Congratulations! 2022 Award Winners 59 Buena Vista Avenue Jennifer and Andrew Marrus – Restoration and Rehabilitation Under architect E. 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.

Has served over 13 years as Executive Director of the Monmouth County Historical Commission in Freehold is currently Commission Vice-Chair.

When our Commission first embarked on the mission to catalog and review our town’s inventory of historic and significant buildings it was a large undertaking to say the least. 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.
