TILLOTSON'S DIRECTORY
1900

Back to Table of Contents

The TILLOTSON'S Englewood and Northern Valley Directory was printed in 1900. The Directory is a hard copy book containing 290 pages. The contents of the directory is a listing, by town, of the names and occupations, home and business addresses of the people living in the town at that time. If an asterisk is by the name it indicates that the person is between the ages of eighteen and twenty one. In some cases, the table of contents explains, some people refused to give their name, etc.

The publisher was Joseph H. Tillotson. It was printed by the Englewood "Press Print" at No. 16 Engle Street, Englewood, New Jersey. The Editor was Walter W. Concklin.

The photo shown here is of the Cresskill Rail Road Station circa 1900. Seen behind the horse and carrage is the Cresskill Lumber Co. To the right of the lumber company is the building that presently holds the Moose Head Pub. The railroad station was demolished in November 1970 and the grounds became part of present day Veterans Square. An original black & white print, printed from the original negative by Borough Photographer William Zimmer, is on display in the Cresskill Borough Hall at 67 Union Ave.


The painting, Cresskill's Railroad Station at Christmas time, as it appeared in the late 1800's, is by Mary and Barry Shiff. They presently operate "Nostalgic Art" in Fort Lee N.J. The building in the rear is the Prospect House, an inn that served railroad travelers well for many years. A full sized print of Cresskill's Railroad Station can be seen in the lobby of the Borough Hall at 67 Union Ave.

The communities listed in the Englewood and Northern Valley edition are as follows: Alpine, Bergen County Board of Agriculture, Bergen County Officials, Cliffside, Closter, Demarest, Edgewater, Englewood City, Englewood City Officials, Englewood City Street Guide, Englewood Cliffs, Englewood and Northern Valley Business Directory, Fairview, Fort Lee, Grand View, Highwood, Leonia, Nordhoff, Norwood, Palisade Park, Ridgefield, Teaneck, and Tenafly.
