Upper Montclair Historic Business District Nomination Report May 2006

Introduction

The discussion of the Upper Montclair business district from 1900 describes a vibrant commercial coJTidor that met the needs of the local community. If you were to ask someone for a description of the commercial district today, a similar one would most likely be provided. For over I 00 years the Upper Montclair business district has served as the center of the community, providing a host of services ranging from the commercial to the social. During this period, the suJTounding community developed from a rural area to a suburban one, which was largely brought about by the improved transpo1iation links to the nearby metropolitan areas. There has been a great deal of change to the built environment of the district, with most.of the early frame structures replaced by later ones made of brick and stone. In the past fifty years, the automobile has had a profound effect on the historic fabric of the district, which has resulted in the loss of a number of structures. Yet despite all of the changes that have occurred, the district has remained the center of the community; a thriving commercial cmTidor that has continued to serve both the needs of the community as well as to attract people from adjacent ones.

History

The Upper Montclair of the eighteen eighties was thinly populated, and consisted of a few homes which were outnumbered by the open fields that covered the area.

The development of this area during the later part of the nineteenth century can be clearly seen in maps showing the growth in the number of structures in the commercial center and the breaking up of the large pieces of prope1iy into smaller ones. The maps show that in the period from 1878 to 1897, the density of the development in the center of the community increased markedly, with the construction of civic institutions such as a school, a series of churches, as well as a number of residences.

"well have mistaken for the average merchandizing establishments of a thriving western town"2

In the early part of the twentieth century, the district still had unpaved roads and consisted of frame structures that reflected the earlier rural nature of the surrounding areas. Al the tum of the century, the district had seen a number of improvements to its infrastructure, with one of the most notable of these being the introduction of gas street lamps. The need to adequately light the streets in the area had been a major concern of residents, and their introduction was seen as a major step forward for the district.

The impact of the railroad on the development of the district cannot be overstated. The earliest connection was provided by the Montclair Railway Company, which only a few years after its establishment fell into financial distress. It was followed by the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway Company, which provided commuter rail connections to Jersey City and to the ferries to New York City.

The railroad was followed by the introduction of a trolley, which connected Upper Montclair with the downtown area. The trolleys could not survive the impact of the automobile, and thus in 1928 the trolleys were replaced with buses.

"The inevitable result of early separation was that the social and civic activities in the two centers were independent; each living a life of its own."3

As the district grew and prospered, a number of civic organizations were formed including the Mountain Society in 1884. The Mountain Society was a local improvement organization charged with the care of the streets and vacant lots in Upper Montclair. Over the years the organization undertook a number of important improvement projects including the planting of shade trees, the beautification of the grounds around the train station, efforts to keep out undesirable signage, and perhaps most notably the installation of the

handsome clock at the comer of Bellevue Avenue and Valley Road in 1915. The clock, which still stands at the corner to this day, cost $750 and served as a visible sign to the community that the district had finally become an established commercial CO!Tidor.

. l~l

Another important civic organization formed was the Business Association of Upper Montclair in 1915. The Association worked on a host of projects, including the widening of Valley Road and the development of the railroad plaza. The Association also sought to address the growing parking problem of the district by calling for a "solution in the form of a centralized parking location"4.

During this period there was considerable concern in the community over the rapid growth that was occurring, with residents expressing frustration at "the problem of regulating the type of buildings to certain sections"S. It was a period when the district saw the construction of a number of impo1iant structures, and development of businesses that catered to the increasingly affluent population of Upper Montclair.

The post war years saw continued growth for both Upper Montclair and the business district. The district continued to serve as the center of the community, with commercial and civic institutions serving as anchors for the area.

T,nvnship of 1\:Iontclair Historic Preservation Commission 6

The impact of the automobile on the architecture of the district began to be felt during the post war years, with the construction of a number of buildings that catered to the automobile centered lifestyle that was coming to dominate American life.

Unfortunately, this meant the loss of a number of historic structures, as well as the deterioration of the pedestrian nature of the district. Nevertheless, the district continued to prosper, largely the result of the layout of the town which did not allow for the construction of competing shopping centers as occurred in other suburban communities.

In the ensuing period the district saw a number of changes, including the granting of the first license to serve alcohol by a restaurant in 1963. In the following decades the district managed to weather the difficult economic times that beset the region, and continued to serve as a vibrant commercial corridor.

III. Proposed Historic District Boundary Description

The proposed boundaries of the district are as follows:

The southern edge of the district would end at the intersection of Valley Road and Notihview Avenue at the site of a public park. The decision was made to not include the large apartment building across the street on Valley Road, nor the A&P shopping center directly to its south. The southern boundary was designed to serve as a gateway to the community, with the public park serving as a focal point when one enters the district from the south.

The western edge of the district would end at the railroad tracks that serve lo separate the district from the residential community to the west. This boundary would include the Upper Montclair Railroad Station, as well as the miginal station that served the area directly to its nm1h.

The northern edge of the district would end at the Kings supern1arket, which is the notihemrnost extent of the commercial area. Directly to the nmih a residential community of apartments and single-family houses exists, and thus the Kings site makes

To-wnship of !Hontclair Historic Preservation Commission 7

Upper :r\1ontclair Historic Business District Nomination Report May 2006

an effective visual break for the district. In addition, the northern edge would run behind the structures on the northern side of Bellevue Avenue, which also marks the boundary between the commercial area and the residential.

The eastern edge of the district would begin at the intersection of Norwood Avenue and Bellevue A venue, and would continue to the intersection of Cooper Avenue and Northview Avenue. This boundary was chosen in order encompass the commercial structures on Bellevue A venue, as well as the social institutions on Cooper and Northview Avenues.

The goal of the proposed boundaries is to capture the historic commercial center of the Upper Montclair community, while not adversely impacting the adjacent residential communities. The proposed district would encompass both historic contributing structures as well as non-contributing ones. The intent would be to protect the remaining historic fabric of the district as well as to control any new construction that would occur on the underused lots in the district.

HISTORIC BUSINESS DISTRICT

IV. Statement of Significance

The issue of whether or not to designate an area as a historic district is often a contentious one. On one side opponents to such eff011s often claim that such an action will result in higher maintenance for property owners, and will infringe on the rights of individuals to do what they want with the properties that they own. On the other side proponents see such effmis as the only way to ensure that remaining historic fabric will not be lost, and will instead be preserved for the enjoyment of future generations. Wherever one stands on this issue, countless studies have show that preservation makes economic sense. In communities throughout the nation, designation of neighborhoods and commercial areas as historic districts has resulted in economic renewal on a scale that was not foreseen even by the most fervent supporters of preservation.

In the Township of Montclair, the Town Center Historic District serves as a local example of the benefits that designation can bring about. This important commercial center, which had seen its fortune decline through the years, is enjoying a revival that can partially be attributed to the efforts of the Montclair Historic Preservation Commission. Where once alterations to storefronts resulted in the loss of historic fabric and their replacement with cheap and unattractive substitute materials, one can now see restorations of facades being undertaken. These restorations are helping to return a sense of order to the district, with new signage and lighting being of an appropriate scale and material.

The proposed Upper Montclair Historic Business District has the advantage of starting out in a much stronger position than the Town Center Historic District found itself in. For the Upper Montclair district has managed over the years to remain a vibrant commercial corridor, while at the same time retaining most of its historic fabric and impm1ant structures. Although there have been losses, the district has kept its cohesiveness, and is poised to continue to serve as the center of the Upper Montclair community. The designation of the area as a historic district will allow for this progress to continue, by preserving the remaining historic structures and ensuring that new ones will be compatible with the unique character of the district.

V. Significance of the Architecture

The proposed Upper Montclair Historic Business District has seen the loss of most of its earliest structures, including the so-called Trunk Building, which stood at the site now occupied by the Bellevue Theater. In addition to the Trunk Building, other notable early structures that were replaced include the original Upper Montclair fire station house.

The Trunk Building The Original Firehouse

What should be noted is that this first round of demolition and replacement resulted by and large in the enhancement of the district with architecturally distinctive structures being constructed. This can be seen in the examples cited above, where the Tudor Revival style Bellevue Theater replaced the Trunk Building, and the Queen Arme style firehouse that replaced the original frame structure. It is the result of this first round of demolition and new construction that gives the district its distinctive character.

The variety of architectural styles that can be found in the district range from Colonial Revival, to Picturesque, to Georgian Revival, to Queen Anne. Additional structures in the Neo-Classical and Single styles contribute to the architectural distinctiveness of the district, while the core of the district is defined by a number of Tudor Revival style buildings.

Tcnvnship of Montclair Historic Preservation Commission 10

Upper Montclair Historic Business District Nomination Report May 2006

These Tudor Revival style structures were the result of the efforts of a number of architects, including the firm of William E. Lehman. This firm, which was established in 1896, was responsible for the design of numerous prominent structures throughout the northeast, and in particular in the nearby city of Newark. The original plans for one of the Tudor Revival style commercial buildings in the district shows the attention that went into the construction and design of such buildings. Fortunately, much of the original historic fabric of these structures remains, although it has slowly been eroded over the years.

The second round of demolition and replacement that occurred in the district had a decidedly less positive impact. While some of the replacement structures were designed to contribute and fit in with the overall scale and appearance of the district through a careful attention to the use of materials and massing, much of the newer construction does not simply measure up. Lack of articulation in the facades, and the use of bland stucco facades, has cheapened the overall appearance of the district. In addition, many of the older structures have seen their ground floor commercial levels altered in a variety of unsympathetic ways, resulting in the loss of historic fabric.

VII. Building-bv-Building Inventorv

The following table lists all of the properties included in the proposed Upper Montclair Historic Business District. The table is sorted numerically by street address. Copies oflnventory Sheets for prope1iies are included in Appendix A.

A system of five categories was used to assess architectural and stree(scape qualities of each structure and is defined as "status" in the following table. 1'he following tern1s define these categories.

Kev - The tenn "Key" is applied to those buildings which possess distinct architectural and histo1ical significance, and which act as landmarks within the architectural mat1ix of the district.

Contributing - "Contributing" refers to buildings dating from the period of the District's significance (1880s-1930s) which have some architectural and/or historical importance, or which visually contribute to the cohesiveness of the District's streetscapes.

Harmonizing - "Hannonizing" buildings are those from a later dating period.

Harmonizing (altered)·- "Ham1onizing (altered)" buildings are those dating from the period of the District's significance (1880s-!930s) which have been significantly altered. Buildings in this category should undergo further investigation prior to Tax Act Certification.

Intrusion - "Intrusions" are buildings or sites which are from a later dating period and do not contribute to the cohesiveness of the District's streetscapes.

Exterior Description: This shingle style building is the second railroad station built to serve the commuters of Upper Montclair. The hipped roof which forms a deep overhang around the station building extends 4 bays south forming an open canopy above the platform. On the west elevation the roof with a pedimented half timbered gable extends as a porte-cochere, with paired square columns on all four sides; a rusticated stone wall forms the base of the outer columns while the inner columns sit on bases also of rusticated stone; heavy ridge tiles define the roof joints, forming decorative rounded finials at the corners and above the gable peak of the porte-cochere; a small dentil course defines the half timbered pediment of the porte-cochere and extends above the windows around the entire structure including the platform canopies; shingles with saw tooth edges mark the transition to clapboard on the exterior wall of the structure.

The left end of the edifice is dominated by a massive bell tower with buttressed corners and a castellated cap; the main entrance is set in a facet arch surround; stained glass lancets and a rose window pierce the wall surface of the original edifice immediately to the right of the tower; the polygonal wing abutting Valley Road is punctuated by D.H. windows with diamond shaped lights; a pinnacle like finial marks the roof ridge of the structure's right appendage; in this section of the structure, elbows indicate the roof wall boundary, Gibbs surrounds frame the windows; the rear elevation is distinguished by its collective Gothic/ Tudor Revival charactistics. Around 1919, alterations by F.A. Nelson were completed which resulted in the removal of the pyramidal roof of the belltower. Later additions to the structure were harmonious with the the original design, with the the msot recent addition consisting of the the Sunday school wing.

Exterior Description: This structure functioned as a Masonic Temple during its early years. An elbowed parapet conceals the gables roof, but suggests its pitch; a buttressed appearance is produced by the compound, pinnacled piers ornamenting the principal facades; a three sided balcony, resembling a partial oriel, projects from the front elevation; diminutive round arch panels, grouped or singular, form a punctuated band above the second level; the compound surrounds on the first level, although empahsizing segmental arch apertures, suggest pointed drop arches.

COMMUNITY MEETING

HOSTED BY: THE TOWNSHIP OF MONTCLAIR

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION

DATE AND TIME: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2006 AT 6-7:30 P.M.

LOCATION: ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH

PARISH HALL 581 VALLEY ROAD

(CORNER OF VALLEY ROAD AND BELLEVUE A VENUE)

·ontc1air 1-Iistoric Preservation Con1mission

April 7, 2006

Dear Property Owner:

205 Claremont Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042 Telephone: 97 3 509-4955 Fax. 973 509-4943

The Montclair Historic Preservation Commission is inviting you to a community meeting regarding the proposed establishment of the Upper Montclair Historic Business District as a local landmark district. Your property has not been nominated by the Commission, rather at this time the Commission is seeking the input of property owners who would comprise the proposed district.

The proposed Upper Montclair Historic Business District consists of a total of 103 individual lots; the southern edge of the district is proposed to end at the intersection of Valley Road and No1ihview Avenue at the site of a public park; the western edge of the district is proposed to end at the railroad tracks and would include the Upper Montclair Railroad Station; the northern edge of the district is proposed to end at the Kings Supennarket and would also run behind the structures on the northern side of Bellevue A venue; the eastern edge of the district is proposed to begin at the intersection of Norwood A venue and Bellevue A venue and would continue to the intersection of Cooper Avenue and North view A venue.

The variety of architectural styles that can be found in the district range from Colonial Revival, to Picturesque, to Georgian Revival, to Queen Alme. Additional structures in the Nee-Classical and Shingle styles contribute to the architectural distinctiveness of the district, while the core of the district is defined by a number of Tudor Revival style buildings. There are some 11 "Key Structures" present in the district, including the 20th C. Institutional with Classical Elements style Montclair Free Public Library, the Tudor Revival style Beilevue Theater, and the Picturesque style St. James Episcopal Church.

The Township of Montclair Historic Preservation Commission was created by ordinance in June of 1994, and oversees the Town Center Historic District and the Pine Street Historic District. Under the terms of Montclair's Historic Preservation Ordinance, owners of properties designated as landmarks must obtain a "Ce1iificate of Appropriateness" from the Historic Preservation Commission before making certain changes to their properties that are visible from the street These changes include alterations and additions to existing properties such as new signage, windows and storefronts, as well as demolition, relocation, and new construction.

The Commission looks forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Sincerely,

The Montclair Historic Preservation Commission

Historic district in the cards for 1st Ward Wednesday, April 26, 2006

Members of the Montclair Historic Preservation Commission, and 1st Ward Councilman Gerald Tobin met with residents last week to solicit their views on the proposed Upper Montclair Historic Business District.

The meeting was held in the Parish Hall of the St. James Episcopal Church, itself one of the proposed district's 11 key structures, and drew around 20 residents. There, Tobin explained the rationale behind the proposed designation.

"We value the village and we value the buildings," he said. "And one of the values of the village is the way it looks.

"People come from all over northern New Jersey to visit it."

However, as the assembled panel members explained to the audience, the idea of a historic district is neither to promote complete homogeneity nor to encourage a return to the streetscape of the 1890s.

"Nobody is going to say, 'This is what it looked like then, this how it has to look forever,"' said Tobin. "We are trying to preserve a general look to the place to carry forward into the future."

Indeed, should the township decide to designate its third area of historic significance - after the Town Center Historic District, anchored around Bloomfield Avenue, and the Pine Street Historic District, designated last year - it would mean another level of approval for property owners in the area wishing to make changes to their buildings.

Under the terms of Montclair's Historic Preservation Ordinance, property owners in the district would require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the HPC before making changes to their buildings that would be visible from a public right of way.
