This house was Built in 1895. It has a limestone foundation, pinewood floor boards, plaster and lathe walls, 2 slate mantle fireplaces, original stained glass windows, vintage locks, a patio and 3 large chandeliers. It currently has 13 rooms, 2 hallways, 2 porches a basement/laundry room, a detached garage, 2 bathrooms, a patio and an unused cistern. The garage and kitchen wing are additions circa 1920’s and 1 of the fireplaces is non-functional. We are unsure of the original owner, but a alarm clock was found in the walls that had the name “bollman” on it, and a photo from 1902 shows the house with a family standing in front of it, one can only assume they were the bollmans. There is no HVAC system in place but windows are compatible with AC units and there is a fireplace, a pellet stove and a boiler and radiators for heat. The front parlor boasts original stained glass windows and the foyer, common room and dining room have antique chandeliers. There is also original molding, plaster and lathe throughout the house. The bathroom has a large storage closet and the 2nd story bedrooms all have built in closets and the 3rd story bedroom has a game room, faux fireplace and weighted stained glass windows. There is also a beautiful original newel post and banister in the foyer. The windows are all compatible with shutters and have their original hardware. There is unfortunately some lead paint in the house but there is no asbestos. It has a new tarpaper roof that is water tight and is getting a kitchen renovation. The front porch is a beautiful sight with a candle chandelier, privacy drapes and a woven bench. The patio also has two grills, a picnic table and a retaining wall. The house had large pocket doors in between the dining room and parlor, but they were removed due to lead paint and damage. The basement is original limestone and it has a boiler, ash pit,laundry room, cistern, oil tanks and lots of storage. The basement has a flooding issue due to the proximity with the paulinskill river, but it has a pump to deal with it.The house also has a large ornamental pear tree and a large magnolia in front and a new cedar wood picket fence. It also has both a vegetable garden and a flower garden on the left side and a peach tree and driveway on the right. The 3rd story bedroom also has a window box. There are 4 holly bushes in front of the porch and 2 window boxes on the porch. There is also a rare architectural feature on the front of the house known as an extended gable end, my guess is it was a inexpensive substitute for the cooling tower seen on many Victorians, but I think it is just a defining feature of this house. This concludes the throughout analysis of the 26 east ave house or “Bollman” estate. If anyone has information on this house or it’s previous owners please contact the number 973-224-8719, as I would love to learn more about this beautiful Pearce of history.
