Millburn - 87 Elm Street

My family moved to Millburn, New Jersey, in 1951, and bought this house at 87 Elm Street in 1952. It is in the Wyoming section of Millburn, on a rather steep slope. I lived here while I was in high school, and it was my permanent home while I was in college, the Army, and graduate school.

 

The house has 2,800 sq.ft. (260 sq.m.), plus a basement. My father said that the house was built around 1909, by an architect as his own residence. Zillow.com says that it was built in 1925.

 

There is a screened porch on this end, which is enclosed in winter. My parents' bedroom was on this end. It had a window air conditioner, and was the only air-conditioned room in the house. As I remember, the house had steam heat with radiators. My bedroom was at the far end. The house has redwood shingles as siding. The house could hardly be seen from the street (or photographed) during the warm half of the year, because of all the trees.
