Finding History on Hackensack Home

(1/2) > >>

yx525:
I have a house in the fairmount section of hackensack.  If you dirve up and down streets like Elm, Ross, Clinton, Catalpa, etc. there are some really beautiful and well-kept homes. It would be great if hackensack could form some sort of organization that could recognize and doument these great historic homes.

Where would someone even find the history of their home? (original plans, original owners, etc.)
The Hackensack Library? City Hall?

Thanks for any information!

Editor:
If you tell me the address, I'll check the Bergen County Historic Site Survey that was revised in 2001. That's a good place to start. 

This is on the Bergen County Historical Society website:

New Jersey’s Historic Preservation Office brings expertise in a variety of fields essential to preserving historic resources. We count among our staff historians, researchers, planners, architectural historians, architects, and archaeologists. We respond to more than 40,000 calls yearly from people who are working to preserve, protect and promote our state’s historic resources.

Would this site have information on just everyday homes not "historic" homes?

Editor:
The Historic Site Survey is not online.  It is in printed form only.  It only lists homes that the Bergen County Division of Historic Cultural Affairs deemed "historic".

I don't think my home would be on that list.  I live on catalpa ave. and I was more curious about the previous owners and what the original plans for the home looked like.

Are there any catalpa ave. homes listed on that survey?
