This 1909 Spanish Revival mansion is on the tour. |

The house tour starts at the registration tent at 551 Belvedere Avenue. |

551 Belvedere is the third house in from East 7th Street. |
Plainfielders have always loved house tours and visitors do, too. In fact, Plainfield is famous for the quality of its house tours. (We chose to move from Brooklyn to Plainfield after attending a house tour.)
Netherwood Heights Neighbors is hosting a house tour of outstanding examples in their neighborhood on Sunday, September 29.
 |
The hotel was featured on the group's 2016 Calendar. Each year a new one is produced and it always sells out. |
The neighborhood takes its name from the Netherwood Hotel, which was a famous 19th century resort formerly located in the heart of the neighborhood. (I have always been told the neighborhood's characteristics winding streets were built on the hotel's bridle paths.)
Though the massive red-brick Victorian hotel was destroyed by a fire, that disaster made possible the residential development which has given us this gem of a residential neighborhood -- complete with its very own train station.
Seven homeowners will graciously open their residences for the tour -- ranging from a 19th century farmhouse to an early 20th century Spanish Revival mansion; from a classic 1920s Tudor Revival to a fairytale cottage with magnificent landscaping.
People love to tour these homes, both to see what the owners have done with them, and to gather design and decoration ideas to use in their own homes.
The tour is from Noon to 4:00 PM on Sunday, September 29 -- rain or shine. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 the day of.
Tickets may be purchased in advance by check (payable to "Netherwood Heights Neighbors") or cash ONLY, at the following locations --
- The Coffee Box (1359 South Avenue)
- Swain Galleries (East 7th & Watchung Avenue)
- or online at: http://netherwoodheights.org/
Netherwood Heights Neighbors is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Proceeds of the tour will help Netherwood Heights Neighbors continue its community outreach, educational programs, and artifact preservation.
The tour starts at the registration tent at 551 Belvedere Avenue (see map above), where attendees will receive a program booklet and map.
