Winfield Ave

There are so many homes in Harrison to see and learn about. One noteworthy home is known as the Hadden-Margolis House, located at 61 Winfield Ave. This house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places after an application made in January 2008 was approved in March 2008. On this 40-page submission [1] to the National Park Service, detail is given to the colonial era features that would prove its claim of being built in the mid to late 18th century. What is notably missing from this submission is any documentation from the Town Assessor, who records this house as being built in 1907. [2] No matter who is right in their claims, there is no doubt that is colonial era dwelling is worthy of its national recognition. Past notable owners are the first County Executive, William F. Bleakley. [3]

Other houses on this street built even earlier than the Hadden-Margolis house according to the Town Assessor’s records. Also visibly featuring colonial era features like the Hadden-Margolis home, you will see homes built in 1777, [4] and 1747. [5]
