Building repairs (continued from page 5) his committee had used information gathered by the 1991 advisory group and continued their work by studying the input of professionals and laymen. Barto reported that the original portion of the old borough hall was built in 1856 and was used as a schoolhouse until the board of education sold the structure to the borough for $1 circa 1908. The schoolhouse portion of the building was designed by noted architect William Ranlett, who designed the 1847 Gothic Revival addition to The Hermitage on Franklin Turnpike. However, the committee found that subsequent additions to the old borough hall had obscured its distinctive architectural features, most notably the cupola on the roof of the old schoolhouse. Structural changes made it difficult for the building to qualify for historical designation. The old borough hall was reportedly the last example of Ranlett’s public architecture. Before the recommendation to raze the old borough hall was made, the committee was contacted by the Village Players. However, that theater group’s members reconsidered their use of the building after learning the old borough hall contained asbestos. Barto explained that charitable organizations that were interested in using the building would be required to post bond to cover demolition and asbestos care. The building was also considered for office condo construction, but a structural review indicated that the building was deficient. One footing under the old dais was reportedly located “on a rock.” The building was located in a floodway due to its proximity to the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook. As a result, officials said that if the building had been destroyed in an amount greater than 50 percent of its value, the building’s grandfathered location in the floodway would be nullified and the building could not be reconstructed on that site.
