I was born in the Brinkerhoff House, 1946. The property was owned by my grandfather, Angelo Toriello, who owned Toriello Construction Co. The yard stored heavy construction equipment. The address back then was 34 Essex St. My grandfather passed in 1966. We moved out of the house in 1964. Graduated from HHS and moved to then East Paterson. Not sure when it was sold as I plan to go to the searching vault at the courthouse and research the chain of ownership. Subsequent visits by me to Hackensack showed the house renovated and the tenants were attorneys.
The building was originally used as a residence. James B. Bratt, one of the founders of the Bergen County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, lived there from 1912 to 1919. The photos of the house are located in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. The house was built during the Civil War, c. 1862. The car wash next door was owned by the Sanzari's. The current owner of the land is Court Plaza Associates, LLP. (1997) A Sanzari was one of the executives. (Since passed) I believe they purchased the land from the City of Hackensack.
