Monmouth County Historical Association Seeks Help Identifying Old Homes
The Library and Archives of Monmouth County Historical Association is looking for help identifying historic homes in Freehold.
Susan Winter, a local Monmouth County artist, created over 500 sketches of historic properties in our area. These sketches appeared in Greater Media newspapers during the 1990s. Monmouth County Historical Association has received a donation of over 150 of these original sketches, many of which can be traced to a particular town and address.
However, there are a ten properties that cannot be identified. Most of these sketches would have appeared in the Freehold Transcript, which covers the towns of Colts Neck, Englishtown, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Manalapan and Marlboro.
Photos of the house sketches can be found on Monmouth County Historical Association's Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mcha1898/sets/72157629093249176/
If you recognize any of these houses, please leave your comments below or on the Flickr page.
