Green Lake Farm: This brick house (in a distance shot), was - through the 1930's and 40's, late the property of then Senator Hamilton F. Kean (now Kean College, or more 'properly' Kean University). More a barn and workplace than a mere home, 50 Guernsey cows were here stabled in marble-paneled stalls, and they shared the lower portion of that 'barn' with the upstairs private library of the ex-Senator Kean in his retirement - along with NJ State records and many valuable volumes. Running the place as a hobby, Senator Kean delighted in his library above the cow barn and with his prize-winning chickens, which also shared the premises. This was thus the center of what was once a large work-field and acreage for some localized heavy-duty farming and upkeep. Posted by Picasa
