I've lived in New Jersey for more than 40 years, but I'll never be a real New Jersey girl. I grew up in Pennsylvania where there was lots of snow, one traffic light in town, and 90 kids in my grade--from kindergarten through graduation. I didn't know anything about The Shore, or baked ziti, or Chanukah until I came to Jersey. But, I've come to love all of that and much more--especially the history. I now know about the Jersey Dutch, strawberry baskets, railroad suburbs, the bridge that saved a nation, and so much more. I've learned that to tell the local stories about regular people I need to read wills, estate files, census records, pension applications, letters, tombstones, newspapers, and anything else I can find. So, that's some of what I want to share with you!

Naugle House, Fair Lawn

The Borough of Fair Lawn is legally required by its agreement with Bergen County to maintain the Naugle house.

To prevent deterioration of the Historic Preservation Property, Municipality [Fair Lawn] shall maintain the Protected Features [Naugle House and historic details] in good condition at Municipality's cost and expense.  "Good condition" means that the Protected Features are intact and structurally sound, there are few or no cosmetic imperfections and the feature needs no more than routine maintenance.  F.3.c.  Open Space Trust Fund and Historic Preservation Trust Fund Grant Agreement between the County of Bergen and Borough of Fair Lawn, 2007-2010

Do you think this qualifies?

 

What is going to happen to this house if development of the Vander Plaat property proceeds?  The access easement to the Vander Plaat property runs within 10' of the corner of the house.  Who is going to protect this house?
 
 

Come to the Zoning Board Meeting to discuss the develoment of the Vander Plaat property on September 4 at 7 pm.
