• 343 Kip's Castle According to Preservation NJ, "Kip’s Castle estate, built in 1902, is a well-preserved example of the many country homes of wealthy industrialists that once dotted the hillsides of Essex County. The mansion and the carriage house are unique and splendid examples of the romantic, medieval-revival. The stone gates, retaining walls, serpentine drives, and gardens add to the composition, uniting it with the rugged site while allowing the natural character of the ridge to prevail. The structure is a Norman castle replica constructed of local trap rock trimmed with sandstone. Its huge corner turrets and walls are pierced with arches and deep-set windows. A large stone veranda, the roof of which is supported by round sandstone pillars, surrounds the front of the building. The massive, southeast turret can be seen from miles around. The interior woodwork of the Castle is of old English quarter-sawn oak. The front hallway has stained glass windows and contains a huge stone fireplace." Verona.
