Short Hills Congregational Church, unbuilt

Version 6.4 of the list (pdf) is up.

New are the references to Wheeler’s two tenements for John F. Gleason (a consolidation of references to Gleason and “Mr. Mason”; not sure whether Gleason is the famous billiards man of that name); the sports pavilion at the Berkeley Oval (not the same as the Berkeley Oval Cottage, apparently); and a flamboyant unbuilt design for Short Hills Congregational Church.

The strange disjunction between the number of houses apparently built in Henderson Place, thirty-two, and the repeated reference to the Lamb & Rich project as containing forty houses might be closer to a solution. It turns out that a year or so before work began, Lamb & Wheeler filed plans for a dozen houses on a plot adjoining the site to the west, on East 86th Street. A hospital has occupied that site since the early 1900s, and it is difficult to tell whether this original dozen was built. It seems doubtful.
