You can't be too careful. Report Any Suspicious Activity All residents are urged to notify the Police Department at (732) 842-0500 of any suspicious activity suspicious persons, or suspicious vehicles immediately. Don't wait!

Never Disclose Personal Information You should never give out personal information over the telephone or on the Internet. No information on family members, schools, workplace, or financial or credit card information should be revealed. It is also strongly recommended that parents monitor their children's (and teen's) computer activity. Numerous crimes against children begin through introductions on the Internet. Be alert and aware to protect yourselves and your family. Home Security Surveys Our crime prevention officers will be happy to conduct home security surveys at the request of our residents.

26334522-f3a6-4556-af8d-d8adcc89633d < Back Architectural Style Guideline 001 | American Eclectic As many of the homes in Rumson were designed and built by successful people who were more able than most to travel the world and see the wonders of the architecture in other places, it should come as no surprise that many of the homes in Rumson are in fact American Eclectic in one way or another. The American Eclectic Style is a composite style that honors the influences of the classic styles of the past and incorporates one or more of those styles into a refined and restrained fresh interpretation. The eclectic style should not be confused with the hodgepodge designs sometimes called McMansions. These homes are sophisticated and beautiful. 002 | American Bungalow Style Emerging on the American scene between the years of 1905 and 1930, this style of home was intended to serve the need for travelers and young home owners, who sought easy-to-build, one-story structures of natural materials. First introduced by the British to India, this Bengalian home (thus the term Bungalow) was characterized by single one-story structures with low-pitched roofs, small interior compartments and copious porches for outdoor leisure. A wide variety of sub-genres became indicative of their regional expression including the California Bungalow, the Colonial Revival Bungalow, the Spanish Bungalow, and the Chicago Bungalow, to name a few. Their presence and popularity expanded quickly in the North-East United States with the introduction of easy-to-build kits, from companies such as Sears, Roebuck and Company and quickly followed by other distributing entities. The Bungalow is usually a longer than wide one story house with a moderately pitched roof with a porch on the front of the building. The original design was to provide shade before air conditioning. They were usually designed to fit on narrow lots. The porch columns are often square tapered and mounted on brick or stone piers. The front is usually symmetrical with the front door in the center. Decoration is minimal. The trim of the doors and window is usually flat with a bed molding and cap at the top. 003 | American Foursquare From the 1890’s into the 1930’s, the foursquare home was a popular building style due to its economy and utilization of space. The foursquare house was perfect for small lots and was relatively inexpensive to build. Typically, the foursquare had a basement with two and one half stories that were capped with a hip roof and a monitor dormer. A monitor dormer is a dormer where the roof pitch is the same as the main roof. The layout was usually symmetrical and box-like. They also typically had front porches. 005 | Early American Colonial The term Early American Colonial is used to describe a house that is typically on a narrow lot therefore limiting the width of its front façade. They are usually symmetrical in the front with the exception of the front door which is often offset. The floor plan is often “L” shaped with a wraparound porch on the first level. The roof is typically gabled with valleys and the pitch of the roof is typically between ten or twelve inches of rise to twelve inches of run. 006 | Federal The Federal Style is usually symmetrical, although some of the homes are narrow and the door on the first floor throws off the balance. The style is known for being refined and restrained. Elaborate decoration is shunned. Walls are usually plain and flat. The entry door however is often surrounded with an elliptical transom, sometimes with sidelights. Windows were generally the double hung sash type. Since glass was available in larger sizes, the windows featured larger divided lights with one inch wooden muntin bars. If a Palladian window was used, it was more delicate than in some other styles and would normally be found over the front entranceway. The roof system on the Federal style is one of a very low pitched or flat roof, often not even visible from the street. 007 | French Norman The French Norman Style is typified by the hipped roof system that often projects far past the walls. The homes take their cues from the typical French farmhouses. The homes are usually but not always symmetrical in plan, but the most recognizable feature is the roof system. 008 | Greek Revival This Hellenistic and more notably Jeffersonian 18th and 19th Century movements flourished in the United States as an image of Democracy, derived from the spirit of Greece. Homes of this style synthesized the detail and expression of stately public buildings. Her employment of stucco, wood, columns and pilasters, all painted or detailed to resemble the stone of her Hellenic roots all contribute to this enduring American style. 009 | Italianate Influenced by the English Picturesque and Associationist Movements, this style borrowed (or associated with), the imagery of the 16th Century Italian Renaissance as well as the indigenous freedom of the Italian Countryside. Its American proliferation found a separation from its Italian formalism, embracing its use of natural materials, low-pitched roof profiles, projecting cornice lines, small porches and opulent craftsmanship. 010 | Queen Anne The Queen Anne Style is typically asymmetrical and it distinguished from other styles by the appearance of turrets, towers, articulated walls, steep roof systems incorporating hips, gables and valleys and porches or verandas that wrap around; sometimes with attached gazebos. Queen Anne homes also featured other accents such as knee braces and brackets and some types of scroll work. Some of the more elaborate spindles and factory lathe turned posts were influenced by the architect Charles Eastlake. It can get confusing as some of these adornments were added to other style homes as the trend became very popular. (An example of this is 18 Allen St with the large turned posts and brackets on a house that is essentially a center hall colonial). 011 | Renaissance Revival The Renaissance Revival period between approximately 1840 -1890 is modeled after the palaces in Italy from the sixteenth century during the Italian Renaissance. The building appears as a symmetrical block of very orderly elements with the center entrance given more importance and weight that the flanking sides. The roof is nearly invisible in most cases as it is often of very low pitch or flat. The windows usually have different trim applications, particularly; changing pediments for each story and often including an attic story of smaller windows. 012 | Second Empire This Napoleonic French influenced style, popularized between 1855 and the mid 1880’s, displayed its characteristic Mansard Roof structures, square dome formulation and tower structures in both asymmetrical and symmetrical plan configurations. Adorned with balustrades, quoins, iron detailing, slate shingle roof materials, her elaborate and prominent configurations were the fashionable expression of the affluent in the United States. Borrowing heavily from the past, her prosperous owners, eclectically chose the best from a multitude of styles and formalized this expression into a cohesive French vocabulary. 013 | Shingle Influenced by the New England School of Architecture, the Shingle Style emerged as a truly American style in the Northeastern United States between the years of 1874 and 1910. Its use of natural materials and asymmetrical form, fostered a synthesis between the structure and her natural environment. Although this movement borrowed freely from Victorian and Queen Anne Styles, decoration and application were shunned, favoring freedom of form, asymmetric volume and personal expression of wealth, fashion and freedom. 014 | Stick The Stick Style is a distinctively American, late 19th Century style that sought to express an image of the materials used for the building’s underlying structure. These predominantly wood structures employed decorative wood trim known as “Stick Work” to reflect her structural framework. Stick Style houses were almost always asymmetrical, ornamented and defined by her wood detailing, wood patterning and steeply pitched gabled roof structures. 015 | Tudor Revival The Tudor Revival Style evolved from the early style of the Jacobean period in England. The Tudor revival is most easily recognized by the steep roofs, half-timbered walls with an infill of brick or stucco, massive chimneys, and leaded glass windows. The windows are usually casement types and the muntins are often diamond patterned. Some of the more prominent homes have stone mullions and also tracery around the windows. The style has also been interpreted in some wood frame structures that mimic the steep pitches, arches and round top doors, and occasionally the distinct “Tudor arch” (essentially an elliptical arch that tents at the center.) Side note: the arch over the lower right hand window on Joe Hemphill’s boyhood home is this type. 016 | Victorian According to author Will Jones in his book “How to Read Houses”, the Victorian Style coincided with the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and, as in Georgian architecture, it is a style rather than a design type. There are sub-genres incorporated into the Victorian Style including Queen Anne, Gothic Revival and Italianate to name a few, but what all Victorian Style homes have in common is a break away from the rigid symmetry of the Georgian, Greek Revival, Federal and Colonial Revival buildings. Many of our Early American Style homes in Rumson have incorporated some of the decorative design elements; especially filigree, gingerbread trim along with other fretwork and ornate railing details. 017 | Shingle Style Over Richarsonian Romanesque 017 | Shingle Style - Presbyterian Church

Harris James, the French Norman style home located at 59 Buena Vista Avenue, which was built in 1893, has been carefully preserved, and in some circumstances replicated, by the Marrus family. It was not long after purchasing the home in 2018 that the Marrus family began its thoughtful and careful renovations to preserve the integrity and history of the Jacob Schiff estate, which was originally a stable and carriage house before being converted to a residential home in the 1950s. The clock tower and courtyard, with original stonework, sits centered between the north and the south buildings of the property. The north building was a former stable with staff apartments, while the south building was the original Schiff Carriage House. 2019 Award Winners 39 First StreetKaren and Bob Austin – Stewardship The Stewardship Award is defined as the effective ongoing maintenance and care of properties of historic and/or architectural significance. Each year the Rumson Historic Preservation Commission honors a project and/or individual for their contribution to the preservation of Rumson’s historic resources. For an historic property to be eligible, it must be listed on the Historic Property Inventory located on the Borough web site. Nominations for the award are judged on the basis of exterior appearance only. The home was built about 1865, and for years Mr. Austin’s grandparents and family traveled by steamboat from Hoboken to rent this house for the summer. In 1924, Mr. Austin’s grandmother, then a widow, purchased the home. It was passed down to his father and then to himself. He and his wife have restored the interior in keeping the age of the house, with open beam ceilings, plank floors and fireplace. The exterior has been shingled over clapboard and period-style 6-over-6 windows added. An addition was added to the north side of the house. Most recently, a brick walkway and antique iron gate at the front of the house was added to the period style. 2018 Award Winners 86 Buena Vista Avenue – “Box Lawn” John and Kristen Hall – Restoration/Rehabilitation Older structures where major original features have been carefully preserved or replicated for original use John and Kristen purchased 86 Buena Vista Avenue, also known as “Box Lawn” in 2013 Built in the 1880s, Box Lawn was primarily a summer home By 2013, the exterior had fallen into extreme disrepair. Exterior siding was removed by the Halls and new cedar shingles installed on the entire home and garage. New wooden windows installed and metal sliding doors were replaced with period wooden doors. Exterior iron railings were removed and replaced with a weather resistance engineered wood railings to match the original wooden railing of the wrap around porches. In order to gain access to the veranda, custom mahogany storm doors were made to replace the fixed storm windows that covered the original chestnut doors in the parlor. Additionally, there has been extensive renovation on the interior of the home and new landscaping on the property. The Commission is pleased to have residents who are committed to preserving our historic properties Roberta H.

Mr. Gabrielan’s books were invaluable as a resource, both as a reference and an architectural style guide. We owe Mr Gabrielan a great debt of gratitude for the passion and commitment to the history of not only Rumson, but many of our surrounding towns. 90 West River Road John and Marjorie Tedesco – Stewardship Property at 90 West River Road is owned by John and Marjorie Tedesco. Three buildings dating back to 1889 exist on the property: Carriage House/Ballroom, working Carousel in the old stables and a Guest House containing a private chapel. Architect for the estate was William Welles Bosworth of Bosworth & Holden in New York, who designed the buildings for Edwin Drexel Godfrey. Godfrey who was tied by marriage to the Hoaglands who owned Auldwood , a magnifient estate in Rumson. While the original main house on the property was lost in a fire, the Tedesco’s rebuilt a beautiful home on the property twenty-five years ago. Fortunately, the 1889 buildings remained and have been painstakingly restored and maintained by the Tedesco’s. Rumson is fortunate for the dedication and commitment of stewardship that has preserved a part of Rumson history when large and magnificent estates were abundant. 30 Lafayette Street Jon and Lauren Carras – Sympathetic/Sensitive Addition 30 Lafayette Street in Rumson is a Victorian home built in 1887. When Jon and Lauren Carras bought it in 2011, the home had fallen into disrepair. The plaster walls were caving in, the porch was starting to collapse and the home needed a total gut renovation. Looking to expand the home, the Carras’ designed an addition that would seamlessly incorporate a third turret on the back of the house to mirror the two original ones on the front of the house. The home was stripped of all siding and the addition was added to the back of the home. Then new cedar shingles were put up so that the home had a uniform look that would age appropriately and wouldn’t look like an addition was ever done in the first place. As a finishing touch, gaslights were added on both sides of the original front door to flicker beneath the stained glass windows that may have been taken out of a local church when the home was being built. The Historic Preservation Commission would also like to thank Jon and Lauren Carras and John and Marjorie Tedesco for their hospitality and tours of their respective properties.
