PARK RIDGE, N.J.—Did you ever wonder why your home was built the way it was? Did you ever wonder why it looks the way it does? If you live in northern New Jersey you might be interested to find out.
Westwood architect William J. Martin, AIA, will be at the Pascack Historical Society on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. to present “A History of Home Construction in the Pascack Valley.” There is no charge for admission and everyone is welcome to attend.
Martin’s presentation spans from circa 1840 until the present day. From farmhouses to Victorians, from ranches to mcmansions, this detailed historical discussion will explain how social mores, economic factors and technological advances of different eras changed the way we built our homes.
A Q&A follows the talk. Feel free to bring along a photo of your home. There will be complimentary coffee and cake provided by PHS volunteers.
The Pascack Historical Society is at 19 Ridge Ave., Park Ridge. For more information call (201) 573-0307, email info@pascackhistoricalsociety.org, or visit pascackhistoricalsociety.org.
