SADDLE RIVER HISTORIC 1835 BISHOP HOUSE
NEW JERSEY -
ALMOST COMPLETE!
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places,
the 1835 Bishop House is a striking example of Colonial architecture.
We are honored to be selected by the Borough to convert the Bishop House,
fallen into disrepair, into a Community and Cultural Center
for the residents of Saddle River.
As recipients of the NJ State Historic Preservation Award,
and in Gus’ role as former Chairman of the Saddle River Landmarks Commission,
our extensive experience prepared us to restore the Bishop House
with historic accuracy to meet the needs of modern times.
Leaking roof, sagging floors and broken ceilings characterized the Bishop House before we Transformed both the exterior and interior,
using historically-sensitive contemporary finishes
to create a large, open public meeting space with a coffered ceiling.
We also restored all the main rooms on the first floor
and added to the dining room French doors that lead to a patio and garden.
We have had a long, creative history with the Borough of Saddle River,
and we look forward to seeing the interior details of this significant project
come to fruition!
We created for our clients, a Fortune 100 CEO and his wife,
an intricately detailed staircase with decks on several levels
to take them from the main floor of their home to the pond below.

We are known for our fastidious detailing, exemplified in this magnificent home by walnut-blasted oak paneling and built-ins that we designed
to enhance the family’s entertainment space.
