The Northern New Jersey Chapter of the AIA gave Peck an award for service to architects in 2009, making her the first non industry person to be so honored. Peck emphasized the important roles that the Glen Rock Historical Society and the AIA have played in helping make Loven’s name more widely recognized. The architect’s daughter, Mimi Loven Mathey, recently made a gift of her father’s original plans. Those papers have since been sorted and filed for preservation by a dedicated group of local members and some volunteers from other towns. “The plans opened our eyes to even more Lovens,” said Peck. The group looks forward to publishing a list of known Loven works when more research has been completed. The booklet is available at the Glen Rock Library and may be downloaded from the Glen Rock Historical Society’s website, glenrockhistory.org. Historian (continued from page 5) Historial Nancy Atkins Peck earned an award for educating the public, for her booklet “Carl Kemm Loven: Designer of Dreams.” Loven, a well known architect from 1930 until his untimely death in 1965, lived in Glen Rock and designed many structures in Bergen County during its period of great growth. Peck wrote the booklet and has presented slide shows and a house tour on the architect’s work to familiarize the public with Loven’s creations. Peck notes that often the area builders were marketing, emphasizing, and promoting their own names, not those of the architects who designed the houses. As a consequence, homeowners often will cite a builder’s name, such as Cheel or Peterson, as the architect without knowing that Loven was the designer. Since Loven worked with just about all the major builders during that era, he often is not given proper credit for his designs. Peck has been working to give Loven credit for his unique designs and to help people recognize his work. That knowledge, she hopes, will encourage the preser- The three incumbent candidates, Carlo Cella III, Sheldon Hisrchberg, and Sanjiv Ohri, having been re-elected on April with one of their seats contested, were all sworn to new terms.
