Description

Montclair, New Jersey, like most American towns, has grown dramatically over the course of the last one hundred years. Much of the early 1900s landscape has been disguised, and the town has come to reflect the preferred styles and fashions of changing eras. Streets have been paved, the facades of commercial buildings have been up to date, and

homes have been altered to reflect recent tastes and accommodate brand new conveniences. This volume of approximately 2 hundred postcards from the writer’s collection, most never before published in book form, captures Montclair as it used to be within the early twentieth century. The reader will see familiar landmarks such as the Montclair Art Museum, the Marlboro Inn, and the Bellevue Theater as they at the beginning seemed, and discover the vanished predecessors of the Japanese-style mansion on Upper Mountain Avenue and the Rockcliffe Apartments off Crestmont Road.
