The Feltville Store/Church, at the Deserted Village of Feltville in Berkeley Heights, #NewJersey. This structure was built in 1845. The first floor housed a general store, the #Feltville post office, and possibly a storeroom. The second floor served as a chapel for religious worship. The #Adirondack style porch and the tower were added in the 1880s when the site was a resort called Glenside Park. Feltville was a self-contained company town from 1845-1860, centered around a mill. After 1860 it was abandoned for a short time before becoming the resort community of Glenside Park, which flourished until about 1916. In the 1920s, the property was purchased by the Union County Park Commission and incorporated into the Watchung Reservation. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #history #archi_ologie #architecture #oldhouse #oldhouselove #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #ushistory #americanhistory #jerseycollective #ipulledoverforthis #explorenj #berkeleyheights #berkeleyheightsnj #unioncountynj #watchungreservation #postoffice #postalproject #glensidepark #church #adirondackstyle (at Deserted Village Of Feltville)
