Alnwick Hall, Gothic Revival manor in Morris Township, United States
Alnwick Hall is a stone manor built in the Gothic Revival style, featuring ornate details and architectural characteristics of this period. The building stands out for its steep roofs, pointed arches, and decorative elements typical of late Gothic Revival design.
Edward P. Meany, an executive at American Telephone and Telegraph Company and Judge Advocate General of New Jersey, commissioned construction of this manor in 1904. The building was erected during a period when wealthy business leaders were settling along Madison Avenue.
The house was part of a collection of grand estates that lined Madison Avenue in the early 1900s, when wealthy families made this street their home. The neighborhood reflected the prosperity of the time and attracted successful businesspeople.
The building is now known as The Abbey and operates as office space along Madison Avenue. The location is easy to reach from Morris Township and provides good views of the Gothic design from the street level.
Architect Percy Griffin drew inspiration from Alnwick Castle in Northumberland and created an interpretation of an English medieval castle in New Jersey. The design was a deliberate reference to the famous 14th-century British stronghold.
