proceedings of the diocesan convention. He was quoted as saying, "The temporal interests of the Parish are not in a very prosperous condition. It is not for the lack of means but for the want of heart in the service of Christ."

The vestry was irate and Judge Lathrop wrote a letter of response which he had read into the vestry minutes:

The allegation is clear and emphatic ... I would respectfully ask if this published condemnation of a people by its Rector is discreet, charitable, or just? Can it possibly tend to improve the heart or increase their love and respect for the church?

The vestry concurred with Lathrop and also stated that Windeyer's report "will, on being known to some of the members of this Congregation heretofore contributing to the support of the church, prevent the raising of a reasonable salary for his support."

Windeyer tried to mend fences and wrote to the vestry on March 8th, 1866: "I desire to disclaim any intention to impute [the members of this congregation] any want of liberality or interest in the temporal affairs of the church. ... the real want of a more generous support to the church has been from the unwillingness on the part of its members to solicit from its friends outside the parish." This was an unusual form of apology, in which he blamed the members after denying he was blaming them. The suggestion that non-members should contribute to the church's support is also odd. Not surprisingly, this letter only made matters worse, and Windeyer was promptly visited by a deputation from the vestry. The purpose of their visit was explained by

Windeyer in his written reply:

In reply to the question put to me by Judge [PG.] Ellsworth and Mr. [Ellis] Potter as a deputation for the wardens and vestry of Grace Church whether I would be willing to release the vestry from the obligation of guaranteeing my salary for the present year, I beg to say that I consent if the vestry deem it best.

In other words, Windeyer would receive no regular salary but would get whatever was left over from revenues after expenses had been paid. The vestry also decided to terminate his contract at the end of the year.This was hardly the end of Windeyer's troubles, though.

In June, 1866, another dispute arose, again over money. A substitute priest had been preaching while Windeyer was out of town and his fee was deducted from Windeyer's "salary." There was some dispute over how many services the substitute had conducted. Windeyer claimed he owed the man only $20, but the parish treasurer, W. W. Beach, said the substitute was owed $45. The matter was referred to the finance committee, but was not resolved till after Windeyer was no longer rector.

With Windeyer's term of office drawing to a close, the vestry reported their decision to Bishop William Henry Odenheimer in a letter dated December 3rd, 1866:

The vestry desire that the engagement with Mr. Windeyer should be terminated without any unkind feeling on either side; They are confident that you can represent to Mr. Windeyer that the harmony and interests of the Parish require that he should no longer be the incumbent, and they have decided to ask your kind offices in this matter, desiring that you will make such a communication to him as will prevent any opposition on his part to the will of the vestry.

Ellis Potter Clerk of the Vestry

Though Windeyer's departure was a foregone conclusion at this point, he was not without defenders. Included in the vestry minutes is an unidentified newspaper clipping dated January 9th, 1867 which contains a statement from a dissenting group. Some members of the congregation felt that Windeyer had been ill-treated and they formed a committee to make known their views. Joseph E. Muchmore was the chairman. Other members included Albert P Carter, A. Lavalle, and John Magee. They drafted a statement which said,

1. That we, communicants and pew holders in Grace Church, Madison, feel constrained, from recent proceedings on the part of the wardens and a portion of the vestry of this church to express in this public manner our sincere sympathy with the Rev. Mr. Windeyer, whose work and labor of love amongst us have met with our entire approbation.

2. That the actions of the wardens and a portion of the vestry of this church in recent and unjust proceedings against the Minister of this Parish has our UNQUALIFIED DISAPPROBATION.

3. That we, the Congregation, do hereby request the wardens and vestrymen of Grace Church, Madison, TO RESIGN.

This was by no means the end of the matter, though. The question of the disputed $25 was still not resolved. Windeyer had apparently admitted that the $45 claim was correct, but now changed his mind again and said he should only be required to pay $20. The vestry was not amused. "The [Finance] Committee had hoped at this last meeting to have finally closed the accounts but Mr. Windeyer, having become excited and personal in his remarks, your committee retired, and they have no hope of being able to render any further assistance in adjusting the accounts." The matter was referred to an independent referee.

Fortunately for the young church, Windeyer was succeeded by one of Grace Church's most distinguished rectors, Dr. John Henry Hobart, Jr., youngest son and namesake of the bishop. Hobart had been filling in after Windeyer was dismissed and was offered the rectorship, which he accepted on February 21st, 1867.

Hobart was born in 1817 and graduated from Columbia University in 1836. He was ordained in 1841 by Bishop B.T. Onderdonk. He had served as assistant at Trinity, New York City from 1848 to 1863 and had come to Grace Church after serving as rector at Trinity, Fishkill, New York. Columbia had awarded him a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1856. He edited his father's works and wrote three of his own: Instruction and Encouragement for Lent 1859, Medievalism 1877, and Church Reform in Mexico 1877.

While at Grace Church, Hobart lived at his family homestead, Hobart Hill in Summit. His five year tenure was uneventful, but provided the parish with the calmness and stability it needed after the turmoil of the Windeyer years. On September 5th, 1871

Hobart informed the vestry of his intention to resign, effective October 1st. He had not intended to stay at Grace as long as he did, and found the commute from Summit an increasing chore. He felt that the church needed a resident rector and advised the vestry to build a rectory.

Hobart was succeeded by Abbott Brown of New York City. The vestry heeded Hobart's advice and began preparations to build a rectory. Brown was not to enjoy it, though, as he resigned on November 22nd, 1872. No reason for his resignation is given in the vestry minutes.

On April 23rd, 1873, Dr. Daniel C. Weston of Stratford, Connecticut was hired at a salary of $1500 per year. He and his wife resided in Summit until the rectory was finished. Weston took office the first Sunday in June, 1873.

The year 1873 was an important one for the national Church, as the increasing tension between High and Low factions culminated in a full-blown crisis. The years following the Civil War brought the most bitter conflict the Episcopal Church had yet seen, over Ritualism. The Ritualists were the younger and more extreme Anglo-Catholics who wanted to push further in a Roman Catholic direction. They held a view of the Eucharist that was essentially the same as that of the medieval Catholic Church (i.e. the Mass is a resacrifice of Christ offered by the priest in Christ's place) and they wished to express this theology in liturgical practices not sanctioned by the Book of Common Prayer. They also stress the uniqueness of Anglicanism (as compared with other Protestant denominations) and the apostolic succession. The Low Church party was not only appalled by such practices, but the more Evangelical among them were moving in the direction of closer contact with evangelicals of other denominations. Finally, in 1873 the extreme Low Church faction seceded from the church and founded the Reformed Episcopal Church. The following year's General Convention formulated a canon which restricted the practices of the Ritualists. But it was a restriction more honored in the breach than the observance, and was abandoned in 1903. In practice, the debate over these questions established a principle of ritual liberty which served well until the 1970s.

This schism does not seem to have greatly affected Grace Church, which in the nineteenth century followed the general High Church orientation of the Diocese of New Jersey. Bishop Doane had been called upon several occasions to defend his views against charges of "popery." Low Church priests often received rough treatment from their bishops. Though they were a majority in New Jersey, the Anglo-Catholic party was in the minority nationally. But they simply ignored the "anti-Romish" edicts of General Convention and continued their practices such as elevation of the elements and genuflections. At this time, religious orders were founded in Newark, Jersey City, and Mendham.

In 1874, the Diocese of New Jersey was split in two due to a rapidly growing population rather than any doctrinal differences. The northeast section carved out of the old diocese was called the Diocese of Northern New Jersey, while the other section retained the name, Diocese of New Jersey. William Henry Odenheimer, who had been Bishop of New Jersey since 1859, elected to continue with the northern section and became the first bishop of the new diocese, a position he held until 1880. In 1887, the Diocese of Northern New Jersey changed its name to the Diocese of Newark.

Grace Church was against splitting the Diocese of New Jersey and passed a resolution against it. Because of the building of the new rectory, the congregation felt it could not afford the higher quota necessary to support a new diocese.

In 1874, the rectory was completed and the Westons were the first family to reside in it. This building now comprises the parish offices, but at that time it was not connected to the church building. At this time, the membership totaled thirty-five families or 130 individuals. Also, we are told that Miss Julia Lovell conducted a "dame school" in the church during the week.

'Charity' stained glass window On November 1st, 1878, the rector resigned, citing the poor health of his wife and himself. The vestry, reluctant to lose him and concerned about the rapid turnover of rectors, offered to give Weston a year's leave of absence with full pay and use of the rectory if he would reconsider. Weston asked for time to think it over. A few days later he replied in the negative, saying that he appreciated the vestry's offer but felt it would put an undue financial burden on the parish. He did note, however, "If I was fifteen years younger, the case would be different." (The stained glass window "Charity" was given in memory of Weston's wife, Mary Catherine North, who died on August 4th, 1882.)

Robert Rogers of New York became the new rector on April 1st, 1879. His tenure was brief, too, as he resigned on October 21st, 1881. "Circumstances connected with the health of my family lead me to consider a change of residence desirable."

In the midst of the search for yet another rector, Francis Lathrop died. One of the original vestrymen, charter member, and generous benefactor, he more than anyone else was the man who symbolized Grace Church in its early years. His passing marked the end of an era in Grace Church's history - an era of building and consolidating, marked by participation of a wide segment of the community: black and white, abolitionist and slaveowner, society matron and tavern owner, recent immigrant and colonial heir. Lathrop's death in 1882 occurred just at the time when some of the nation's wealthiest families were moving into the Madison area, signalling a new era for Grace Church.

IV. The Era of Millionaires’ Hegemony

In the last two decades of the nineteenth century more than ninety millionaires, including some of the nation's wealthiest tycoons, moved to Morristown and neighboring towns. Many of these people were Episcopalians and some of them joined Grace Church, decisively changing the social complexion of the parish and inaugurating an era that lasted up until the end of World War II.

These families moved to Morris County because of its healthful climate, rural beauty, availability of large tracts of land, and the existence of a railroad which suddenly put New York within commuting distance. In Morris County they were able to re-create the life of English country squires. A vital part of such a life was, of course, involvement in the local Episcopal church.

Two of the most famous and wealthy of these families, the Twombleys and the Dodges, belonged to Grace Church, as did, later, the Scribners, Cutlers and Moores. The presence of such people had a decisive effect on the life of the parish. Their impact, though, had both positive and negative aspects. Certainly, these families were extremely generous to the church. Many of the additions and improvements to the physical plant could not have been made without their assistance.

Today, a number of parishioners remember this era as a time when Grace Church was "a private chapel for a few rich families." Another parishioner relates that she remembers how, when the parish needed money for some project, one of these wealthy members would simply give a tea and put out a silver bowl, into which the guests would deposit hundred-dollar bills (or thousand-dollar checks!). Although such fund-raising methods were effective and efficient, they did tend to cut down on community involvement. Such anecdotes illustrate vividly the characteristics of Grace Church in this period. Because these wealthy families were so generous, the church did not need to broaden its financial base with additional membership from the community at large. Consequently, the parish from the 1890s to World War ll tended to remain fairly constant in membership and rather inward-looking.

On June 9th, 1882, the rectorship was offered to William Egbert of Morristown. Egbert apparently took a relatively long time pondering this offer, as he did not decline it until September twentieth. His wife was in poor health and he did not want to move her. However, he consented to serve as priest-in-charge, as long as he could remain in his Morristown residence. This was agreed, and the Grace Church rectory was rented out. Egbert is listed in parish records as the (eighth) rector, but incorrectly. He never was rector, just priest-in-charge, albeit for a rather long time.3 0n May 22nd, 1884, Egbert resigned.

He was succeeded by Albert Tenney, who had previously served at Briar Cliff, NY and also as chaplain at Sing Sing Prison. Tenney accepted the call to Grace Church on September eighteenth, 1884 and resigned in April 1888.5 He was succeeded by Edwin E. Butler. Unfortunately, we do not know much about these years since many of the church records and vestry minutes were destroyed in a fire in a private house in 1904.

We do know, however, that one recurring problem in these years was an on-going dispute with Evergreen Cemetery in Morristown over a tract of land set aside for the use of Grace Church. The church claimed it owned the tract, which had been bequeathed by a parishioner, but the cemetery denied that the church held valid title to the land.

On October 29th, 1906, Butler resigned, effective January Ist, 1907, citing "nerve-trouble" in his face which had been plaguing him for six years.7 Butler was succeeded by Dr. Joseph N. Blanchard, who took office on February 1st, 1907. Blanchard had been born sometime around 1847 in Albany, New York. He graduated from Amherst College and Berkeley Divinity School, and was ordained in 1874. He came to Grace Church from Trinity, Boston. During his tenure at Boston, he was awarded the Doctor of Divinity degree by his alma mater, Amherst.

Shortly after Blanchard's arrival, the matter with Evergreen Cemetery was settled. The church gave up its claim to the Cobb- Lathrop tract in return for the right of any bona fide parishioner to be buried in the cemetery.

At this time, the vestry also considered a new method of fund-raising. The main source of the church's income was derived from pew rentals, a practice that continued up to the early 1950s, supplemented by the collections taken at the various services. In March, 1907, the vestry authorized moving to a pledge/envelope system. Three months later the results of the experiment were deemed to be "very encouraging" and the practice continued.

Grace Church in 1910 A considerable expense was incurred by the need to alter the chancel to accommodate the choir of men and boys which was organized in the latter months of 1906. Plans were drawn up to enlarge the chancel and the Sunday School wing as well. The estimated cost was $4000 which six of the parish's philanthropists agreed to underwrite. The six were Mrs. A.G. Evans, Hamilton Twombley, Dr. Leslie Ward, Charles Scribner, George Kip, and Richard Williams. In addition, Twombley donated land which he felt would “complete" the church grounds. The project was completed in October, 1907 at a

cost of $3987.02 - slightly under budget.

The largesse of these generous members also made possible an increase in the rector's salary from $1400 to $1600 in April, 1908, and the following month from $1600 to $1800.

With the establishment of a choir and the enlargement of the chancel, the vestry considered the time appropriate to move the organ from the gallery to the chancel, which would, of course, require further alterations in the church building. it was decided to construct a special room for the organ on the west side of the chancel, and at the same time make repairs to the church and rectory. Three months later the rector was able to report that $1469.95 had been paid or pledged toward the renovation. The entire project took almost three years. Mr. Schlatter, who had built the organ, was hired to oversee its relocation, and Louis C. Tiffany was hired to re-decorate the chancel. A generous and anonymous parishioner who "came [to church] regularly" offered to install twelve pews in the gallery at his own expense provided increased revenue be applied to the rector's salary.

The parish had hardly had time to admire or enjoy their beautiful new chancel when disaster struck in the form of a fire in January, 1912 which caused considerable damage to the altar. Tiffany graciously offered to redo the chancel at a cost of only $140.

Boys Choir in the 1930's Meanwhile the life of the parish proceeded. A boys' choir had been formed in November, 1906. By 1911, the inevitable occurred. "The rector reported that a number of the choir boys had recently been forced to sever their connections with the choir on account of their voices changing and it was resolved that he convey to them the thanks of the vestry for their faithful services." Fortunately, new recruits were found and the boys' choir continued, as it has to the present day. It is the oldest of the Grace Church choirs in years of continuous service.

In November, 1912, Dr. Blanchard checked into a New York hospital for an operation for an undisclosed ailment, but died suddenly on November 27th, 1912. The congregation and the town were stunned. His death was the lead story of that week's Madison Eagle and his photograph adorned its front page. In addition to the regular Episcopal funeral held at Grace Church, the Madison churches held a union memorial service at the Webb Chapel of the Presbyterian Church in which representatives of all the local churches participated.

The difficult search for a new rector began. The first and second choices for the position, a Mr. Bottom and H.P Nichols, both turned down the job. The position was then offered to Victor W. Mori, who accepted in September, 1913.

Mori was a young priest, only four years out of seminary, and he faced the prospect of ministering to a parish that included the nation's wealthiest tycoons and most imposing grande dames. Yet, he proved more than capable of meeting the challenge, and he remained at Grace Church for thirty-eight years and became an institution himself. A 1907 graduate of Columbia University, Mori then went on to General Theological Seminary and was ordained deacon in 1909 and priest in 1910. He had been serving as curate at St. Martin's in St. Martin's, Pennsylvania when he received the call to Grace Church. 0ne of the hallmarks of his tenure, as many have commented, was his ability to "handle” his millionaire parishioners. Certainly, these notables treated him very well, if their gifts are any indication of the esteem in which the rector was held. In 1925, "Mrs. Scribner and friends" sent Mori and his family on a three-month vacation abroad. And in 1930 the Dodges underwrote the building of a new (the present) rectory.

Victor Mori remained at Grace Church till his retirement in 1951, and put his imprint on an era of parish history. He led the parish through two world wars and a depression, though there is scant mention of these developments in the parish records. He knew, above all, how to relate to the wealthy families who dominated the era. Some of these families invariably looked upon the church as their private chapel. The choirs routinely went to sing at the Scribner and Twombley estates. The Twombleys also gave an annual Christmas dinner for the choir boys at which they were waited on by liveried servants. Not surprisingly, certain tensions did arise, though they were kept muted. Every parishioner interviewed who belonged to the church at that time, even those who were children then, commented that the class distinctions within the church were obvious. Likewise, the liturgy was rigid and formal and, except for the choirs, lay participation was negligible.

The tenure of Mori also saw the beginning of the Young People's Fellowship around 1929 and the development of the Boys' Choir as a major institution.The Boys' Choir had been in existence since 1906, but it achieved a revitalization in 1935 when Melville "Bucky" Coursen, Jr. was appointed choirmaster. Coursen's enthusiasm and leadership invigorated the choir and provided an exuberant contrast to the introverted nature of the rest of the parish. He opened the choir to boys of all denominations. This was a wise decision, since none of the other churches in town had a boys' choir. Coursen actively sought recruits all over town and besides expanding the choir and bringing in new talent, he also received a few converts to Episcopalianism. In contrast to the rest of parish life, the Boys' Choir was noted for its wide-open friendliness to all comers and its inner cohesion, aided by social outings and sporting events. Despite the fact that the boys gave Bucky a hard time on

occasion, he was able to instill in them a lifelong appreciation of music and the liturgy.

With the coming of World War II, parish life was certainly disrupted as seventy-seven men and women joined the armed services. During this time, many parish activities dwindled because of lack of numbers. It was largely through the efforts of Morgan and Helen Thomas that activities picked up during the mid and late 1940s. Morgan Thomas restarted the church school in 1943, and Helen Thomas began a church school choir in 1946. An acolyte guild and adult choir were also revived during this period. On September 11th, 1947, Mr. Thomas was appointed "Lay Assistant to the Rector" and played an increasingly important role in running the church as Mori approached retirement age.

In the years immediately following the war, though, it became apparent that the population explosion and the exodus to the suburbs was bringing Grace Church to a new era in its history.

V. The Era of Suburban Expansion

Change came to Grace Church in the post-war years for two reasons. Many of the tycoons of the previous era died or were too old or infirm to play a major role in parish life. Often their heirs did not keep up their estates. With the demise of this group and the loss of their financial contributions, the church was forced to expand its financial base and actively seek new members. Fortunately, this was made feasible by the rapid rise in population, as the post-war baby boom and financial prosperity brought many new people (especially young couples just starting families) to suburbs like Madison.

This new era for Grace Church was symbolized by the retirement of Mori in 1951 and the installation of his successor, William L. Nieman. Nieman, a graduate of Bard College and The General Theological Seminary, had been ordained deacon and priest in 1939. He was serving as rector of St. John's, Bernardsville at the time of his call to Grace Church.

The rapid rise in population is indicated by a church census in 1952 which indicated 100 members and/or regular attendants. Most significantly, with the influx of young families, there were eighty-five children between the ages of one and three, forty-five between the ages of four and five, and forty between the ages of six and seven. If nothing else, this indicated the need to immediately enlarge the Sunday School.

Almost immediately after his arrival, Nieman faced a minor crisis regarding the organist, Durwood Reese. Reese had been "specifically instructed in his duties" but was not playing for the ten to fifteen minutes before the 11:00 service began, even after the vestry repeated the request. A month later (May 1952) it was noted that the "organist had not fully complied with the past requests concerning his duties." Such behavior was unacceptable to a church that prided itself on its tradition of fine music, and the vestry began to look for other candidates. At the next vestry meeting Reese was given three months notice and Marino Nardelli was hired to replace him.

Pews were still being rented as late as 1953, but the vestry debated the efficacy and appropriateness of this system in January 1953 and shortly thereafter discontinued the practice. Another manifestation of changing times and attitudes was the limiting of wardens and vestrymen to two consecutive terms. Such a change had to be approved by the annual congregational meeting, which was on April 23rd, 1953 by a vote of 32 to 11.5

The rapid membership increase created a need for additional clergy. Seminarians from General had been assisting part-time since Nieman's arrival, but by 1954 the vestry recognized the need for a full-time curate since "this problem [the rector's workload] would probably grow acute within a year or two.6 The parish head-count of 1956 showed 456 families or 1150 individuals as members. The expanded parish was also outgrowing the existing building and a major expansion project was begun in 1957 which took almost two years to complete.

In 1957, in the aftermath of the Hungarian uprising, a tradition of sponsoring refugee families began. A committee was formed to aid Hungarian refugees, and the church sponsored a mother and son who were soon settled in Madison.

The turbulent sixties did not leave Grace Church unaffected. In 1962 the parish sponsored another refugee family, this time from Cuba.

The burgeoning civil rights movement occasioned much discussion in the parish halls. The presence of a black community in Madison, as well as the universities, diminished the likelihood that Grace Church could be a passive observer in these events. On July 23rd, 1963 the rector reported that "civil rights picketing might take place in the Borough in connection with housing, and that a meeting was being called to consider the matter, to which representatives of the local churches were requested to be sent. It was the consensus of the vestry that the rector, if he deems it advisable, select one or more persons to attend the meeting as observers."

It was not housing, however, but haircuts that brought Madison to national attention in the spring of 1964. When a black man was refused service in a local barbershop (on the grounds that the white barber did not know how to cut black hair), Drew students and others began picketing the barbershop. It was not long before national television networks sent their cameras and the "barbershop incident" was in full bloom. There was pressure exerted on Grace Church to take some official stance, but action came from Drew students. The Drew civil rights group which had been using meeting rooms in Grace was the subject of an extensive discussion at a vestry meeting:

The rector explained that he had withdrawn permission for the Drew University civil rights group to meet in the Canterbury Room of the Old Rectory, because of the parish's corporate status, and the possible legal responsibility involved. A meeting of community leaders at Grace Church to discuss the civil rights issue was called for Monday, April twentieth, 1964. Reporting on this meeting, Mr. [John] Akers mentioned the serious implications of the current civil rights situation in Madison. He suggested the vestry members consider the issue carefully and outlined the problems that could arise following the outcome of a second general meeting to take place at Grace Church on Monday, April 27th, 1964. It was explained that the April twentieth meeting was called with the idea that all community leaders and organizations be invited to participate in discussion of the civil rights issue as it affects Madison, rather than have the matter rest in the hands of a student group possibly lacking the maturity to proceed wisely and rationally. Mr. [Ernest] Waters said the Chancellor of the Diocese has advised that it would be difficult for the parish to be held responsible for any illegal actions of groups or individuals meeting on church property.

The following week the vestry met again and had "an extended discussion regarding the civil rights activities in connection with the local barbershops." The result was the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: "that the rector, wardens and vestrymen of Grace Church, Madison, support the principle of non-discrimination because of race, creed or color in public business.

Grace Church's ministry to local college students was greatly facilitated with the purchase of the Fog property adjacent to the church on January 30th, 1966. The house was renamed Hayes House in honor of Miss Antoinette Hayes whose bequest provided the funds for the purchase.

In the late sixties the Vietnam War joined civil rights as one of the controversial issues facing American society. As in the barbershop crisis, Grace Church pursued a cautious path, respecting honest differences among parishioners, yet protecting parishioners from the appeals of outside groups while on church property.

Another issue of the turbulent sixties, reflected in the vestry minutes, involved the Black Panthers and the national church's seemingly favorable action toward that group.

Mr. [Covington] Shackleford noted that the Church of the Redeemer, Morristown, will present a convention resolution opposing the allotment of $7000 by the National Council of the Episcopal Church toward distribution of the Black Panther film, "Huey," because this organization has advocated the use of violence and hate in the civil rights movement. After a brief discussion, the rector said Bishop Stark will be asked to comment on the matter in his annual message to the Diocese.

The seventies brought the end of another era to Grace Church's history. Nieman celebrated twenty-five years at Grace Church in 1976. The following spring, on March 26th, 1977, he resigned because of ill-health.

After a long search, Hayward L. Levy was named rector on October eighteenth, 1977. A graduate of the University of Florida, Levy held a Master's degree in clinical psychology from Florida State University and a Master of Divinity degree from The General Theological Seminary. He had been ordained in the Diocese of Newark in 1962, and had served as rector of St. Peter's Church, Mountain Lakes and St. Bartholomew's Church, Ho-Ho-Kus, before his institution as rector of Grace Church on December 4th, 1977.

The eight years of Fr. Levy's tenure saw activity on a number of fronts. A long standing difficulty, the lack of a cemetery, was resolved with the design and construction of a memorial garden and columbarium, with space for the interment of six hundred urns. New groups such as the Fellowship of Grace and the People Care Visiting Committee were organized and the long defunct Men's Club was revitalized. Another Grace Church tradition was extended when the parish sponsored the resettlement of a Laotian refugee family of five in December, 1979. Other innovations included the adoption of proportional giving as a standard of stewardship and the incorporation of the Grace Counseling Center as a major community outreach project. Theme: Religion Significance: Grace Episcopal Church holds both social, religious, artistic and architectural significance; therefore, it is recommended eligible for listing for the National Register.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The United Methodist Church of Madison, New Jersey is a brick church built in the Romanesque Revival style in 1870-1871. It is located at 24 Madison Avenue directly adjacent to the southeast comer of the campus of Drew University.

John McClintock, an eminent Methodist minister and scholar and member of the fund's implementation committee, convinced wealthy New York tycoon Daniel Drew to give impetus to the project by providing $500,000 for the first Methodist seminary in the Mid-Atlantic States. Part of that money was used in 1867 to acquire the unoccupied William Gibbons estate in Madison to serve as the site for the new seminary.

Drew then offered a one-acre plot of land adjacent to the new seminary to Madison's Methodist congregation as a site for a new church. They were delighted to accept the offer. The minutes of the subsequent meeting of the congregation on November 20, 1867 report that "The greatest harmony prevailed. All seemed of one mind and were ready to express their gratitude at this providential offering." McClintock, who, at Drew's urging, became the seminary's first president, offered an additional $20,000 for the church building fund. In addition, New York architect Stephen Decatur Hatch who had been engaged to plan the first new buildings on the seminary grounds was hired by the church's building committee to provide the specifications for and oversee the building of the church.

By the late 1860's, the Methodists had become convinced of the importance of building better churches. The deed transferring the land from Daniel and Roxanna Drew to the trustees of the Madison Methodist Episcopal Church as it was then known was dated November 14, 1868 and recorded in the office of the Morris County Clerk on August 5, 1869. About one acre in size, the lot fronted the Morris and Elizabethtown Turnpike and was directly adjacent to the seminary property.

Stephen Decatur Hatch (1839-1894) was a prominent New York architect in the second half of the nineteenth century. His commissions there included the New York Life Insurance Building, the Fleming Smith warehouse, the Appleton Century Croft Building, and Gilsey House. Given the widespread enthusiasm for the Romanesque Revival style at the time, it is not surprising that Hatch recommended it to his Madison clients. The church he designed for them is similar to the Methodist church he was just completing in Morristown. While more modest than Hatch's Morristown church, his church for the Madison congregation is a coherent and well-executed example of the Romanesque Revival style.

The cornerstone for the new church building was laid in 1866 and was dedicated on May 20, 1871. In the years since it was built, there have been two additions. In 1890, a chapel was added to the rear of the church; and in 1952-53, an educational

wing was added, to the rear of the chapel, to provide additional classroom space for a growing Sunday school. While there have been many renovations in the church's history, the most significant was undertaken in 1924, resulting in some alterations to both the principal facade and to the sanctuary and the installation of new stained glass windows. Theme: Religion Significance: The Methodist Episcopal Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C. Under Criteria A, the Church is significant in the area of religious history as an example of American Methodists attempting to modernize and meet the demands of an increasingly sophisticated congregation by the mid to late nineteenth century. It is also significant under Criteria C as an well-executed example of the Romanesque Revival style applied to church architecture. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This house first appears on the 1887 map.

General pattern-book prototypes for a house of this kind can be found in the publications by designers like Samuel Sloan and William Ranlett. A more elaborated version of the same house is seen in the engraving of the Thebaud residence (demolished). Theme: Significance: The simplest kind of small Italianate villa that began appearing locally in the 1850s, the Saxe House is a somewhat late example; a fact emphasized by its thin, stick-like detailing and sharply projecting outlines, more typical of the 1870s, when it was probably built.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: By the 1930s, Drew Theological Seminary had become a University. In an attempt to stimulate endowments from alumni and others, a plan was initiated to carry the campus into the twentieth century. Unfortunately, the plan required that most of the old campus buildings be destroyed. Only Mead Hall, Brothers College, the Samuel Browne Refectory, Embury Hall (1834) and Asbury Hall (1834) would remain standing. (Embury and Asbury Halls still stand today and were outbuildings associated with the Gibbons Mansion, but each building has undergone such serious alterations as to make them probably ineligible for the Register.)

The architect for this massive reconstruction, Charles Z. Klauder of Philadelphia, evidently recognized the overwhelming importance of Mead Hall, as his library adjacent to the mansion projects an exterior almost identical to that of Mead Hall. The interior, however, was totally modern. This rectangular two-story library, linked to Mead Hall by a breezeway, has a front wooden portico with twelve Ionic columns, is constructed of brick and has a brownstone foundation. The exterior details painstakingly reproduce those of Mead Hall.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Built between 1833 and 1836, Mead Hall was originally the mansion house of William Gibbons. Born in Savannah, Gibbons relocated permanently to New Jersey in the 1830s. His fortune derived from massive land and plantation holdings in the south, and he owned one of the most important steamboat businesses on the east coast. The Gibbons family moved into the mansion in the spring of 1836. Gibbons’ son, William Heyward Gibbons, inherited the estate following his father’s death in 1852. Financially ruined by the Civil War, William Gibbons placed the estate on the market in 1867, and much of its contents were purchased by Daniel Drew (Karschner 1976).

Daniel Drew acquired the estate for the expressed purpose of creating the Drew Theological Seminary. Drew was a self-made capitalist deeply devoted to Methodism. The Drew Theological Seminary centered around the Gibbons Mansion, then renamed Mead Hall in honor of Drew’s wife, Roxanna Mead. Mead Hall functioned as Seminary classrooms and housing for professors (Karschner 1976).

Continual changes occurred to the campus as the Seminary grew and transformed into a University by 1928. In the 1930s, the Rose Library, designed by Philadelphia architect Charles Klauder, was added to the east of Mead Hall. Klauder conceived the library’s exterior as resembling the Greek Revival style of Mead Hall (Karschner 1976).

In 1976, Mead Hall was listed on the New Jersey and National Register. Following a fire in August 1989, the building endured a three-year extensive historical restoration and was rededicated in December of 1992 (Brief History of Mead Hall). Theme: Education Significance: Mead Hall is perhaps New Jersey's most pretentious Greek Revival edifice. Its overall dimensions and quality are unsurpassed in the state for a private residence built in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Alan Gowans in his book Architecture in New Jersey states that "New Jersey does not and never did have anything like the number of small temple- houses that dot the landscape of western New York, northwestern Pennsylvania, or northern Ohio; but it can show some fine examples of Greek Revival houses nonetheless. This mansion built by William Gibbons between 1833 and 1836 was one of the finest...Architecturally it is Southern...with the typical two-story portico without pediment and generous (even lavish) proportions - a kind of stage for upper-class social and political life" (Gowans 1964:58).

Today, Mead Hall stands almost alone in New Jersey as a southern plantation-style house constructed in the north because of the preferences of its owner. While its basic southern proportions are clear, Mead Hall is nonetheless restrained in its detail,

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Local sources connect this building to the Lathrops, but the 1853-1887 map sequence identifies its owners as Muchmore, Boream and Kennelley. Theme: Architecture Significance: Its vernacular Romantic Revival motifs connect it with Wisteria Lodge (1417-0066, demolished in 1988 for a subdivision), suggesting it may have been remodeled at about the time Wisteria Lodge was built. The integrity of its ornamentation makes it a rare survivor in Morris County of the picturesque cottages of the 1880s. Though the ornamentation remains, major features of the house including its exterior, windows and roof have been modernized with replacement materials, rendering this house no longer eligible for listing in the National Register.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Wisteria Lodge was constructed c. 1987 by Francis Stebbons Lathrop.

Excerpt from "Lathrop Family History" by Stephanie Potash in 1988.

"Lathrop participated in many of the affairs of the state. He was appointed by associate Judge of the Court of Errors and Appeals by both Governors Randolph and Bedle; he helped to establish New Jersey's first Riparian Commission; he served as Director of the Morris and Essex Railroad and was appointed Receiver of the Jersey Central Railroad. He served as president of the Board of Managers for the State Asylum of the Insane (known as Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital).

Locally, Lathrop brought the rose industry to Madison by raising and selling roses commercially. He purchased the county's first railroad commutation between Madison =and Newark, New Jersey. He was instrumental in planning the present-day layout of Madison by purchasing large lots of land in the downtown area with the stipulation that the road remain widened; today it is called Waverly Place and is the focal point of the downtown area. Lathrop also helped to establish Grace Episcopal Church and donated land for the Bethel A.M.E. Church in Madison (1417-0052).

Wisteria Lodge was built by Francis Stebbons Lathrop for his only son, Frank. The estate is [was] the only existing memorial today for a man whose "…popularity was unmistakable, and was as firmly fixed in objective way as was his integrity of character in the subjective. It is all but natural to infer that Judge Lathrop was imbued with a deep and abiding public spirit, for all that was of human interest and value appealed strongly to him. He was not only zealous in forwarding the progress and prosperity of his home, city, and country, but his ken broadened out to include and appreciate all that concerned the welfare of the state and nation."

Frank Lathrop, married Isabelle Gibbons, daughter of William Gibbons, owner of "The Forest" (see survey# 1417-0023). Father and son died within a year of one another (1882 and 1881 respectively).

Wisteria Lodge was a c. 1857 Downingesque Gothic Ornee cottage. It was 2 ½ stories with a three-bay Center Hall plan and cut fieldstone foundation and clapboard exterior. The windows were cross sash casements with rectangular panes. The slate, center cross-gabled roof had two sets of paired end chimneys.

The house was described in 1986 as having a "wide roof overhang supported by large “inchworm” brackets, Gothic hoodmolds over windows cross-gable balconies with wooden pointed-arch railings; triple round-headed arches windows on second floor. Double front and back doors, round-headed arch with wooden louvered fan. French windows with original shutters open to west and south cast-iron porches with wood parasol roofs, house built on rear-sloping bank, with full walk-out basements; narrow porch above with Gothic railing and clustered colonettes. Kitchen located in basement. Rear two stories same as façade except casement windows rather than large French windows.

Seven and two tenths park-like acres are bounded on the Route 24 side by a fieldstone wall matching the foundation of the house. Outbuildings include a stone cold room at rear north side at right angle to kitchen. On center south side of property stands a Downingesque 1 1/2 story board and batten laborer’s cottage with rear one story "L" on east side. First floor working porch at rear with walk in basement door below. Stone foundation, two brick chimneys. Two story stable in poor condition at south east corner of property and 1920's three-car garage."

It was demolished in 1988. Theme: Significance: Acroterion reads that: "Wisteria Lodge, its grounds and auxiliary buildings, constitute one of the two finest surviving Romantic Revival estate ensembles in Morris County (the other is Fosterfields). All of the buildings survive in a remarkably fine state of architectural integrity, with an unusually appropriate landscape setting for such a densely populated municipality."

Taken together, this property and the neighboring and historically associated Muchmore House (1417-0064) constitute one of the most architecturally significant properties in the county.

It received a SHPO Opinion in 1990 for its significance in architecture. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Situated atop a hill on a large property. A curved drive leads to the house from Madison Avenue. To the east of the house is a new retirement home on the site of the original carriage house. To the west of the house is a pergola and gardens. Surrounding Environment: Wood, Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Also known as Bayley Ellard Regional High School, Cecilhurst is sited on the former "Bellwood Estate," owned by George H. Danforth c. 1876. That earlier building, designed by Richard Morris Hunt, was subsequently owned or rented by F. A. Bell, Adolph de Bary and Hamilton Twombley before its destruction by fire in 1912.

The existing building was erected following the fire for Leland H. Roth. Designed by architects Behr and Smith, the house was part of a larger estate that in 1986 included a pool complex and carriage house.

The property was acquired by the Diocese of Paterson and adapted for use as the Bayley Ellard Regional High School, opening in 1946. The school closed in 2005.

The carriage house was extant until 2003, when it was demolished for construction of the Sunrise Assisted Living Complex. An in-ground pool that was on the property was filled in.

The building is now known as St. Paul's Inside the Walls, which is operated by the Diocese of Paterson. Theme: Architecture Significance: Cecilhurst is recommended eligible for listing in the National Register. The loss of the pool and carriage house diminishes the integrity of the property as a whole; however, the main house still retains much of its original fabric and is among the few surviving houses associated with Madison's "Millionaire's Row."

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Farleigh Dickinson University’s Hennessy Hall was formally the mansion of the Twombly estate. Hamilton Twombly was the son of a shipping merchant who inherited a major ownership in both the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Co. and its subsidiary, the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Western Railroad. Twombly made the majority of his fortune through investments in the production of sulfur (Johnston 1994). His wife, Florence, was a Vanderbilt.

In 1887, Twombly purchased 180 acres of George H. Danforth’s estate in Morris County, New Jersey. He continued to buy up as much of the farmland in the vicinity until he acquired what he thought was sufficient land to construct everything his family desired. By 1890, he purchased a total of 1200 acres of land from 37 different people (Johnston 1994). Initially, the Danforth House was to be altered. Frederick Law Olmstead Sr., who was commissioned to do the site plan for the development of the grounds, urged Twombly to reconsider. Olmstead proposed constructing a new house on the hill on the other side of the railroad.

The estate was called Florham, a combination of the first three and four letters of Mr. and Mrs. Twombly’s first names. The architecture firm of McKim, Mead and White modeled the new 110-room mansion after the Christopher Wren-designed addition to Henry VII’s Hampton Court Palace (Johnston 1994). It took three years and two million dollars to construct. The Twomblys used the residence as a place of relaxation and entertainment. The estate remained in the Twombly family until 1956, when Hamilton’s daughter Ruth died. In 1958, Farleigh Dickinson University purchased the mansion and the surrounding 180 acres with the intent of developing the property into a college campus (Johnston 1994). Today, the mansion is now known on campus as Hennessy Hall and contains classrooms and administrative offices for the faculty. Theme: Architecture Significance: Florham is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, with the mansion building serving as a contributing part of the Twombly Estate. It is eligible under Criteria A and C as the work of McKim, Mead and White. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

The land east of the house has been subdivided and contains four houses. Bounded by Madison Avenue to the north, Twombly Lane to the east, Kitchell Road to the west and residential properties to the south. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Enos Wilder (1844-1915) graduated Harvard (Class of 1865) and five years later formed the New York City firm of Carter, Wilder and Co., a mercantile/commission house. Wilder also served as US Consul at Buenos Aires and as President of the Franklin Bank Note Company. He served on the first common council of Madison.

According to the Madison Eagle, the Wilder house was built on land known as the Peach Orchard to designs of Boring and Tilton.

Boring and Tilton formed their partnership in 1890, making this residence one of their first commissions. In 1900 they were awarded a Gold Medal at the Paris Exposition for their recently completed immigration station at Ellis Island. William Alchiphiron Boring (1859-1937) was professor of architecture, and later Dean, at Columbia University School of Architecture from 1915-1933. Edward Lipincott Tilton (1861-1933) had apprenticed at McKim, Mead and White and later became known as one of the foremost library architects of his day; the Morristown-Morris Township Library is among Boring and Tilton's commissions.

In 1986, Acroterion reported that the house was completely gutted with only a shell remaining. The owners were then in possession of the original Boring and Tilton rendering of the building. It now serves as office space. Theme: Architecture Significance: Although the Enos Wilder House is the work of a prominent architectural firm, the substantial loss of architectual integrity render this house ineligible for listing in the National Register.

Garage was likely originally a carriage house or something similar. Bounded by North Oak Court to the west and residential properties to the east, north and south. Surrounding Environment: Suburban, Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This house appears to be two dwellings joined together. The 1887 Morris County atlas depicts a T-plan house facing Madison Avenue and belonging to Theodore Macknet. On the basis of the opulently carved woodwork of the existing parlor, a major renovation likely occurred c.1895.

The Acroterion survey reported a good deal of conflicting evidence surrounding this house, with local informants claiming that it was part of a larger residence. More research is recommended. Theme: Significance: Although this house has interesting and intact Italianate details, it is not among the finest examples of the Italianate style in Madison.

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Situated within James Park, carries foot traffic high above from Park Avenue and Ridgedale Avenue across the railroad right- of-way to Madison Avenue. Surrounding Environment: Park, Wooded

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Ridgedale Avenue Footbridge was constructed in 1916 by Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&WRR) engineers. It was built as a part of a grade separation project in Madison. As the NJ Transit Historic Railroad Bridge Survey points out, unlike other grade separation projects, the one in Madison observed an absence of political and financial disputes that were typical between civic authorizes and railroads (DeLeuw, Cather and Co. 1991). The entire project was completed between 1914 and 1916, using concrete for most of the bridges. The bridge retains its original use and is currently owned by New Jersey Transit. Theme: Transportation Significance: The bridge is eligible for the National Register individually and as a contributing feature of the Old Main Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Historic District (1417-0108). It is eligible under Criterion A, for its association to Old Main Line Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad’s grade separation campaign in Madison during the early twentieth century, and under Criterion C, for its associations with the evolution of concrete design in reconstruction projects by the Railroad.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Excerpt from the National Register nomination (1979):

The Sayre House was constructed in 1745 by Daniel Sayre from South Hampton, Long Island and resembles typical modest colonial dwellings on Long Island. Local legend suggest that the house was the headquarters of General Anthony Wayne during one of the winter encampments of the Revolutionary Army in Morristown.

The Sayre House played another role in the Revolution. The Rev. James Caldwell of Elizabethtown and Springfield, a fiery patriot and leader, was a close friend of Ephraim Sayre, the owner of the house. It is said that he often preached rebellion to the troops from this house. Even without its Revolutionary history, the Sayre House should be preserved as a relic of early settlement. It was one of the earliest houses built in Madison (then Bottle Hill) and is one of the two oldest still standing. It is a well-preserved and relatively unaltered example of early eighteenth-century architecture. Most of the books and articles which mention Anthony Wayne’s stay in the Sayre House do not give primary sources. However, there is an article published in 1871 in the Historical Magazine which does give an eye-witness account. Samuel Tuttle was a local historian who before 1855 had collected anecdotes from people who had been children in Madison at the time of the Revolution. He wrote these down in 1855 as the text for a Fourth of July speech. This text was published in 1871 by his brother. The Madison Historical Society has the original manuscript.

Tuttle spoke with Ephraim Sayre's daughter Sarah Sayre Richards, who was eight years old in 1780. He relates the following: "1780-81, General Wayne's headquarters at the time were in the house of Deacon Ephraim Sayre in this village. That house is still standing and is occupied by Deacon Sayre's daughters. The General's lifeguards were stationed in the kitchen in the rear of the main house while the room occupied by the General was the front room on the North end of the house. A small mulatto servant accompanied him to wait upon him and in order to encourage in him the martial spirit he was fully armed and equipped with a keen wooden sword, which the boy of course took great pride in flourishing on all proper occasions. Sarah Richards goes on to say that armed sentinels constantly patrolled back and forth in front of the house and that the winter storms were so intense that they often had to be relieved every hour. She also tells of seeing the army on its way from Chatham to Kimball's Hill on December 13, 1779. There were tents along the road and smoke from fires. A large number of officers ate breakfast at the Sayre house. There were 6 or 7 sittings. She says that Caldwell often stayed in the Sayre House and preached in the south front room during the Revolution." Some authors since about 1900 have assumed that installed a plaque on the house using this date. Tuttle's article is the earliest known account, and it places Wayne here in the winter of 1780-81.

According to local tradition, this house was later a stop on the Underground Railroad. The presence of an underground space has raised questions as to its original purpose and its use through the years, and historians have tried to ascertain whether this home and its homeowners participated in the then-illegal endeavor of harboring runaway slaves. Some historians believe it to be simply a cold cellar, while others acknowledge that since the occupants during the relevant era were known to have been abolitionists, the owners may well have offered their services to the cause. An 1875 obituary for Dr. John Grimes, a known stationmaster on the Underground Railroad in what is now Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, claimed that a member of the Sayre family was the one who passed on the slaves to Dr. Grimes. As yet, evidence has not emerged either to confirm or deny this Theme: Social History Significance: The Sayre House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 under Criteria A and C. It is significant for its associations with numerous figures in the American Revolution and as one of the oldest extant houses in Madison (Bottle Hill).

It is key contributing feature to the Bottle Hill Historic District and the Ridgedale Avenue Streetscape (1417-0133, 1417-0134). Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided Located near the intersection of Ridgedale Avenue and Burnet Road. Though surrounded by a modern subdivision, the house sits on the commanding high terraced site of the original estate. The original layout was still indicated by its driveways and paths, but the 2007 owner re-cut the driveway, to remind him of his home state of Arkansas. The house is invisible from its surroundings due in part to its many mature trees. At the rear of the house is a c. 1920 playhouse.

Large stone gateposts with caps that read ESS-A-KAY are at the front of the driveway. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: According an interview with the homeowner in 2007, only two families have owned the house in the last 70 years, the Kitchells and the Mulfords. Mr. Mulford was a mustard/spice dealer, and the unusual shape of the interior front porch ceiling gives some credence to a story that the porch was actually a salvaged boat bow. The Mulford family had peas, which they sold to New York City restaurants, but the plants had become invasive. There were 14 rows of peas in the garden at one point. There was a bell tower visible in a c. 1901 photograph, but it was hit by lightening. Due to the high cost of restoring the bell tower (approximately $46,000 in 2007), it will likely never be rebuilt.

The house was in near ruinous condition, infested with cave crickets, pigeons and termites, in the 1990s until the present owners restored it to its current condition. Restorations included pulling up replacement flooring in the dining room, which revealed a wood floor with two different parquetry patterns, and removal of plate windows. They have covered the original, fragile plaster walls with sheet rock for the sake of preservation. The plaster ceilings have been replaced; reportedly, a past owner would pay his children 10 cent for every nail they found that fell from the ceiling. The dining room ceiling is covered with hand painted wallpaper with late nineteenth century motifs, which were created by a local artisan.

On the exterior, the balustrade was replaced, which was present in 1901.

The 1920s playhouse on the property has been restored too and features a new roof, which was non-existent by the 1990s. Theme: Significance: The A.E. Kitchell House was not accessible during the current survey; however, it is recommended possibly eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C, based on information and photographs of the house from 2007. More research and outreach is recommended to better document and access the eligibility of the house. Integrity Threat to Resource NR Eligibility Criterion A B C D

Siting and Related Structures: Subdivided House sited close to the street on small property on a rise with stone steps leading from the street. Faces a modern cul-de- sac which turns quickly into busy intersection on Route 24. A garage is in the rear. Bounded by John Marshall Lane to the south and twentieth century residential properties to the north, west and east. Surrounding Environment: Residential

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Local tradition says that the earliest section of the house is a very early eighteenth- century dwelling moved up the hill to this site. The 1853 Lightfoot map shows a house at this location associated with the Genung Family. Theme: Significance: This house may have significance if it indeed has eighteenth century roots.

In 1986, the house was "sited on a rear sloping lot approximately 100 by 100. It [was] still on a lot that has residential plantings including two 5" diameter silver maples." Route 24 to the south and John Avenue to the west. Surrounding Environment: Residential/Commercial

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The C.A. Bruen House was demolished between 2002 and 2006. Built c.1850, it was a vernacular Italianate/Gothic Revival cottage with a clapboard exterior and a gable roof. The house was 1 ½ stories and had three bays in a rectangular block with a center hall plan. The foundation was stuccoed and there were two brick end chimneys and 4/4 sash windows.

Acroterion described the house as " A compact, tidy cottage of the mid nineteenth century. The roof has a scroll-saw bargeboard (Gothic Revival), but the roof pitch is low. A round-arched Italianate window open to attic at each end. Three-bay shed dormer is a later addition. Across the front is a veranda with Gothic trefoil brackets. The posts however, are square Italianate, with impost blocks." Theme: Significance: The house had some architectural and historic significance before it was demolished. Acroterion stated that "The good architectural integrity of this simple house makes its survival here all the more impressive. It is a good illustration of how motifs from the two most popular Romantic Revival styles were combined and vernacularized.

"This is [was] the last mid-nineteenth century residential property on the old turnpike (Main Street) still surrounded by grass and trees in use as a residence. The last of its breed, this must soon succumb to a totally commercial environment."

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: First Quarter of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: This district, including all of Highview Terrace and the two-block-long curving Hillcrest Road is characterized by middle-class houses dating from approximately the first quarter of the twentieth century.

They incorporate typical design features of the era, with an emphasis on Colonial Revival details and Craftsman touches (although some English Cottage and even Mediterranean influences show up as well).

Almost all of these houses include sun porches or sleeping porches (sometimes both), and detached garages. Cladding materials are clapboard, stucco, and some brick, with a variety of roof shapes; height is almost invariably two stories plus attic.

The name "Highview Terrace" suggests this this street once had a fine view of the surrounding countryside. Today both streets are heavily planted with mature forest trees (including Lindens) that totally obscure the view. In many ways, these houses are more modest versions of those in the adjacent Midwood Terrace District.

Of the 18 houses that line these two streets, only one dates from after World War II. As might be expected for this era in Madison, Colonial Revival variants make-up the largest style category (9 houses), and illustrate the substantial opportunity for use of different design precedents. While many of the houses have been subject to modern alterations like synthetic siding and replacement windows, some houses within the district are of note:

3 Hillcrest Road is a brick Tudor Revival house with a slate roof and leaded glass windows.

5 Hillcrest Road is a stuccoed, hipped-roof house with original multi-pane wood sash windows, Spanish-style brackets, large dormers and a pent-roof.

14 Hillcrest Road is a stuccoed, complex-roof Craftsman style house with an enclosed sleeping porch with arched windows and large exposed rafters in the roofline.

25 Hillcrest Road is a Dutch Colonial Revival with a Gambrel roof with a slight flare.

29 Hillcrest Road is a hipped roof Colonial Revival house with a broken pediment over the front door. It was once shingled but now has synthetic siding.

41 Hillcrest Road is a stuccoed Colonial Revival house with a pent roof.

42 Hillcrest Road is a Spanish-style house with Prairie influences. It has a flat roof, stucco exterior and original multi-pane/2 windows.

45 Hillcrest Road is three-bay brick Colonial Revival house with its original slate roof and a barrel vaulted front entrance and stone lintels and keystones on façade windows.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Charles Force, George Pomeroy and others owned this land at the turn of the twentieth century. Its subdivision is typical of what became of this section of Madison around the time of World War I; only four houses existed here at the time of publication of the 1910 Mueller Atlas. Theme(s): Significance:

More than any other municipality in Morris County, Madison exhibits the full range of early twentieth-century housing types. This neighborhood functions as an instructive contrast to some of the nearby streets with housing of a more obviously upper- middle-class character.

The district as a whole now lacks integrity and cohesiveness and is therefore ineligible for listing in the National Register. However, some buildings in the district may warrant additional research.

Date Printed: 10/12/2015 5:12:57 PM MORRIS COUNTY, NJ Inventory Number 1417-0086 Historic District Form Acroterion Number: 1417-058 District Name: Webb Tract Historic District Common Name: Webb Tract Historic District Development Period: First third of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A strong unifying element in the district is an uncoursed and flat-topped fieldstone wall measuring 40" high x 20" deep that runs along the east side of the Woodland Avenue property-lines from Samson Avenue past No. 225 Woodland. It is probably a remnant of George Pomeroy's nineteenth century estate.

The setting of the district is enhanced by a significant number of specimen-quality trees. One of the most noteworthy is an Ash with a three-foot plus diameter. The stone wall along Woodland Road curves to protect it.

Woodland Road:

No. 218 is c. 1920, clapboard Colonial Revival-style house

No. 222 is a brick Colonial Revival house with its original slate roof and clapboard flanking wings.

No. 230 is a half-timbered Tudor Revival house with newly-replaced diamond-pane casement windows and a brick front chimney.

No. 253 is a 1920s, Georgian Revival-style house with walls laid-up in Flemish Bond brick with limestone trim. The entry frontispiece is detailed in the Tuscan Order with a balustrade surmounting the portico. Stone and brick gateposts lead to a circular drive.

No. 254 is a Colonial Revival-style house contemporary with No. 253. It combines Georgian proportions and mass with a delicate Federal doorway. The use of stone imparts a decidedly Philadelphia/ Delaware Valley impression.

No. 263 is similar to 253 and is of stone construction; it has a hipped slate roof. Large wing in rear.

No. 272 is a half-timbered, brick and stucco Tudor Revival house with a large stone chimney with a Jacobean Revival brick top. Original leaded casement windows.

No. 298 is a shingled Queen Anne house with its original multi-pane/1 windows.

No. 303 is a five-bay brick Colonial Revival house with original slate roof and sidelights around the front door.

No. 309 is a Tudor Revival house with half-timbering and stucco and replacement windows. Inglenook type front porch.

Harwood Drive:

No. 2 is a 3-bay, painted brick Colonial Revival house with two wings.

No. 16 is similar to No. 2 with painted brick and quoins with clapboard wings.

Midwood Terrace:

No. 22 is a three-part, clapboard, Colonial Revival-style house with an exceptionally well-detailed Georgian doorway featuring a segmentally arched broken-pediment with pineapple motif.

No. 25 is a clapboard, Colonial Revival-style house with center block flanked by 1 1/2-story wings and a delicate Federal doorway. Beautifully sited on more than two-acre lot. Owner indicated that construction date is 1907.

No. 46 is an L-plan, Tudor Revival-style house with steeply pitched gables and other picturesque features, including a mixture of half-timbering, stucco and brick. Setting creates a manor-like appearance.

No. 48 is a stuccoed, Tudor Revival house with half timbering and exposed rafter ends. Large 2-story back and complex hipped roof.

No. 50 The two enormous unmatched gabled ends of this stuccoed house make it an unusually large version of the Picturesque English Cottage. The slate roof is laid to suggest thatch, and the small gabled center porch has been "antiqued"

63 is a Tudor Revival-style house; difficult to see from the public right-of-way due to trees.

There are still a number of houses discontinuously located throughout the district that are of note and perhaps warrant more research. Out of the contributing buildings, there are a number of styles represented, including Colonial Revival, English Picturesque, Regency and French.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This is one of Madison's finest twentieth-century neighborhoods.

Filled with a variety of "period houses on spacious, well-maintained grounds with many mature trees and plantings." While most houses are Colonial Revival, a few are based on English historical styles, expressing the upper-middle class American dream of stability, gentility, even a pseudo-aristocratic background. Later buildings are similarly large, traditional, and non- innovative. Only the water tower adds a surprise punctuation mark.

This high-quality subdivision represents remarkable continuity of the Webb family's influence in Madison affairs: "The late James Webb had vision in that he acquired large tracts of land in the best residential section of Madison and held it intact for more than half a century" (Madison Eagle 10 June 1937). The article announcing the development observed that, "The Webb property is the only area in Madison devoted exclusively to higher class homes that offers sewer installation and complete underground utility services. Available too will be mail delivery, a service missing in some sections of the borough which have been offered for sale in recent years" (Madison Eagle 10 June 1937). Theme(s): Significance: Although there are a number of houses within the district of note that possess architectural merit and possibly warrant a more thorough evaluation, the district as a whole is no longer eligible for listing in the National Register. There has been a substantial amount of infill construction, especially on Woodland Road, and large twenty-first-century "McMansions" are now prevalent throughout the district. The intact and architecturally significant houses are not contiguous; therefore, a truncated district boundary is not possible.

Physical Condition: Good Integrity: Medium

Boundary Description: In 1986, the district included 44 buildings, 26 of which dated to before World War II. However, these numbers have changed, as there has been a significant amount of infill within the boundaries that diminish the integrity of the district as a whole. The district now includes houses on Midwood Terrace and Woodland Road between Green Avenue and Harwood Drive. Threats to Site: Development REFERENCES, ETC:

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Early Twentieth Century Source of Date: Style Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Four spacious substantial houses constructed before World War I on large, landscaped lots set back at a uniform distance from a busy street surrounded by mature trees. Located Woodland Road between Green Village Road and Green Avenue. Diverse styles have a spacious comfortable scale in common. Many have barns or carriage houses at rear.

No. 335- Shingled. fluted pilasters at corner, center pediment and tri-colored portico.

No. 333- 2.5-story, stucco English Cottage with wood trim, picturesque roofline with clipped gables.

No. 334- 2.5-story, hip-roofed Foursquare with sun and sleeping porch on rear. First floor is clad in brick, and upper floors in wood shingles. Porch across front with porte-cochere, red brick with segmental arches. Porch roof used as terrace.

No. 322- 2.5-story house clad in synthetic siding (probably shingle originally); cross-gable ell on southeast side. On northwest side, porte-cochere with Tuscan columns matching those on small front porch. Large sunroom on southeast elevation.

There are both older and newer incursions on the street. However, these houses form the most interesting and cohesive group.

No. 393, Oscar Duryea House- Constructed by 1910, house has synthetic siding and has been substantially altered.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: As late as 1910, only one house stood on this section of Woodland Road. The remaining houses were constructed within the next decade. Theme(s): Significance: This streetscape is representative of early twentieth-century, upper-middle class housing in Madison. However, they are not architecturally nor historically significant and therefore not eligible for the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Third Quarter of the Nineteenth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Described in 1986 as three small vernacular frame dwellings dating to c.1850-1875 that may have been built as workers' housing for the Green Estate, which owned the land and maintained greenhouses behind the main house located on Green Avenue. They are located on the north side of Hillside Avenue between Green Avenue and Green Hill Road.The houses at 24 and 28 Hillside Avenue have been substantially altered, and the dwelling at 30 Hillside Avenue has been demolished.

No. 24: Fishscale shingles added in apex, attic shutters have been removed, addition to rear/sides of house, faux fishscale shingles added to between 1st and 2nd floors, front porch has been added with turned posts, decorative scroll work brackets and spindles have been added. Plaque on front porch states that it was constructed in 1858.

No. 28: Wing has been added with French double doors opening onto a yard. House is virtually unrecognizable and little historic fabric remains.

No. 30: New construction.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This streetscape was developed between 1850 and 1875 and may have been worker housing for the Green Estate. Theme(s): Significance: This streetscape has unfortunately been nearly obliterated by alterations to the two remaining houses and the demolition of one. It is ineligible for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A semi-circular street lined with large and high-style, turn-of-the-twentieth-century houses in numerous styles including Colonial Revival, Foursquare, Tudor Revival, and Eclectic

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Perhaps the streetscape's most evocative of turn-of-the-twentieth-century Madison, Crescent Road was developed after 1887. In that year, Robinson's Atlas of Morris County indicates that the property was mostly vacant and divided between four owners. By 1910, most of the existing houses were extant, including one at the bottom of the street since replaced by a small subdivision. The curving line of the street, large lots and towering trees impart a park-like atmosphere. Of the eight houses dating from before World War II, five are Colonial Revival, reflecting the conservative taste of the successful businessmen who were building Madison's most exclusive residential enclaves at the time. Theme(s): Architecture Significance: This streetscape is a collective and intact group of high-style houses, likely architect-designed, dating to the turn of the twentieth century. It is recommended eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Late Nineteenth to early Twentieth Source of Date: Mueller, Robinson century Builder (where applicable/known): Description: The district corresponds to the "Green Tract" defined on the 1910 Mueller map. Its center, the winding Green Hill Road, connects with the aptly named Crescent Road (outside the district). These narrow streets are tree-lined and reflect the late nineteenth-century fondness for picturesquely curvilinear site planning.

The Green Tract is filled with moderately large houses on rather small lots, in contrast to the large lots of neighboring Crescent Road. Houses in the district are typical of the architecture favored by upper-middle-class suburbanites during the period 1915-1925: Colonial and Dutch Colonial Revival, Tudor and English Cottage Revival, and Craftsman influenced houses. The tight spacing on Green Hill Road gives these high-quality houses added impact. The district contains approximately 15 contributing houses.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: In 1887, the Robinson Atlas of Morris County depicted this property as the largely undeveloped estate of A. L. and M. A.

Date Printed: 10/12/2015 5:13:03 PM MORRIS COUNTY, NJ Inventory Number 1417-0090 Historic District Form Acroterion Number: 1417-048 District Name: Green Tract Historic District Common Name: Green Tract Historic District Green, local rose growers and large land owners. Their property was apparently laid out for subdivision not long before publication of Mueller's 1910 Atlas, since only a few houses stood on the tract in that year. This was one of the earliest upper- middle-class subdivisions in Madison and includes some of the finest houses of the period. Theme(s): Significance: The Green Tract Historic District is recommended eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C as an intact and architecturally significant early twentieth-century subdivision that is representative of the suburbanization of Madison during that period.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: c. 1920 Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Streetscape contains a c.1890 brick dwelling and a group of five dwellings constructed c.1920. The latter buildings are two- story houses with identical setbacks, size, and lot size, but differing in architectural style. They may have been built as group, possibly on speculation. All have a sun porch on south side, and most have a one-car garage at rear on the north side. Styles include Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial and English Cottage. The house with the most emphatic character is No. 131, a Craftsman cottage with Colonial Revival details.

At the end of this row is No. 133, a c.1890 rectangular brick house with a vernacular Colonial Revival appearance.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This cluster of houses was possibly built as speculative development around 1920, as all of the illustrated styles are common for the period. Theme(s): Significance: The houses on the streetscape are not outstanding examples of their respective styles and are common for the period; therefore, the streetscape is not recommended eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: between 1887-1910 Source of Date: Robinson, Mueller Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A row of four modest Queen Anne/Shingle/Craftsman style houses constructed between 1887 and 1910. All have had diminished integrity of materials due to the application of vinyl siding to the exterior.

No. 359- Large tri-gabled, L-shaped house with vinyl siding exterior. Stone foundation and porch. One original diamond-paned window in top story. One chimney on southeast side. Converted to offices, Board of Education. Tony J. Sabatini School at rear.

No. 355- Exterior changes include replacement porch posts and balustrade, asbestos siding and windows.

No. 353- Vinyl siding replaces the "Shingle style elements include natural shingles above clapboard first floor" reported by Acroterion in 1986. Natural cobblestone porch and foundation. Original diamond-pane window in top story.

No. 351- Surviving bracketed cornice and some original windows. Exterior has been clad in vinyl siding, and building has new wrap-around porch.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: In 1887, Robinson's Atlas of Morris County depicts no buildings on this side of Woodland Road. The areas was almost completely developed by 1910. The neighboring land to the rear was then part of Enos Wilder's Peach Orchard estate. Theme(s): Significance: This streetscape typifies the housing stock of middle-class Madison residents at the turn of the Twentieth century. However, the lack of architectural integrity and historic significance make it ineligible for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: c. 1925 Source of Date: Stylistic evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: These houses, constructed c. 1925, illustrated three of the era's most popular house styles: Colonial Revival, English Cottage, and Craftsman. The Dutch Colonial-style dwelling at 163 Green Village Road is no longer extant.

No. 165- Stucco English Cottage with very steep pitched roof.

No. 167- Craftsman-style, shingled cottage with shed dormer. Integrated porch and side wing.

All both have garages matching house to the rear. All occupy double lots (originally laid out in fifty foot frontages). These modest properties face an exceptionally busy street.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Based on stylistic evidence, this small streetscape was developed c. 1925. Theme(s): Significance: One of the three houses in this district identified by Acroterion has been demolished since 1986. The remaining houses lack distinction and are not outstanding examples of their type. As a result, the streetscape is not recommended eligible for the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Post-WWII Source of Date: Interview with resident (1986) Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Each of these six, one-story double houses has a rectangular footprint, side gable roof, and a gabled porch carried on poured concrete columns with rinceau capitals. In the row the facades alternate, six bays and 8 bays long, with main entries beneath the porches. Some entry porches are raised as much as four steps; others are at ground level. The wall material is stucco, likely over concrete block with either clapboard or vinyl siding in the apex of the porch roof. The house at 12 Alma Avenue is clad in vinyl siding. The roof cladding is asphalt shingle. The surviving original doors feature 6 lights at the top, and the sash are 6 over 1, though some have been replaced. According to a resident, these houses were built c. 1945 by a local contractor.

14 Alma Avenue has been demolished.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: According to a resident in 1986, this speculative development was built around 1945, likely as affordable housing for veterans and their families. Theme(s): Significance: These houses are typical of tract housing constructed in the mid-twentieth century. As such, they are not outstanding examples of a type or period of construction, and they have no known significant historical associations. The streetscape is thus recommended not eligible for the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: 1860s Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Madison Land Association Description: The Orchard Historic District has been substantially altered by the construction of infill from the mid-twentieth to the early twenty-first century. Noteworthy houses surviving from the original period of development include:

64, 68 & 72 Lathrop: 2 1/2-story, front gabled houses with end returns. The house at 72 Lathrop has original wood shingles and 2/2 windows.

23 Lathrop: 5-bay frame house with flat roof and bracketed cornice.

27 Lathrop: L-shaped house with first floor additions.

362 Woodland: Italianate house with original flat-roof tower.

Other nineteenth-century houses survive in the district but have diminished architectural integrity.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Gibbons family land was acquired in the 1860s by Edward Holland who, with several partners, developed it under the name Madison Land Association. The connection between the development, sales to Irish immigrants, the local rose industry, and the construction of several vernacular Italianate houses with towers was being explored during the Acroterion survey; however, the results of this research were not reported. Theme(s): Agriculture Significance: The Orchard Historic District may have historical associations with Madison's rose industry in the nineteenth century. However, alterations to surviving buildings and subsequent infill construction has greatly diminished the integrity of design, setting, materials, feeling and association, rendering the district ineligible for the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: First Quarter of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A cohesive neighborhood of medium-sized houses on Academy Road, a circular road with its entrance at Green Village Road, varying in form and style: Craftsman Bungalow, Foursquare, Colonial Revival, English Cottage and Dutch Colonial. The most impressive feature of the neighborhood is the unity within the variety of house styles, as only two non-contributing houses have been built. Academy Road has a circular drive at its terminus, containing a park is owned in common by the neighboring property owners. The area has maple and oak trees which enhance the park-like atmosphere. Access to Drew University's campus, which abuts this street, is via a public path at the head of the circle. This streetscape is relatively unchanged since 1986.

Key examples are No. 22, a brick veneer asymmetrical English Cottage; No. 15, a brick and frame center hall Dutch Colonial with tile roof; and No. 29, a cobblestone and shingle Bungalow, 1.5 stories high.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This neighborhood was most likely developed in the first quarter of the twentieth century based on the presence of Craftsman, English Cottage and Dutch Colonial-style houses, which were predominate during that period. Theme(s): Significance: Though this is an intact early twentieth century neighborhood, it is ineligible for listing in the National Register. The houses are common for the period and region, and no known historical associations have been identified.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: First third of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Streetscape originally featured two Tudor Revival-style apartment buildings, one of which has been demolished. The majority of the remaining buildings are modest, mid- and late-twentieth century houses that are non-contributing to the streetscape.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Two of the three apartment buildings specifically mentioned in the Acroterion survey of this streetscape are no longer extant. The building at 39 Green Village Road, known as the "Green Villa Apartments," burned in three-alarm fire November 6, 2013, and was subsequently demolished in January 2014. The F.H. Seward House at 40 Green Village Road was razed between 1995 and 2002.

This streetscape was developed throughout the first third of the twentieth century. It was dominated by two apartment buildings, Green Villa Apartments and Madison Court. Green Villa Apartments was a three-story apartment building with a slate roof and walls of black header Flemish bond brick on the first and second floors; the third floor was stucco with half- timbering. The form was a tall and enlarged English Tudor house, rectangular with slightly projecting gable roof pavilion at each end. The centered doorway had a four point Tudor Arch with a limestone surround. The grounds featured beautiful perennial borders and rear courtyard plantings.

Madison Court, 46-50 Green Village Road, is a "U" shaped, 3-story apartment building, brick with stucco, half-timber trim. The form is a spreading symmetrical English Country house with crenellated roofline. Green tile roofs add an unexpected articulation. Formerly Ella C. Brittan property. Indications of grass tennis court, probably from this estate at the rear of the complex.

No. 40 was originally the F. H. Seward House, adapted to apartment use. The building was a picturesque 2.5-story, stucco Colonial Revival residence with a hipped roof. The L shape of the main block of the house wrapped around a circular, two- story, three-bay tower. The house sat on a slight rise near the rear of large corner lot, surrounded by mature specimen trees. It was razed between 1995 and 2002 and a modern apartment building erected on the site. Theme(s): Significance: Due to the demolition of two of the three buildings comprising this streetscape, it is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: First Decades of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A row of six stucco and shingle houses built c.1900-1915. The houses have a uniform deep setback and a harmony of scale and materials. Almost all are spacious with front porches. A row of silver Maple trees fronts the properties.

Most buildings have no garages. The properties are one block from the railroad station and the center of the business district.

No. 11- Acroterion included this property, describing it as "not a true part of streetscape but worth noting." The building is a three-story, frame, center hall, mansard roofed nineteenth-century house. It has been modernized and is lacking original materials. Moved from Kings Road when railroad was elevated in 1915.

No. 13- 1.5-story, natural fishscale and rectangular shingle and stucco cottage. Gable-end to street with returns. Possibly earlier house remodeled. Small corner porch and diamond-pattern casement windows.

No. 15- A plain, two-story Craftsman house. Engaged full-width porch supported by stuccoed columns. Wide shed dormer. The replacement of original roof materials with asphalt shingles has diminished the integrity of the house as the roof is such a dominating feature.

No. 17- A classical Foursquare with a polychrome slate roof, natural shingle second story, clapboard first story and a center doorway protected by a Colonial portico. Has replacement windows.

No. 19- Side hall, shingle Foursquare with projecting bay, slightly smaller than the house at No. 17. Porch has been added (was not present in 1986). Exposed brackets in dormer.

No. 21 Stucco with wood trim, Craftsman, Foursquare. Porch across front supported by large stucco columns.

No. 25 A shingle and clapboard Foursquare, porch now enclosed in an extremely insensitive manner.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Based on stylistic evidence, this streetscape was developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century and contains housing types common for the period. Theme(s): Significance:

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: TSK 2008 Builder (where applicable/known): Smith Brothers, James H. McGraw Description: The Tuttle Oak Historic District is comprised of 93 contributing buildings and 20 non-contributing buildings.

The following description is excerpted from the draft National Register nomination:

The Tuttle Oak Historic District is located in the Borough of Madison, several miles west of Morris County’s eastern boundary, the Passaic River in New Jersey. It is a hillside location immediately to the south of the downtown, and adjoining the Madison Civic and Commercial Historic District, both on the State and National Register of Historic Places. (NR# 84002764) The district encompasses Maple Avenue, Green Avenue and Prospect Streets, bounded by Kings Road to the north and Hillside Avenue to the south.

Most of the 113 properties in the district have addresses on Prospect Street, Maple Avenue or Green Avenue. The predominant building method is wood frame/balloon frame construction. Typical height ranges are one-and-a-half to two-and- one-half stories.

Lot sizes are fifty feet wide with varying depths on Maple Avenue, allowing for dense development. Lot sizes on Prospect and Green vary in width and depth due to different development patterns over time.

The charm and cohesiveness of the neighborhood comes from a variety of architectural forms, unified by open porches, tall two-and-a-half story height, tree-lined streets and its colorful aspect as homeowners restoring their late Victorian-era houses repaint in period color schemes. Towering old Maple trees on Maple Avenue as well as bluestone sidewalks on Green Avenue add to the charm and historic narrative of this district. What makes this area distinct from surrounding residential areas in Madison is the high level of historic integrity maintained in the District as well as the density of historic fabric. The small number of houses constructed since the district’s eras of significance ended means the appearance of this dense residential area has remained remarkably unchanged since the 1930s.

The district includes 113 structures (exclusive of sheds, garages and other outbuildings); there are no vacant lots. Ninety-two houses and one carriage house are classified as contributing because of their architectural significance. Twenty houses are classified as non-contributing. These structures detract from the district because of more recent construction dates that make them visually incompatible with the character defined by the contributing buildings. Most of the contributing structures were built between 1880 and 1930 and give the district its prevailing character because of (1) similar size, height, setback and materials, or (2) differences in those characteristics that make them compatible but pivotal.

The Tuttle Oak Historic District is the most concentrated area of late nineteenth-century residences in Madison, dominated by simplified expressions of the Queen Anne style. In all, there are 45 Queen Anne style houses with the majority on Maple Avenue. The district’s most clearly identifiable architectural source was the Cooperative Building Plan Association launched by Robert Shoppell in New York in 1886. Shoppell published plans in books and in a quarterly journal, Shoppell’s Modern Houses. Later this was published monthly. Shoppell’s designs were for the most part for single-family suburban houses mostly of low cost, incorporating up-to-date features of the Queen Anne style with modern amenities such as central heating and indoor plumbing. In the district, documented pattern book houses encompass a range of sizes from diminutive “honeymoon cottage” (33 Maple Avenue) to a large house erected for a local judge (60 Green Avenue), with the majority falling somewhere in-between with about 2,000 square feet of living space. Other examples are 20 Green Avenue, 36 Maple Avenue, and 45 Maple Avenue. Also built during this era are two Second Empire style homes at 53 and 64 Green, both circa 1887.

There are a number of houses in the district that do not easily fit into academic categories of architectural styles and might best be categorized as residential vernacular. A few contain nominal stylistic references (Italianate: 41 and 50 Prospect Street; Queen Anne: 38 Green Avenue, 21 Maple Avenue and 52 Prospect Street), but remain essentially vernacular. The residential vernacular category includes 16 houses.

Italianate houses number five in the district and are all located on Prospect Street. Built between 1860 and 1887, they are located at 33, 42, 45, 75 and 83 Prospect Street. All five contain identifying features of the Italianate style such as low-pitched roofs with wide overhanging eaves having decorative brackets beneath and tall, narrow windows, some of which contain arches. These are among the oldest houses in the district.

The next category contains 27 structures and includes eclectic house styles built in the early twentieth century, including Anglo-American and English Period houses. These can be described as Classical Revival, Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Cape Cod and Cottage. The district contains one Classical Revival style house (43 Maple Avenue) built in 1912 and one Craftsmen style house (52 Green Avenue) built in 1916. Within the Colonial Revival category are the Four- Square, Dutch Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. The district contains one Four-Square at 12 Maple Avenue, built between 1910 and 1920. Dutch Colonial houses in the district were all built in the 1920s: 56 Prospect Street; 40 and 54 Green; 57 and 59 Maple. Colonial Revival style houses were built between 1910 and the 1930s: 60 and 68 Prospect Street; 37 Vinton; 41, 47, 50, 56, and 60 Maple Avenue; 48, 52, 56 and 58 Hillside Avenue. Number 48 Hillside Avenue is a Sears Roebuck & Co. mail-order house. Tudor Revival style houses in the district were all built in the 1920s and are located at 46 Green Avenue, 55 and 58 Maple Avenue. There is a Cape Cod at 51 Prospect Street circa 1920 and a Cottage on 58 Prospect Street built in the 1930s. In addition to these styles, two hybrid house styles can be found within this category in the district. On 67 Green Avenue, a hybrid Craftsman/Colonial style house was built in 1921. Next door at 69 Green Avenue, a hybrid Cottage/Craftsman was built in the 1920s.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Excerpt from the draft National Register Nomination form (2008):

The Tuttle Oak Historic District lies to the southeast of both the commercial district and the railroad depot. Although speculation for development is seen in this district on an 1857 survey map, actual development did not begin in earnest until the late 1880s. Prospect Street was established in approximately 1860, and contains the earliest extant houses in the district. While Green Avenue was laid out in 1840, the deed opening Green Avenue was not signed until August 14, 1867 between

The district derives its name from the lore of “The Tuttle Oak,” a grand old oak tree which sat in the middle of Prospect Street and divided traffic in the vicinity of Washington Drive and Pomeroy Road. The tree is said to have been saved by the Reverend Samuel Tuttle who felt that it existed during the Revolutionary War and was an important symbol of that era (Tuttle wrote the first history of the town in a hand-written journal in 1855). This venerable white oak was a ripe age even before the town was named Madison almost two centuries ago. Although it no longer exists, the Tuttle Oak remains an enduring image of the community’s philosophy of encouraging the past to live compatibly with the present.

In the Madison Eagle dated June 13, 1885, an editorial complained that Madison’s real estate value was too high and neighboring Morristown, with more affordable real estate, was experiencing a boom at Madison’s expense. In 1886, Maple Avenue was laid out between and parallel to Green and Prospect, starting at Kings Road and terminating at Hillside. This street was laid with the intention of affordable residential development so that new residents could take advantage of the area’s proximity to the Railroad Station and burgeoning downtown Madison. Development was already taking place on Green and Prospect. Narrow fifty-foot wide lots were laid out by the new owners of the Maple Avenue area, Smith Brothers Lumber Company. These lots were sold quickly to local speculators and the Madison Eagle contains many references to building and selling activities in this area.

The 1887 map shows the division of the lots on Maple Avenue owned by the Smith Brothers and the beginning of building in four lots sold and built on by this time. Green Avenue has experienced some building by this time including the Lum house, the Green Family house, and the Crane house. Other houses were beginning to be built and sold in the area as documented by the Madison Eagle. By 1889, the Journal declared “…more buildings were built in Madison during the last three years than in any five years previous.” Based on the 1887 map and 1910 map, 40 structures were built between those years. Judging from the house styles, most were simplified Queen Anne or a version thereof, probably constructed before 1900. Directories from the turn-of-the century show that this area was largely middle class providing housing for many local merchants, many of whom owned businesses on Waverly Place. Local vocations and businesses of residents of the district listed included carpenter, butcher, dressmaker, accountant, florist, etc. Professionals such as educators and doctors were also listed as residing and employed in this district. Other professionals (i.e., lawyers, clerks) who lived in the district took advantage of the close proximity to the railroad and commuted to New York and Newark.

By 1910, several residents of the district were participating in one of the most important industries in Madison at this time, rose growing. Madison was perfect for such an industry as it had reliable train service to New York, appropriate soil and climate conditions and a growing number of estate owners who had the money and space to build greenhouses. Madison became known as the ‘Rose City’ and by the 1880s, there were small rose growers as well as estate rose growers. In 1900, three of Madison’s fifty rose growers were in the Tuttle Oak Historic District.

One notable resident and developer of this district who bears mention is James H. McGraw known nationally as a founder of the publishing company, the McGraw-Hill Company in New York City. In 1887, McGraw and his new bride, Mildred moved to a house on Maple Avenue. By 1889, McGraw had purchased part of the Pomeroy Estate (which ran 400 feet along Prospect Street) with plans to build three homes.

The 1910 map illustrates McGraw’s landholdings in the area. First, at the corner of Webb Avenue and Prospect is #82 named ‘Edgewood,’ and home to McGraw. Next door, at the corner of Pomeroy and Prospect was Whittlesey’s house (not extant). Further down Pomeroy and fronting that street is the second house, part of McGraw’s Edgewood estate, which is out of the district and no longer extant. Moving north on Prospect to number 68 is another McGraw house. Next door to that and taking up what is now number 60, 58 and 56 were the estate tennis courts.25 The four houses served to accommodate McGraw, his father-in-law and Mrs. McGraw’s two sisters.

Following World War I, building continued in the district. The tradition established in the late nineteenth century of mostly modest middle class houses continued with a few exceptions. Between 1910 and 1921 seven houses were built in the area, six of which are still extant. Between 1921 and 1931, eighteen structures were built, all extant, and ten of which were on Maple. The southern half of Maple was filled in with many 1920s modest houses built on the narrow lots first laid out by the Smith Brothers in the 1880s. During the 1920s, the McGraw land on Prospect was sold and the tennis court lot was divided and built upon. Similar vocations were listed in the 1929 and 1931 Directories that were noted previously from the 1904-05 Directories.

During the Depression, some building did take place, particularly at the southern end of the district. The 1910 map shows that the two corners of Hillside and Maple were part of James Webb’s numerous Madison landholdings. In addition to being a large estate owner, James Webb was one of the town’s great benefactors. In 1903, Webb Memorial Chapel was built by James Webb in memory of his son and donated to the Presbyterian Church. During the 1930s Webb’s holding at the corners were sold and developed as well as the back part of the Burnet house at 83 Prospect.

One considerable land holding in the district which did not give in to turn-of-the century or 1920s development was the Holden estate at 73 Prospect Street, one of the oldest properties in the area. The J. C. Holden Estate remained intact and in the family from as early as 1868 through 1910. By 1929, the Holden family name was no longer listed in the Madison Directory at 73 Prospect. However, through 1948, the property retained its original 500 feet of frontage on Prospect. During the 1950s the property to the north of the house was sold and subdivided around a cul-de-sac known as Washington Drive. Although the 1950s architecture as well as the use of a cul-de-sac is juxtaposed in this neighborhood of mostly late nineteenth and early twentieth century structures, it nonetheless continues the tradition of building modest middle class housing.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: 1870-1960 Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: The north side of Prospect Street includes two, c. 1960s houses. No. 75 is a late Italianate house with much of its original architectural detailing. No. 73, The Holden Estate house, has been totally altered without regard for its architectural features.

The south side of Prospect Street includes four more houses: Dutch Colonial Revival (No. 56); Picturesque English (No. 58), Colonial Revival with Georgian features (No. 68); and Colonial Revival with Federal features (No. 60)

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: One of the lost features in this streetscape is the Tuttle Oak, which was located in front of 75 Prospect Street. A plaque reads: "The International Society of Arboriculture and the National Arborist Association jointly recognize this significant tree in this bicentennial year as having lived here during the American Revolutionary period 1776-1975."

The Tuttle Oak was struck by a moving van in 1996 and required felling. The Friends of Madison Shade Trees commissioned local artists to carve holiday ornaments out of its wood, with proceeds to benefit the organization.

This streetscape encompasses a number of residential architectural styles from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, though the tree was the dominant feature.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Late Nineteenth, Early Twentieth Source of Date: Stylistic evidence, Mueller, Robinson centuries Builder (where applicable/known): Description: The southern half of this street has a small number of late nineteenth-century houses. However, this area remained garden and orchard land into the early years of the twentieth century. Most houses thus date to this later period. The houses have detached garages, no front porches and all are similar scale. The mix includes two foursquares, two Bungalows, a Tudor Revival, and various Colonial types; all with mature trees and well-maintained yards. It dead ends at Hillside Avenue where the houses are newer, larger and on more spacious lots.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Last Half of the Nineteenth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: This block of Prospect Street retains much of its mid-nineteenth-century character with comfortable, moderately-sized houses on good-sized, deep lots. In 1986, Acroterion reported that there were hitching posts and bluestone sidewalks, though they have since been removed. Some surviving nineteenth-century trees remain, but the borough planted "modern trees" c.1986 which changed the character. Street is well used by autos and pedestrians.

The eight nineteenth-century houses are all frame and average 2.5 stories in height with vernacular Italianate features frequently in evidence.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: 1886-1900 Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: This street of medium-sized picturesque houses set on 50 foot lots presents a uniform streetscape of 2.5-story, romantically styled houses, with Queen Anne features predominating.

A majority of the houses have had some changes made such as synthetic siding, porch enclosures, etc., but a remarkable number survive with their architectural details intact. The quality of the street has remained the same for 100 years, with fine mature shade trees, and remaining bluestone sidewalks. The street is on a slight hill rising from north end to south.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Last Quarter of the Nineteenth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: These four houses (10,14,20 and 15 Pomeroy Road), while very different, also have a number of elements in common. For example, they all use the same double-hung windows with many small square panes above and plate glass below. Three have Queen Anne Shingles, three have some classic elements, all are spacious and informal in character, and set on large rolling lots with specimen trees. Although these are not pretentious houses, they were built by people of very comfortable means. No. 12 is a modern intrusion.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Based on stylistic evidence, this section of Pomeroy Road was developed at the turn of the Twentieth century. It was likely built as a cohesive group, as they exhibit some similar architectural features like small square pane and plate glass windows and shingles. Theme(s): Significance: Though the houses individually have architectural merit, the streetscape as a whole is not eligible for listing in the National Register due to lack of cohesiveness compared to other streetscapes and districts from this period in Madison. More research is recommended on individual houses to determine historic significance.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Guter, 1987 Builder (where applicable/known): Description: The Downtown Historic District (Acroterion site 1417-067) later became the Madison Civic & Commercial District, a National Register Historic District. Information in this 2015 survey reflects the official National Register District rather than the Acroterion district.

Excerpt from the National Register nomination:

The Madison Civic & Commercial District is located in the Borough of Madison, several miles west of Morris County's eastern boundary, the Passaic River. The flat terrain of the district is roughly bisected by New Jersey Highway 24, which is also Main Street. Approximately parallel to Main Street are the tracks of the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, now New Jersey Transit.

Date Printed: 10/12/2015 5:13:28 PM MORRIS COUNTY, NJ Inventory Number 1417-0107 Historic District Form Acroterion Number: 1417-067 District Name: Madison Civic Commercial District Common Name: Madison Civic Commercial District Most of the 60 properties in the district have addresses on Main Street, Waverly Place or Central Avenue. The predominant building material is brick, with seven important buildings constructed of stone. A handful of smaller buildings, clustered mostly on Central Avenue, are frame. Typical height ranges between two and three stories, although the towers, cupolas or steeples of the municipal building, the library and the two churches are higher sighting points. With the exception of the freestanding monumental civic and religious buildings, the majority of the buildings share party walls or are separated by narrow alleys. Variable street widths and the siting of public buildings impart a greater sense of variety than is found in the typical downtown district. Waverly Place, for example, wider than Main Street, functions as a quasi-plaza, and the space between and around the municipal building and the train station is a marked contrast to Main Street and Waverly Place. Apart from some green space around the churches, the library, the municipal building and the train station, there is no open space as such in the district.

As part of an ongoing Main Street revitalization program, the Borough has buried overhead wires on Main Street and has installed new streetlamps, benches and sidewalks, with similar improvements underway on Waverly Place (1987). The New Jersey Department of Transportation several years ago planted trees along Main Street. No historic street furniture survives in the district. The concrete wall of the elevated railroad tracks serves as an important visual and historic boundary along part of the district's southern limit, where three streets pierce it to create entry portals.

The small number of buildings constructed since the district's era of significance ended means that the appearance of downtown has remained remarkably unchanged since the first third of the twentieth century. The district includes fifty-nine buildings (exclusive of sheds and other insignificant appurtenances) and one structure; there are no vacant lots. Nineteen buildings and one structure are classed as Key because of their special architectural or associative significance. Eleven buildings are classed as Non-contributing. These detract from the district because of severe alterations or recent construction dates that render them visually incompatible with the character defined by the contributing buildings. Contributing resources number 49 (and include the 19 Key properties). Most were built between 1870 and 1930 and give the district its prevailing character because of 1.) similar size, height, setback and materials, or 2.) differences in those same characteristics that make them compatible but pivotal. Several buildings that might seem to qualify as intrusions are classed as contributing because their disfiguring alterations are judged reversible.

The district's predominate architectural style does not fit easily into academic categories, and might best be described as commercial vernacular, most popular in Madison during the 1870s and 1880s. Many buildings in this category are decorated with brick corbeling and pressed metal or heavy wooden cornices. A few include nominal stylistic references (e.g., Italianate and Second Empire), but remain essentially vernacular. Five buildings are recognizable residential survivors, but only one stands in a good state of integrity. Its detailing is Italianate. The vernacular category, both commercial and those buildings originally residential, numbers 28. The next largest category includes buildings derived from classical sources, although often at several removes. They can be described as Georgian Revival, Colonial Revival, Vernacular Renaissance Revival, and eclectic neoclassical. They number 13, including the district's largest building, the Hartley Dodge Memorial.

Romanesque or Gothic Revival buildings number seven (counting the two buildings of the railroad station complex), and include four of the district's most important monumental public or semi-public buildings: the Madison Public Library (1417- 0034), St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Church (1417-0026), the Webb Memorial (1417-0030), and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Station (1417-0038). Two buildings defy easy stylistic classification. The James Building (1417-0034) incorporates a number of eclectic references, notably a series of "Dutch" gables. The former freight depot is a rare surviving example in Morris County of ca. 1870s wooden railroad architecture, characterized by huge curved brackets. It is these buildings, together with the monumental civic and religious buildings in the district that give downtown an unusual degree of variety and visual vitality. The district includes part of four blocks centered around the intersection of Main Street (Rte.24) with Waverly Place and Central Avenue, the practical and symbolic center of the Borough's business and civic life. Approximately 45 buildings stand within the suggested district boundaries. Three of these buildings are already listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Most buildings in the district are constructed of masonry, or are masonry fronted. Their height ranges typically from two to three stories; although a few single-story buildings are found. The majority of buildings date from the second half of the nineteenth century, and define typically urban streetscapes at a rather small scale: buildings sharing party walls in most instances, and sited closely and uniformly along established property lines.

The district boundaries were chosen to emphasize the fact that residential development replaces commercial beyond Kings Road and Elmer Street, and the dense commercial character of the downtown loses cohesion east of Waverly Place and west of the former YMCA building.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION

Date Printed: 10/12/2015 5:13:28 PM MORRIS COUNTY, NJ Inventory Number 1417-0107 Historic District Form Acroterion Number: 1417-067 District Name: Madison Civic Commercial District Common Name: Madison Civic Commercial District History: Excerpt from the National Register Nomination form, completed by Robert Guter in 1987:

The Madison Civic & Commercial District is located in the Borough of Madison, and bisected by New Jersey Highway 24, which is also Main Street. Approximately parallel to Main Street are the tracks of the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, now owned by New Jersey Transit.

By the middle of the nineteenth century the position of the Madison business district was enhanced by the parallel lines of the Morris and Essex Turnpike (now State Highway 24) and the railroad, which had reached the town in 1837. Not until the last third of the century, however, did substantial growth occur, making the resources of today's district a product of the period 1870-1936.

Because downtown remained a small village center until after the Civil War, its buildings until then were the frame, domestically scaled dwelling types of the early nineteenth century. Not only were its buildings small and domestic in appearance, their locations were somewhat scattered. The Beers Atlas of Morris County published in 1868, confirms this pattern of downtown development in general, but also indicates a growing concentration of businesses along Main Street (the Turnpike) near its intersection with Waverly Place. During the succeeding half century, this intersection would become the commercial and civic heart of the borough, a place where frame buildings surrendered to masonry, where the generosity of several public-spirited citizens furnished monuments to the economic and social aspirations of the era and where the old-line village entrepreneurs, men with names like Burnet, Force and Brittin, at first resisted and eventually learned to co-exist with newcomers like Ratti, Micone and Valgenti.

Near disaster ushered in a new era of prosperity for downtown when a fire on October 21, 1877 destroyed a substantial part of the business district, including such important buildings as the YMCA, Oriental Hall and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western depot. The damage was restored quickly; evidence of recovery was clear by 1882 when Madison's population had reached 2,000, and "Stores were opening along Main Street in locations where few businesses existed a decade earlier.”

Judge Francis Lathrop was the first of the town's great benefactors. Convinced of the need for a downtown focal point that would give better access to the railroad station, Lathrop had begun to acquire properties on the west side of Waverly Place with the idea of eventually widening it.

Probably the most important single nineteenth century Madison philanthropist, measured in terms of the physical mark he left on downtown, was D. Willis James (1832-1907).Between 1898 and 1900 he paid for and personally supervised the completion of three monumental civic improvements. The first of these was James Park, located on Madison Avenue at the edge of the present district. Even as the park was being dedicated, plans were underway for a pair of buildings that neatly symbolized the public-spirited vision of their creator, the James Building and Madison Public Library. The James Building was a 3-story brick commercial block with a facade that curved around the corner of Madison Avenue and Green Village Road. Larger than any building downtown, it not only heralded a new scale of development but included Borough offices and a spacious civic auditorium. The rock faced pink granite walls of the Gothic-Romanesque Madison Public Library rose on a lot directly opposite the James Building, its source of support.

A contemporary of D. Willis James in age and a peer in philanthropic inclinations was James Augustus Webb (1830-1910). He left his mark on the downtown district with two important buildings, the Webb Memorial Chapel and the YMCA. D. Willis James died one year before the dedication of the new YMCA and James Augustus Webb survived its completion for a mere two years, but their support of this important institution was at once the summation of nineteenth-century philanthropy in Madison and the beginning of a new era of patronage. In light of what the future would bring, it was fitting that this transitional period should be ushered in by a woman.

Ellen Stebbins James was left with assets estimated at $26 million, a fortune she drew upon to continue refashioning Madison. According to Frank J. Esposito's history of Madison: ‘At the time of the elevation of the railroad tracks in 1914 and 1915, Mrs. James was prominent among those who turned chaos into beauty by making possible a great curving boulevard out of Kings Road in front of the railroad station. It was she who paid for the work involved in changing the course of Madison Avenue, the widening of Park Avenue, the purchase and removal of three properties on Ridgedale Avenue instead of crossing the railroad and for the complete realignment of James Park.’

In 1916, however, a year after the monumental task of elevating the railroad had been completed; the last of Madison's great benefactors set up residence in the borough and became the woman most closely associated with a scale of philanthropy that would end an era.

Ethel Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge (1882-1973) was the niece of John D. Rockefeller, and wife of Marcellus Hartley Dodge,

Date Printed: 10/12/2015 5:13:28 PM MORRIS COUNTY, NJ Inventory Number 1417-0107 Historic District Form Acroterion Number: 1417-067 District Name: Madison Civic Commercial District Common Name: Madison Civic Commercial District the grandson of the president of the Remington Arms Company. At the time of their marriage, Mr. Dodge was estimated to have personal holdings worth $60 million. In 1930, the Dodge's only child, Hartley, was killed in an automobile accident. In search of a fitting memorial, Mrs. Dodge became convinced that a new municipal building would be not only an ornament to the town but a permanent reminder of her grief. After nearly three years of construction during the height of the Great Depression, the Hartley Dodge Memorial was dedicated on Memorial Day, 1935. The municipal building finally cost more than $800,000, and was delivered by its patroness with a $300,000 maintenance fund.

The location of Mrs. Dodge's gift, opposite the train station and within sight of the Webb Memorial Chapel, shifted the focus of downtown from the old “Civic triangle” of James Building, Library and YMCA to a point near Judge Lathrop's improved Waverly Place. The Hartley Dodge Memorial brought into balance more than 60 years of de facto town planning, concluding an era of extravagant philanthropy that shaped the appearance of the borough's civic and commercial core.

Like most New Jersey towns, Madison never benefited from a sustained program of "City Beautiful” improvements, but the intelligent largesse of its leading citizens furnished the next best thing. Lathrop, James, Webb and Dodge may have been movers and shakers, but more significantly for downtown Madison, they were also movers and shakers.

New Immigrants The history of Madison has been colored by immigration since the eighteenth century, when a French émigré community established an important outpost of Catholicism. The French were followed by the Irish, who settled in larger numbers. It was the Italians, however, who numerically and culturally left the strongest impression on the downtown district, beginning at the turn of the century when a tidal wave of so-called "new" immigrants began to inundate American cities.

In its 1884 edition the Boyd's Morris County Directory lists no Italians in Madison. Jumping ahead to 1903, we find Italians listed as "laborer." Their local opportunities were great, as estate grounds men, workers in the burgeoning rose industry, and as day laborers laying sewers and paving roads. Many worked as masons on some of downtown's most important buildings. By 1926, numerous Italians are listed. More important than their numbers is their altered status. Although laborers are still found, tradesmen make their appearance in categories like shoe repair, grocer, florist, and printer.

Statistics alone furnish no more than the bare outline of how Italians fared downtown. The human story can be found in The Madison Eagle. In articles and editorials published throughout the first third of the twentieth century, evidence exists of xenophobia, pleas for fair treatment, and, finally, the emergence of the immigrant as a citizen with economic standing.

The attitude of “the larger society” towards Italians in Madison was ambivalent, influenced in part by a nationwide nativist animosity and suspicion that most often assessed the newcomers as a necessary source of cheap labor but deficient in intelligence and moral character and prone to pauperism, radicalism and criminality.

The tangible impact of the Italians downtown can be deduced best from ownership and entrepreneurship, not editorials. Italian owners carved out for themselves a substantial share of Main Street. Pioneer owners like Frank Valgenti, who had operated his bank and steamship agency out of his own building since the 1890s, and Alex Micone, who had plied the barber's trade in his own shop since 1911, were joined in the teens and '20s by others no longer content to be merely tenants. Philip DeFranco opened his Main Street barbershop in 1914 and in 1920 Salvatore Luciano bought the old Brittin store, where he opened a food market that remained in family ownership until 1965. In 1926 the Rattis moved their confectionery business into their own building on Main Street, opposite their competition, Lusardi ' s, in the Brittin Building. On July 13, 1928, Carmine DeBiasse, who had worked in local greenhouses, opened the Madison Diner at 13 Central Avenue, near Alex Micone's barbershop. All of these buildings are contributors to the significance of the district.

By the beginning of the 1930s numerous Italians had established themselves as entrepreneurs or downtown property owners. Their American-born children were beginning a new generation of stability that had already erased the old distinction between "permanent" Italians" and the transitory ditch diggers, track layers and road builders of earlier years, a fact that would soon dim the meaning of “ immigrant”. The process of Americanization pursued by Church and State (implemented in Madison by such institutions as the Library and the YMCA and promoted by the local press) did not always occur in the manner its defenders intended, but prosperity, the most practical measure of assimilation, was a fact that the brick and stone of Main Street proved abundantly. Theme(s): Significance: The Madison Civic and Commercial District is significant for the unusually high quality of its architecture and for the noted architects whose work is found there; for a concentration of philanthropic activity which changed the face of downtown; and for a surge of Italian settlement which exemplified the tension between resistance and assimilation encountered by the "new immigrants" of the turn of the century. By the middle of the

Not until the last third of the century, however, did substantial growth occur, making the resources of today's district a product of the period 1870-1936.

Because downtown remained a small village center until after the Civil War, its buildings until then were the frame, domestically scaled dwelling types of the early nineteenth century. Not only were its buildings small and domestic in appearance, their locations were somewhat scattered, as the 1853 Shields Map of Morris County illustrates. The Beers Atlas of Morris County published in 1868, confirms this pattern of downtown development in general, but also indicates a growing concentration of businesses along Main Street (the Turnpike) near its intersection with Waverly Place. During the succeeding half century, this intersection would become the commercial and civic heart of the borough, a place where frame buildings surrendered to masonry, where the generosity of several public-spirited citizens furnished monuments to the economic and social aspirations of the era and where the old-line village entrepreneurs, men with names like Burnet, Force and Brittin, at first resisted and eventually learned to co-exist with newcomers like Ratti, Micone and Valgenti.

More specifically, it is eligible for its associations with architecture, social history and Italian Immigration.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: 1850-1930 Source of Date: Guzzo, 1996 Builder (where applicable/known): Morris & Essex Railroad Description: The railroad right-of-way runs east to west between Lincoln Place and Kings Road. The elevated track runs roughly between Prospect Street and Green Avenue

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Morris & Essex Railroad (M&ERR), the predecessor to the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western (DL&WRR), was constructed in 1837 and was instrumental in linking Morristown and points west with the greater New York area. The M&ERR was absorbed by the DL&WRR in 1868. Initially used for both passenger and freight service, the M&ERR was soon used exclusively for commuter service after the completion of the Boonton Cut-off in 1870. Initially, the M&ERR used the Erie Bergen Hill Tunnel to reach its own terminal in Hoboken. Later the DL&WRR opened its own tunnel above and slightly northward of the Erie Bergen Hill Tunnel in 1877. A second parallel tunnel was completed in 1908, and two new through truss bridges were constructed to span the Erie Railroad tracks at the tunnel’s western entrance. For more information on the rail line in Madison, see 1417-0038 (Madison Railroad Station). Theme(s): Industry Significance: The Old Main DL&WRR Historic District is eligible for the National Register under Criteria A and C for its associations with suburbanization, transportation (commuter, passenger, and freight traffic), engineering, and architecture. The period of significance of the historic district dates from the mid-1850s to circa 1930.

Physical Condition: Good Integrity: Medium

Boundary Description: The historic district boundaries extend from the railroad's eastern terminus at Hoboken Terminal in Jersey City to Washington, where it departs the historic route of the M&ERR to follow the historic route of the Warren Railroad through Buttzville, Manunka Chunk, and Delaware to the Delaware River.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Last Decades of the Nineteenth Source of Date: Stylistic evidence Century Builder (where applicable/known): Description: This row of late-nineteenth c. buildings consists of three (originally five) variations on a theme: similar size, trim, treatment, and lot size.

No. 174- Queen Anne with half round tower. In poor condition structurally, though has its original shingle exterior.

No. 176- Queen Anne and Shingle Style with Richardsonian arches on original porch. The porch is now enclosed.

No. 178- Gambrel roof facing street, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival details. Some original multi-pane windows exist.

No. 180 was a gable-end to street house, and No. 182 had an octagonal Queen Anne tower. They have since been demoilshed.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Based on stylistic evidence, the houses in this streetscape were constructed during the last two decades of the nineteenth century, as they were built in styles common for the period. Theme(s): Significance: Though this streetscape has adequate examples of Queen Anne houses, the buildings lack integrity. Moreover, two of the five contributing buildings have been demolished. As a result, this streetscape is not eligible for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Early Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A row of simple Foursquares on the east side of Dean Street between Rosedale Avenue and Station Road, all 2.5 stories, with hipped roofs and dormers. Numbers 18, 20 (demolished), 24 and 28. Three remaining houses have variations of porches including enclosed, iron and siding.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Based on stylistic evidence and American architectural trends, this streetscape was developed in the first two decades of the Twentieth century. Theme(s): Significance: Due to the fact that one of the four originally surveyed houses within the streetscape has been demolished and the remaining three have modern alterations, this streetscape is ineligible for the National Register. Better examples of Foursquares can be found within Madison.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Mid-Nineteenth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Four small, 1 1/2-story houses constructed in the first half of the nineteenth century, aligned on the north side Bruns Street between Route 24 and Kings Road. The streetscape also includes two houses on Kings Road; however, houses of this type were not identified on Kings Road. These are small, unpretentious vernacular structures.

Houses resemble East Jersey Cottages with windows in the top half story.

#11- now vinyl sided with modern porch of unfinished lumber. Good condition.

#15- Vinyl siding and replacement windows. Half story windows are not present, may have been enclosed. Stone foundation visible. Good condition.

#17- Most integrity on the street. Large exterior brick chimney, possibly original exterior material. Brick foundation. Windows old, maybe original. Good condition.

#19- House has been somewhat maintained and updated since the last survey (1986). At that time, structural issues were identified, including: "drastic settling of the house on left side affecting roof line causing pronounced 'dip' in the roof, far left second story window appears to be pushing out, porch is sloped (foundation damage?). Shingle damage to right side, with mold infestation." These issues have largely been addressed. Balustrade on porch appears to be somewhat new, given its condition. Early twentieth century garage in rear.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Local tradition says these houses were for railroad workers. They were constructed in the first half of the nineteenth century. Theme(s): Significance: This streetscape is includes examples of early nineteenth-century, low-to-middle-class houses that are unusual survivors for the area. However, due to the fact that two of the original six houses in the streetscape have been demolished, and that the streetscape as a whole lacks integrity and architectural significance, the streetscape is not eligible for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: The Samson Avenue Streetscale includes examples of late nineteenth and early twentieth century, vernacular Queen Anne and Craftsman-type houses. All are small, unpretentious working-class houses. Most have seen substantial exterior alterations and modernizations, though some do retain their original architectural features. Vinyl siding and replacement windows are prevalent.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Based on stylistic evidence, this street was developed at the turn of the twentieth century (1880-1920). These houses are modest in appearance and were built for the middle class. Theme(s): Significance: The replacement of the exterior materials and windows on nearly all of the houses within the streetscape have diminished the streetscape's architectural integrity, rendering it ineligible for listing in the National Register.

Most have a combination of Queen Anne and Shingle Style elements. They sit on large, deep lots set well-back from street.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Based on stylistic evidence, this part of Central Avenue was developed between 1890 and 1920.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: This is a working-class neighborhood of straightforward vernacular structures built from the 1890s through World War I. The only indication of style is the occasional porch with Queen Anne detailing.

The majority of these houses have their gable ends to the street. They are fairly compact of flat terrain, sited in small square blocks.

Traditionally the homes of laborers, many of whom worked in the greenhouses.

Housing types include Dutch Colonial Revival and Victorian Vernacular. There is new construction on the block, but they mimic the scale, form and style of original houses.

The Madison Athletic Field (now Dodge Field) lies in the center of the neighborhood. It is anchored on the north by Central Avenue Public School on the east, and by a small unnamed park.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This part of Central Avenue served as a neighorhood for working class Madison residents at the turn of the Twentieth century, many of whom worked in the greenhouses. The children of this neighborhood likley attended the Central Avenue Public School (1417-0051).

All but the façade has been demolished, which has been incorporated into a new apartment building. Theme(s): Significance: The Central Avenue Historic District exemplifies middle class housing for Madison residents at the turn of the twentieth- century and in the decades that followed. It served as a stark contrast to the mansions on nearby Millionaire's Row (Madison Avenue). However, due to the amount of infill, alterations, and lack of significant historical associations, the streetscape is ineligible for listing in the National Register.

They encompass the usual range of styles of this era. It is an unpretentious neighborhood of square blocks laid out on flat terrain.

For the most part, contributing buildings in the district have been modernized or altered with the addition of vinyl siding and replacement windows. Howver, some houses retain their original archtitectural features, including clapboard, stucco and fieldstone.

Fieldstone is a prevalent material found throughout the district. Many houses have fieldstone chimneys, first floors and porches.

Garages frequently accompany the houses and are typically situated to the side of the rear of the house. A few houses have intergral garages, which is possibly the earliest example of this form in the Morristown area.

In the district, there are Foursquares, English Cottages, Craftsman houses, Dutch Colonials, Craftsman/Colonial Revival and Bungalows. However, there is a small amount of modern infiill found throughout the district.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: As late as 1887-and probably through the end of the last century-Highland Avenue did not exist, and Britten Street was known as Baker Street. The largest part of the land below Baker Street was owned by Edward Thebaud, whose estate included a range of three greenhouses, and an Italianate Villa.

Based on stylistic evidence, this district was developed during the first decades of the twentieth century. Theme(s): Significance: Though this district is representative of middle class housing in Madison during the first decades of the twentieth century, the lack of historic significance and integrity make it ineligible for listing in the National Register.

Physical Condition: Fair Integrity: Medium/Low

Boundary Description: The Baker/Thebaud District is located east of Central Avenue, near Dodge Field and the Central Avenue School to Madison Junior High School. It includes the north side of Britten Street from Central Avenue to Greenwood Avenue and both sides of Britten Street from Greenwood Avenue to Highland Avenue.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: c.1915 Source of Date: Stylistic evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: This portion of Elmer Street is an extension of Cook Avenue, north of Central Avenue, and faces large public parking lots. On the east side of the street are eight houses: Nos. 2, 4 and 6 are 2.5-story frame double houses which originally had porches across the front gable ends. Only No. 2 retains original divided porch; it has clapboard and shingle exterior fabric and a brick foundation. No. 4 has shiplap siding and molded cement-block foundation. All are now used as commercial/ multi-unit dwellings. Local tradition says that stucco Bungalow No. 8 was moved from across the street.

Nos. 14 and 16 have been demolished and replaced with modern construction. They were described in 1986 as, "mid- nineteenth century, 2-story frame houses moved here in 1915 from Kings Road when the railroad was elevated."

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Two of the three contributing houses on this block were moved from Kings Road in 1915. They were demolished between 2007 and 2015 and new construction is in their place. Theme(s): Significance: Due to the demolition properties on this streetscape as well as obtrusive large commercial buildings on either end, this streetscape is ineligible for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Sanborn, Mueller Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A cluster of mostly modest residential buildings dating from the turn of the twentieth century on Cook Avenue between Central Avenue and Community Place. Street is on a slope towards Community Place. The north side of the street is denser. This block also includes the Baptist Church.

At least one building, No.50, was moved here from Main Street. Another, No. 27, appears also to have been moved here. The remaining houses are vernacular 2.5-story, narrow frame structures, mostly with gable ends facing the street. They sit crowded together on very narrow lots, their facades almost at the sidewalk. The anchoring buildings are the Baptist Church and the brick Colonial Revival-style Community House, which sit almost across the street from each other.

Toward Central Avenue there are two brick flats, circa 1909. Most of these houses are now multiple dwellings and are covered with synthetic siding. There are a number of mature trees which soften the glare of the Cook Avenue lot directly across the street.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: With the exception of the Madison Community House (1924) all the buildings on this street were built between 1895 and 1910. In 1953, The "Thursday Morning Club" was the only women's club in the United States to own and operate a settlement

The settlement house was re-named the Madison Community House.

All have pitched roofs.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This streetscape was developed in the 1920s, when the Tudor Revival style was most prevalent in the United States. Theme(s): Significance: Since this streetscape has been dominated by new twentieth century development, it is now discontiguous and therefore not eligible for listing in the National Register.

Two houses have an unusual cobblestone finish which is stuccoed over. The street is a very plain working-class neighborhood similar to surrounding neighborhoods.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This streetscape was developed over a few decades and includes both late nineteenth-century Folk Victorian houses as well as c. 1920 Bungalows. It appears to have been a working class neighborhood during this time, with modestly built yet spacious houses. Theme(s): Significance: This streetscape of working-class housing stands in contrast to the mansions and upper middle-class subdivisions for which Madison is known. However, they are not architectural nor historically significant and therefore ineligible for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: 1850-1900 Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A row of eight medium-sized, 2.5-story frame houses, c. 1850-1900 with narrow lots extending to the railroad tracks on the west side of Park Avenue from James Park to Elm Street. Most have their gable ends to the street and are three bays wide. They show some Gothic and Queen Anne, but largely Italianate, architectural elements, such as round-headed front doors and gable windows. All except No. 58 are covered with synthetic siding and lack architectural integrity.

No. 58 is the tallest of the group and differs in that the core of this structure is reputed to have been part of the Federal-style Presbyterian manse moved to this site from the Hillside Cemetery area before 1910. This born out by high-style, Federal woodwork in the double downstairs parlors. This house also has Queen Anne shingles on the large front cross-gable and natural shingles on the main two floors. It has been enlarged a number of times.

No. 66 on the corner of Elm and Park, is a 1.5 story, very small, late eighteenth or early-nineteenth century vernacular farmhouse. It has undergone many modifications but has not changed in size or silhouette. The building was described as "badly overgrown" in 1986 but has since been restored.

Other houses are found in the Second Empire and Dutch Colonial Revival styles.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: This streetscape was developed over a roughly 50-year period, from 1850 to 1900. Theme(s): Significance: The Park Avenue Streetscape lacks sufficient architectural integrity and historical significance and is therefore ineligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Houses are designed in a variety of modes typical of the period, with considerable use of stucco and cobblestone.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: According to a contemporary article, "Fairwoods-Madison is rapidly taking on a residential park-like aspect. The streets are nearly ready for macadamizing, cement sidewalks are being built and the grounds about the residences are being made attractive." The promotional brochure mentions Allabough & Sons of New York City as the agents (developers?) and includes photographs of completed houses, all of which still stand. The emphasis on convenient transportation connections (both trolley and train), suggests Madison's commuter character. The photographs emphasize that large (usually Colonial Revival or Craftsman-influenced) and small (Bungalow) houses are included. This is clearly an archetypal middle-class planned neighborhood representative of all the planning and aesthetic issues that might concern the pre-World War I buyer: privacy; modern homes with all conveniences; picturesque landscaping and site planning; and a healthy location. Theme(s): Significance: Fairwoods is remarkable in Morris County for its early twentieth-century date, the fact that the development plan was completed, and its total survival today (2015). It is recommended eligible under Criterion A and C for its associations with community planning and architecture.

Physical Condition: Good Integrity: Medium/High

Boundary Description: The original boundaries included the entire south and west sides of Fairwood Road, the east side of Forest Road and all of Woodside Drive and Glendale Road. Due to a consecutive row of late twentieth-century, non-contributing houses on the south side of Fairwood Road, the boundaries have been decreased to eliminate these buildings.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Four, 2.5-story houses built at the turn of the twentieth century on the south side of Madison Avenue between the Methodist and Episcopal Churches.

No. 15- c. 1910, Tudor Revival-style dwelling with stucco and half-timbered walls and intersecting gables. Above average detailing and massing for a house of this type. An impressive oak stands in front.

Nos. 18-20- c. 1910, two Foursquares with frame porches; large examples.

No. 22- c. 1890, Queen Anne, with three-story square tower and good surviving details, including turned porch posts, decorative shingles and various window types.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The houses in this streetscape were constructed at the turn of the twentieth century, which is the same time that this area of Madison started to develop. All the houses are indicitive of the period. Theme(s): Significance: These four houses illustrate the transition from late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century styles and form a strong streetscape unit because of their compatible sizes and uniform setbacks on elevated lawns. However, the houses individually lack architectural integrity and therefore ineligble for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: 1838-1938 Source of Date: Acroterion Builder (where applicable/known): Daniel Drew Description: The university's nineteenth-century buildings are clustered around the center of the campus; some early twentieth-century houses built as faculty and administrative residences are found in the northeast quadrant of the campus. The largest concentrations of mid- to-late-twentieth- century buildings are found at the southern and northeastern sections.

The buildings surveyed were those deemed "Key Contributing" by Acroterion in 1986.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The history of Drew University is intertwined with two of the most colorful figures to impact New Jersey history: William Heyward Gibbons and Daniel Drew. Gibbons (b. 5/22/1831 in Madison, d. 6/9/1887 Morristown), builder of the Greek Revival Mansion in "The Forest," was a millionaire planter and businessman from Savannah, Georgia. He left Harvard Law School to run the family rice and cotton businesses. When the Civil War broke out, Gibbons chose to fight for Georgia, serving as a Captain in Georgia's Second Battalion. "The Forest" was left vacant, and after the war concluded he sold it to Daniel Drew, who renamed it "Mead Hall" and utilized it in the development of what was then known as Drew Theological Seminary (now Drew University). Drew was a notorious financier whose manipulations gave currency to the term "watered stock."

Excerpt from the History page of Drew University:

Drew University was established in 1867 as a seminary, the antecedent of today’s Drew Theological School. In 1928, a gift led to the addition of the College of Liberal Arts, which began as a small college for men, became co-educational during the 1940s, and grew significantly beginning in the 1960s. In the early 1980s, it was granted what is still only the fourth Phi Beta Kappa chapter in the state. With about 1,700 students and 130 full-time faculty members, the CLA is today the largest unit within the university. The Caspersen School of Graduate Studies, which is devoted to advanced study in the humanities, followed in 1955. Both its established humanities-based Ph.D. programs and its new degree programs in fields such as medical humanities are closely aligned to the curricula of the other two schools, from which it draws most of its faculty. Theme(s): Significance: The University's reputation as a bastion of Methodist education (it was first Drew Theological Seminary), later as a small liberal arts college and eventually as a university has given it a rich history in the annals of private education. The natural beauty of the campus and its stock of buildings representing many periods and styles enhance this reputation. It is recommended eligible for listing in the National Register under Criteria A and C.

Boundary Description: The Drew University campus occupies a forested tract of approximately 180 acres west of the Madison central business district between Route 24 and Glenwild Road. The southwestern area of the campus includes the Zuck Arboretum and the Drew Forest preserve, the latter containing a number of glacial punchbowls.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Mid Twentieth Century Source of Date: Winston, 1946 Builder (where applicable/known): The Ardsleigh Company Description: Rosemont Avenue is a curved avenue that terminates in a dead end. The streetscape includes both sides of Rosemont Avenue between Page Street and Ardsleigh Drive. The street is on a somewhat slight slope and has sidewalks. It is a homogenous streetscsape, comprised of 23, one-and-one-half-story, single-family homes of the same style and form. The houses follow the contours and grade of the street.

The houses on Rosemont Avenue each have a shed-roof dormer that extends nearly the full width of the house. Two windows are at either end of the dormer. They have an intregral one-car garage and an end brick chimney. On the northside of

The original exterior material was likely wood shingle, though most of the houses now exhibit vinyl siding. The houses are three bays wide, with the garage door, front door and a pair of sash windows. The roofs are gabled and clad in asphalt shingles.

The form is reminiscent of a New England Salt Box, though the front gable is sloping rather than the rear.

The most intact example, which retains its original wood shingle exterior, is 11 Rosemont Avenue.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Rosemont Avenue streetscape was a part of a larger, five-block, mid-twentieth century residential development. The land was formally a part of the J.M. Young estate known as “Ingleside.” In 1946, the Ardsleigh Company purchased the land and developed Rosemont Avenue and its adjacent streets into the neighborhood known as Ardsleigh in Madison (Morris County Clerk’s Office 4945:332). A subdivision map dated August 1946 shows the entire neighborhood being subdivided into individual parcels, and in a revised March 1947 map, the houses along Rosemont Avenue were the first to be plotted out. By 1957, building construction for the Ardsleigh in Madison neighborhood was completed (National Environmental Title Research 1957). Theme(s): Significance: The Rosemont Avenue section of Ardsleigh in Madison is notable as an intact, mid-twentieth century middle-class residential development with a cohesive building type. Since its construction, most buildings have been altered by the replacement of original exterior materials and windows. As a result, the streetscape lacks sufficient integrity and is therefore recommended not eligible for the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Larsson Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Five houses on Madison Avenue near the intersection with Vinal Place. The houses are large and in various styles including Jacobean Revival and Colonial Revival. Three of the houses (116, 120 Madison Avenue and the Tilghman House) are owned by Drew University and are used as office buildings. The other two (99 and 95 Madison) are single and multi-unit properties, respectively.

The district is comprised of two existing streetscapes, the Madison Avenue Streetscape (1417-0128) and 95 and 99 Madison Avenue (1417-0129).

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Madison Avenue Streetscape features a series of residential buildings constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At the turn of the twentieth century, Madison Avenue was considered a fashionable street and home for many of Madison’s elite. A 1910 map of the area shows the area remained the location for larger estates and land holdings by individuals. In 1910, Mrs. John M. Young owned 95 Madison Avenue. John M. Young was an Irish immigrant and merchant who owned adjacent properties between Morris and Madison Avenues, including “Ingleside” (United States Bureau of the Census 1900).

The three buildings located between Vinal Place and Loantaka Terrace (116, 120 Madison and Tilghman House) were constructed in the late nineteenth century by Enos Wilder. A Harvard graduate, Wilder formed a mercantile/ commission house in New York City known as Carter, Wilder and Company (Lewis Publishing Company 1899). He also served as the U.S. Consul in Buenos Aires and as the President of the Franklin Bank Note Company. By the early twentieth century, Wilder owned several large parcels of land in Madison Borough, near Drew University, on which he constructed at least six houses for himself and his family (Acroterion 1986). Today, all of the buildings are owned by Drew University and used as administrative facilities.

The Tilghman House was designed by the architectural firm of Boring & Tilton in 1894 for Wilder’s daughter Nella. Before Drew University’s acquisition of the property in the early 1960s, it was the private residence of the Sidell Tilghman family. The Tilghman family were direct descendants of the English Barons appointed at the singing of the Magna Carta in 1215. Over the course of Drew’s University’s ownership, the building served multiple functions, including classroom, library and office space for alumni, development, the Colonial Symphony and New Jersey Shakespeare festival (Larsson 2009b). At the present time, the former residence serves as the offices for the institution’s registrar, business office, student services and financial assistance.

116 Madison Avenue (formally the Robertsons’ House, now known as the Madison House) was constructed in 1880. Drew University’s archives claim that the house may have served as a public inn until 1920. Drew University acquired the building from W. Spencer Robertson in 1948 with the intention of using it as the women’s student dormitory (Madison Eagle 1948, Larsson 2009a). By the 1980s, the building contained apartments for the faculty. In 1992, the house was converted into office

Theme(s): Architecture Significance: The Madison Avenue streetscape is recommended eligible for listing in the National Register. While some of the houses are more architectually complex than others (1417-0128 compared to 1417-0129), the district nonetheless is an intact represenation of high-style residential architecture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. More research is recommended to determine architects and residents.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twenieth Century Source of Date: Larsson, 2009 Builder (where applicable/known): Boring and Tilton Description: Three large houses built but for Enos Wilder at the turn of the twentieth century, two of which were possibly designed by Boring and Tilton. Houses are Jacobean Revival, Eclectic and Colonial Revival. They are now owned by Drew University and are now used as offices and an alumni house.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The cited Madison Eagle article mentions three houses in the vicinity of Vinal Place built for Enos Wilder before the turn of the last century. These are undoubtably the houses referred to. Wilder built a number of houses in Madison, at least two desighned by Boring and Tilton. The designer of these houses should be established. The inventive use of masonry puts them in company of Wilder's own house (1417-0069).

A Harvard graduate, Wilder formed a mercantile/ commission house in New York City known as Carter, Wilder and Company (Lewis Publishing Company 1899). He also served as the U.S. Consul in Buenos Aires and as the President of the Franklin Bank Note Company. By the early twentieth century, Wilder owned several large parcels of land in Madison Borough, near Drew University, on which he constructed at least six houses for himself and his family (Acroterion 1986). Today, all of the buildings are owned by Drew University and used as administrative facilities.

120 Madison Avenue (formally the Robertsons’ House, now known as the Madison House) was constructed in 1880. Drew University’s archives claim that the house may have served as a public inn until 1920. Drew University acquired the building from W. Spencer Robertson in 1948 with the intention of servicing as the women’s student dormitory (Madison Eagle 1948, Larsson 2009a). By the 1980s, the building contained apartments for the faculty. In 1992, the house was converted into office use and currently houses many of Drew University’s financial groups, including the office of the Vice President for business and finance (Larsson 2009a). Theme(s): Architecture Significance: The Madison Avenue Streetscape is significant as an intact and architecturally important group of houses with associations with the architectural firm of Boring and Tilton. It is recommended eligible for the National Register under Criterion C.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Early Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: Two Colonial Revival houses dating from the turn-of-the-twentieth-century on the north side of Madison Avenue near the intersection of Vinal Place.

Acroterion incorrectly identified 99 Madison Avenue as 100 Madison Avenue. 95 Madison Avenue has higher integrity than 99. Both are currently still residential, though 99 is now apartments.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The Madison Avenue Streetscape features a series of residential buildings constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During this period, Madison Avenue was considered a fashionable street and home for many of Madison’s elite. A 1910 map of the area shows the area remained the location for larger estates and land holdings by individuals. In 1910, 95 Madison Avenue was owned by Mrs. John M. Young. John M. Young was an Irish immigrant and merchant who owned adjacent properties between Morris and Madison Avenues, including “Ingleside” (United States Bureau of the Census 1900). Theme(s): Significance: 95 and 99 Madison Avenue are contributing resources to the larger Madison Avenue Streetscape (1417-0127), which is recommended possibly eligible for the National Register under Criterion C. The two houses alone do not form an eligible streetscape.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: c. 1920 Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence Builder (where applicable/known): Description: A discontiguous set of seven Tudor and English Revival houses dating from the mid-1920s and 1930s. They were likely designed by the same architect or firm. Some are more reserved Tudor Revival, while others are whimisical in nature, with swayback roofs and other features suggestive of the Storybook style.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: These houses were constructed in the first decades of the twentieth century. Although the Tudor Revival is a common style in Morris County and throughout New Jersey, a number of the houses on Rose Avenue exhibit hallmark features of the Storybook style, including swayback roofs and unusual combinations of brick, stone, and stucco on the exterior. The Storybook style is uncommon in New Jersey. The similarities among the buildings suggest the work of a single architect or source. More research is recommended. Theme(s): Architecture Significance: The Rose Avenue Streetscape is recommended potentially eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C. More research is recommended to determine an architect and to identify significant historical associations.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Turn of the Twentieth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence, Robinson 1887 Builder (where applicable/known): Description: The North Avenue Streetscape is a four-block stretch of modest, late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century houses between Park Avenue and Burnet Road. Unfortunately, the district as a whole has little architectural integrity, as most of the houses have been modernizated and substantially altered with vinyl siding and replacement windows.

The houses are predominately frame construction and two- or two-and-a-half stories tall. They appear to have originally had front porches, but many of them have been enclosed. The street also has a few three-story brick or frame apartment buildings with flat roofs.

There are approximately 55 buildings on the street that were constructed before World War II.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Together with its partner South Street, this seems to have been planned as a unit for local working-class people. Original owners were Irish immigrants who commanded low salaries. In 1986, this street was inhabited by a largely Italian population, which maintained meticulous gardens complete with statuary. The statuary has since been removed.

The 1868 map depicts only four houses facing North Street. By 1887 there were roughly 16 dwellings, and the remainder of the lots, up to about East Street, were laid out and numbered. The names on the map are predominately Irish.The great majority of the houses in the streetscape were constructed from circa 1890-1920. Theme(s): Significance: Due to the amount of alterations and lack of integrity on nearly all of the buildings within the streetscape, it is ineligible for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Last Quarter of the Nineteenth Century Source of Date: Stylistic Evidence, Robinson, 1887 Builder (where applicable/known): Description: This is a compact neighborhood bisected by the railroad and comprised of very modest mid-to-late nineteenth century structures. It includes houses on both sides Elm Street between West Street and Park Avenue. of They vary from small individual dwellings to multiple-family flats, placed on small, tightly packed lots. Most of the buildings have modern exterior alterations, including the addition of either stucco or vinyl siding and replacement windows

The neighborhood is clustered around the point where the railroad right-of-way crosses Elm Street, which formed a section of the first road to Morristown.

Topographically, Elm Street descends a hill in a curving path, which adds visual interest. Very large properties with houses facing Route 24 back up to Elm Street.

The oldest building on the block, 39 Elm Street, has been demolished.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: The 1887 map shows this area tenanted by Irish immigrant laborers. It appears to be related historically to the North Street area, where dwellings of similar size and dates are found, and where nineteenth-century residents also were predominately Irish. St. Vincent's School (now demolished) stood on Park Avenue between the two settlements, unifying them. The small lots found here contrast with the tree-lined gentility of middle-class Madison at the turn-of-the-twentieth-century (see 1417- 031). Theme(s): Significance: The amount of alterations on many of the buildings within this streetscape render it ineligible for listing in the National Register.

DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT Development Period: Eighteenth through Twentieth Centuries Source of Date: Ford Farewell Mills & Gatsch, Architects, LLC Builder (where applicable/known): Description: he district includes all James Park and 1-105 Ridgedale Avenue.

Excerpt from the National Register nomination (2003):

The Bottle Hill Historic District comprises the earliest settlement within what is now called the Borough of Madison. The district is essentially linear, extending eastward from James Park (the site of which was once the apex of the village of "Bottle Hill") at the intersection of Ridgedale and Park Avenues and continuing along the first several blocks of Ridgedale Avenue. Ridgedale Avenue (formerly known as "the highway to Hanover Neck," Columbia Avenue, or Columbia Street) is a two-lane, tree-lined road that extends to the border of Madison and Florham Park, passing through Florham Park and East Hanover to terminate at Route 280 in Fairfield. The district is entirely residential in character.

Settlement began circa 1730, and development within the district continued until circa 1930. The Bottle Hill Historic District is a virtual textbook of American domestic architecture, encompassing a range of periods and styles including Colonial (East Jersey Cottage), Romantic Revival (Italianate, Second Empire, Stick Style), and Eclectic Revival (Tudor Revival). While there have been some changes to individual structures (such as the addition of synthetic siding), the district remains largely intact, retaining its historic integrity in terms of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Excerpt from the National Register Nomination Form: James Park, at the western edge of the district, is an open lot bisected by a path that extends from Park Avenue to a pedestrian bridge over the New Jersey Transit right of way. The path visually continues the line of Ridgedale A venue to its east. Ridgedale A venue once extended across Park Avenue and through to Madison Avenue until it was closed in 1914 in

This site is pivotal within the Bottle Hill Historic District as the location of the community's original tavern, from which it took its name. A bronze plaque within the park marks the site of the tavern.

From its origins as a Native American trail, Ridgedale Avenue took on increasing significance during the eighteenth century, particularly during the Revolutionary era. It is shown on maps of this period such as the 1777 "Loantaka Valley Campsite" map (on file at the Madison Historical Society) and an early twentieth century reconstruction of the Location of Revolutionary Roads (Madison Historical Society). At that time the road was sparsely populated, although the frame dwellings of the Sayre and Miller families (31 and 105 Ridgedale A venue, respectively) were both present. Today, these residences retain considerable architectural integrity. Both buildings are small in scale, with gabled roofs and stone foundations. The Miller home, at the easternmost edge of the district, is sited at an angle to the street and surrounded by an expansive lot, while the Sayre House, closer to the western edge of the district, is sited almost directly in today's right-of-way for Ridgedale Avenue.

In the late eighteenth century, the Sayre and Miller houses were joined by several small, vernacular dwellings. Concentrated at what is now the center of the district, these "East Jersey Cottages" were typically 1-story tall and side gabled, with small knee wall windows at the upper story and wide clapboard siding. Examples of the East Jersey Cottage type survive at house numbers 42, 43, 51, 57, 59, and 62 Ridgedale Avenue. Some have been carefully restored, while others have been modified over time. All retain integrity of form and scale.

Continued growth within the community, fueled by the introduction of the railroad in the 1830s, meant the construction of numerous residences and a particularly fertile period of development along Ridgedale Avenue. The mid-nineteenth century dwellings constructed during this period were typically designed in the Greek Revival, Italianate or Gothic Revival mode; examples of these styles remain at 34 Ridgedale (Gothic Revival), and 35 Ridgedale (Greek Revival with Italianate influence). The district was not solely residential during this period, however. The Ridgedale Inn, a popular hotel expanded circa 1850, stood at the corner of Ridgedale and Park Avenues and drew visitors from New York City and surrounding regions. A Catholic Church, constructed at 69 Ridgedale Avenue in 1839, also contributed to the vitality of the streetscape.

Empty lots along Ridgedale continued to be filled in the second half of the nineteenth century, and several of the dwellings constructed during this period are high style buildings that demonstrate the community's ability to respond to architectural fashion. Key among these late nineteenth century dwellings are the structures at 64 and 71 Ridgedale Avenue, the first an example of the Second Empire style, the latter a highly ornamented and well preserved example of the rarely seen Stick Style.

With the exception of a small number of Colonial Revival or Queen Anne style dwellings (examples exist at 25, 63, 96, and 102 Ridgedale), there was limited development within the district during the last two decades of the nineteenth century and the opening decade of the twentieth century. The district did witness a small boom period in the 1910s and 20s, however, and any remaining lots along Ridgedale Avenue were largely filled by the end of the 1920s. These later dwellings were primarily constructed in the Bungalow style, although examples of Tudor and Colonial Revival also survive. The structure at 21 Ridgedale has been identified as one of the homes sold by Sears, Roebuck & Company during the 1910s.

There has been little physical change to the district since the 1930s. Perhaps the most significant alteration has been the replacement of the Ridgedale Inn following a fire in the 1930s with the General Wayne Village apartments in the mid-twentieth century. Nevertheless, the apartments retain both the tradition of multi-family "housing" at this site and the relative openness of the land that was present when the hotel was in existence. Also, the closure of Ridgedale A venue between Park and Madison Avenues in 1913 meant the elimination of several historic residences. Yet the site remains important to the district not only as a physical link to the Bottle Hill Tavern, but also to the railroad line that brought considerable development to the district during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and fostered Madison's growth as an important northern New Jersey commuter suburb.

Ridgedale Avenue is a fifty-foot-wide, two-lane road, paved with asphalt. The street is located on a low ridge that drops off sharply to either side, particularly in the western half of the district. Striping consists of a double yellow line, and Belgian block curbing marks the edge of the roadway throughout the district and beyond. There is a grassy strip, approximately three feet in width, between the curbing and the sidewalks, which are principally concrete squares. Some bluestone sidewalks remain, with the greatest concentration at the western end of the district. The road is shaded by medium-to-heavy tree growth, which provides some separation between the dwellings and the passing traffic. Most dwellings are sited near the roadway, with narrow front yards with setbacks of approximately twenty to thirty feet. Fencing is not common to the district, although the Luke Miller House at 105 Ridgedale features a wooden fence, as does 42 Ridgedale, and some lots are set off by low shrubs. A number of the residences that line Ridgedale retain outbuildings, most of them garages that were built in the early twentieth century. The nineteenth century barns that stand at the comer of Ridgedale and Cook Avenues, surviving remnants of an earlier estate, are two of the older and more distinctive outbuildings in the district.

SIGNIFICANCE / EVALUATION History: Excerpt from the National Register Nomination Form by Ford Farewell Mills & Gatsch, Architects, LLC, 2003:

Morris County was formed from Hunterdon County in March, 1738. Settlement of the area now known as Madison (formerly Bottle Hill) began in earnest circa 1730. Settlers were attracted to the area for its proximity to both fertile land with an ample water supply, and to the burgeoning ore industry in Northern New Jersey. The origins of the name Bottle Hill are debated, but some sources indicate that it might have been a reference to an early sign in the shape of a bottle at a tavern on the comer of Ridgedale and Park Avenues. Other sources suggest the name may have come from the bottleneck shape of an early land parcel. The name was changed to Madison in 1834, when the borough was named for the fourth President of the United States. The name Bottle Hill had by then ceased to serve the community, which had a strong temperance movement.

The community's earliest settlers came from Long Island, New York and Elizabeth, New Jersey. Andrew Miller arrived from Long Island in the early 1700s, purchased a tract of land along Ridgedale Avenue, and either he or his son, Josiah, constructed a house there circa 1730. The property became known as "Miller's Station." Andrew's grandson, Luke, was born at Miller's Station on September 8, 1759, and became a significant force within the development of Madison and its various institutions. Together with Miller's Station, the Sayre Homestead was one of the first homes to be constructed within the village of Bottle Hill along Ridgedale Avenue.

In the late eighteenth century, the Sayre and Miller houses were joined by several small dwellings identified stylistically as "East Jersey Cottages." These vernacular dwellings were typically one-and-a-half stories tall and side gabled, with small knee wall windows at the upper story and wide clapboard siding. William Parkhurst Tuttle, author of several histories of Madison, described the village of Bottle Hill in 1801 as comprising approximately twenty dwellings, most of which were located on either King's Road or Ridgedale Avenue, thus indicating the street's early importance. The establishment of the village's first school on Ridgedale in 1809 (the Madison Academy) led to further development within this linear neighborhood, as did the introduction of the Morris and Essex Railroad Line in 1837 (which bordered the western edge of the district) and the construction of a Roman Catholic Church (the first in Madison) at 69 Ridgedale Avenue in 1839.

With the construction of the Morris and Essex Railroad in 1837, Madison developed stronger links to the metropolitan regions of New Jersey, as well as to New York City. Not only were commercial goods transported to expanding markets, but the village also began to attract cosmopolitan homeowners who earned their living elsewhere and visitors attracted by the beauty of the region. The Bottle Hill Historic District was intimately linked to the railroad, as it passed alongside its southwestern

By the middle of the nineteenth century, the district had witnessed considerable development, primarily residential in nature but also institutional and commercial. Tuttle describes Madison in 1854 as follows: Madison contained approximately 120 dwellings. In addition to the dwellings, the community supported six stores, an umbrella manufacturer, a bakery, a candy manufacturer, a tin stove establishment, one cabinet warehouse, two harness manufacturers, three blacksmith shops, three wheelwright shops, two cider mills, one distillery, two tailoring establishments, one millinery, three or four shoe shops, two or three carpenter shops, a post office, a Presbyterian Church, a Methodist Episcopal Church, a Roman Catholic Church, an Academy, a hotel, a railroad depot, and a village hall.

The 1857 Map of Madison, Morris County, New Jersey, surveyed by Thomas Hughes (on file at the Madison Historical Society) as well as atlases from 1868 and 1887, reinforce Tuttle's description. The atlases show Ridgedale Avenue (then called Columbia Street) lined with a number of dwellings between Park Avenue and "Miller's Station" at the easternmost edge of the district. The southern side of Ridgedale featured more closely spaced dwellings, the Catholic Church occupying a large lot near the center of the district, and the Madison Academy standing at the comer of Ridgedale and Park Avenues. Stylistically, the dwellings constructed along Ridgedale Avenue during this period were typically designed in the Greek Revival, Italianate or Gothic Revival mode.

In addition to a growing residential population, Madison had begun to attract visitors from New Jersey cities such as Newark, as well as from New York by the mid-nineteenth century, as transportation made the village readily accessible and its rural atmosphere made it physically attractive. The Ridgedale Inn, a popular late nineteenth- and early 201h -century hotel, stood at the comer of Ridgedale and Park Avenues. Despite modernization during the early twentieth century, the Ridgedale Inn did not survive the Depression years, and closed in April of 1935. The building burned several years later. The site is occupied today by the mid-twentieth century General Wayne Apartments.

During the late nineteenth century and well into the early twentieth century, the popularity of the Ridgedale Inn introduced many to the attractiveness of Madison as a picturesque suburb, and Madison's reputation for "healthy air, attractive surroundings and cultured people" contributed to a rise in local population. Between 1912 and 1921, the Sanborn Map Company's coverage of Madison expanded considerably, indicating a time of expansion and growth for the community. Dwellings erected in the Bottle Hill Historic District during this period reflected the national popularity of the Bungalow style, in addition to examples of the Tudor and Colonial Revival styles.

The configuration of Ridgedale Avenue was altered slightly in 1914, when the decision was made to close the road between Park and Madison Avenues in conjunction with the elevation of the railroad through that area. Mrs. Willis James, one of the town's most important benefactors, supported the expense of this endeavor. The closing of Ridgedale at this point was well supported, as its intersection with Madison Avenue (just west of the district) was considered to be "the most dangerous road intersection between Morristown and Newark.'' James Park was thus expanded and a new pedestrian bridge erected in 1914.

In contrast to the neighborhoods that surround it, the Bottle Hill Historic District represents the original suburban core of Madison, New Jersey. It developed naturally, extends across three centuries and reflects several major trends in the creation of historic American suburban areas. These trends include the development of the railroad, the early automobile, the evolution of the single-family house, the Victorian suburban villa, the practical suburban house, and mail-order suburban housing. The Bottle Hill Historic District demonstrates that suburban development in New Jersey predates the twentieth and even the nineteenth century, reaching as far back as the mid-eighteenth century. No other area within the borough reflects the successive waves of development in quite the same way that the Bottle Hill Historic District does, with dwellings from a variety of eras in a range of styles standing. Theme(s): Significance: The Bottle Hill Historic District is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A. The district is significant in the area of Community Planning and Development as the earliest and best preserved residential settlement within what became the Borough of Madison. The district encompasses the site of the tavern said to have inspired the town's first name, Bottle Hill (now the site of James Park), and extends to the northeast in a linear fashion along Ridgedale Avenue, originally known as "the highway to Hanover Neck" and later as either Columbia Avenue or Columbia Street. The period of significance for the district is defined as circa 1730-1930, encompassing the oldest remaining residential structures (the Sayre and Miller Houses), as well as the continued, largely residential development that occurred over the next two centuries. While the majority of the structures that lined Ridgedale during this period were dwellings, there were some notable exceptions, and these exceptions helped to spur further development within the linear neighborhood. The village's first school was established on Ridgedale Avenue in 1809 (the Madison Academy), and it was from this school that the village eventually took its name. The continued development of Ridgedale Avenue reflected the importance of the establishment of the Morris

The Roman Catholic Church erected a house of worship in the center of residential Ridgedale in 1839. Madison became a destination for travelers wishing to escape the city for the country, as is evidenced by the construction of the Ridgedale Inn circa 1850. While the essential character of the Bottle Hill Historic District is defined by the variety of its eighteenth- and nineteenth-century dwellings, there are notable examples of early twentieth-century design as well.

Physical Condition: Good Integrity: Medium/High

Boundary Description: The boundaries of the Bottle Hill Historic District include all historic features that contribute to the significance of the district as the earliest residential settlement within the borough. These features include James Park, the Sayre House and Luke Miller House, and a diverse collection of late eighteenth-, nineteenth- and early twentieth-century residential structures representing a range of historic architectural styles.

Boundaries were drawn to account for visual changes in the character of the district, particularly change in the period of significance and relative integrity of the buildings. Boundary lines follow legally recorded property lines and do not include partial parcels.

The western boundary was drawn to take in James Park, historically considered to be the center of life in the village once known as Bottle Hill. The district is linear, and follows Ridgedale Avenue, along the residential settlement of this early settlement occurred, beginning in the mid- eighteenth century and continuing into the twentieth century.

The eastern boundary clearly represents a change in age, form, scale and material. Structures beyond 104 Ridgedale on the northern side of the street do not contribute to the district’s period of significance; neither do those beyond 105 Ridgedale on the southern side of the street. A distinct break is also made visually at this point by the bend in the road and the relative openness of Summerhill Park on the southern side of Ridgedale Avenue.
