Glen Ridge Historic District

Glen Ridge Historic District, Historic residential district in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, United States.

Glen Ridge Historic District is a residential area in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, containing homes and buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The entire neighborhood shows how residential development unfolded across the municipality during this period.

The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and then expanded twice, in 1988 and 2013. These additions brought more neighborhoods north and south of Ridgewood Avenue under protection.

The district takes its name from Glen Ridge, the municipality incorporated in 1892, the same year the Glen Ridge train station was built in Victorian Gothic style. The Benson Street station followed in 1912. Both stations are part of the listed district, so a walk along the streets passes buildings tied to the town's rail-era growth.

The area is easy to explore on foot since homes are visible from public streets throughout the neighborhood. Walking at a relaxed pace allows you to notice the architectural details and differences between properties.

The district's boundaries were drawn and redrawn three times: the original 1982 listing, a 1988 increase, and a 2013 increase radiating north and south of Ridgewood Avenue. Both train stations, Glen Ridge and Benson Street, sit inside the listed area.
