Preservation award (continued from page 3) forming a group with two dozen young students in support of the Fell House. She also praised Allendale Mayor Vince Barra for his crucial support. The Fell House had been slated for demolition, with 11 townhouses to be built on the property, until the CCA mobilized the community, and the developer withdrew. The house, named after Founding Father and Revolutionary War hero John Fell, has many layers of historical and architectural significance, beginning with Fell’s original frame house. Fell was arrested at the house by British sympathizers in 1777 and was imprisoned in New York City for more than eight months – where he kept a secret journal that documented the horrendous conditions in the Provost Jail. Fell was a member of the Second Continental Congress and later helped to obtain ratification of the U.S. Constitution. His family donated some of the money to build the wall that gave Wall Street its name 100 years before he took part in the American Revolution. Other occupants of the house included the Cables, Ackermans, and Taylors. The 2010 Awards were presented by Bergen County Executive Dennis McNerney, Members of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Historic Preservation Advisory Board and the Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs. ��������������������������� ������������������������������������������ ���������������� The Villadom TIMES will be publishing a special supplement on June 9 honoring West Bergen Center for Children & Youth and its ongoing services to meet the needs of mentally ill children in our community.
