Allaire State Park – Historic Village

Location: 4265 Atlantic Ave, Wall Township, NJ 07727

Project description:

The block of row houses was originally constructed in 1832 and completed the following year. This row house was the largest and would have housed the skilled workers and their families. Rents for the housing were usually $1 or $2 dollars a month. One row house might be home to 10 or more individuals. The first floor was the living quarters. The second floor would have been used for sleeping quarters. The remainder of this building features a modern Visitor Center and contains the village’s museum that gives an overview of James P. Allaire’s businesses, the Howell Iron Works Company, the iron-making process at the village, and the multifaceted industrialist and entrepreneur that was James P. Allaire. Allaire Village was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 1974.
