157 Village Road, Harding Twp. - NJ Real Estate Homes for Sale
Hidden Pond Farm, located in bucolic Harding Township, is a classic neo-Georgian estate set amidst unspoiled countryside, winding roads and rolling hills. Approached via a sweeping driveway, the residence is a grand and regal presence on 43.61 farm-assessed acres. Originally built in 1927 as a summer retreat for a prominent attorney and private counsel to John D. Rockefeller Jr., this home was meticulously and painstakingly renovated by its current owners. Today, this extraordinary estate home offers every amenity for the modern family with graciously proportioned rooms- many opening onto intimate outdoor spaces. Staying true to its beginnings as a working farm, there are several dependencies on the property including a free-standing four-bedroom house and two-stall barn with adjacent three-bedroom apartment, four-car garage and heated kennel. Highlights of the magical grounds include a magnificent peony walkway, pumpkin patch, handsome bluestone terraces and enchanting perennial gardens with stone walls. An inground pool and brick patio framed by manicured lawns is the quintessential outdoor entertaining space.
The main residence features 24 rooms with eight bedrooms, six full baths, three powder rooms and ten fireplaces complete with antique mantles spanning three floors; there is also a finished lower level. An attached three-car garage is heated. Eleven foot ceilings throughout the formal rooms on the main floor, marble and limestone flooring as well as 18” walls detailed with intricate plaster moldings all add to the home’s history and timeless elegance.
A marble entry vestibule and inviting foyer welcomes you into the residence. Many of the main floor rooms including the formal living room, dining room and library flow gracefully from the entry foyer. Of special note is the custom hand-painted Chinese Gracie wallpaper in the dining room; an antique chandelier hangs overhead. The formal rooms as well as the more casual garden room and breakfast room all open onto a wrap-around bluestone terrace through French doors. Artfully designed transitional spaces surprise at every turn- a small circular foyer leads into the walnut paneled library- a round marble foyer contains the main staircase that leads upstairs.
The gourmet kitchen is a delight and features cabinetry by the premium cabinet maker Smallbone of Devizes. Floors are detailed with reclaimed floor tiles from France; Carrera marble countertops, classic subway tile backsplash and top-of-the-line appliances are other highlights. An adjoining dining area opens out to a lovely bluestone terrace through French doors while a well-appointed butler’s pantry with subzero refrigerator and two warming drawers adjoins the gourmet kitchen on the other side. A family room, mud room, flower room currently used as an office with a private entrance and two powder rooms complete the main floor.
A tranquil master bedroom suite is located on the second floor and features two fireplaces, octagonal sitting room, private balcony and spa-like en suite bathroom. There are also four additional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a sewing room. Completing the second floor is an additional three bedroom, two bath wing and a wrapping room with built-in cabinetry. The third floor features an expansive exercise room, spacious walk-in cedar closet and ample storage areas. Focal points of the finished lower level with handsome coffered ceiling include a generously-sized recreation room with fireplace and a 3,000 bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar.

BBC News - Storm Sandy- Transport chaos as floods recede
At least 40 people have been killed, millions are without power and transport across the north-eastern US has been severely disrupted as storm Sandy heads north for Canada.
In New York City, 18 people have been killed and the public transport system remains closed until further notice.
More than 15,000 flights were cancelled, the flight-tracking website FlightAware estimates.
Earlier, Sandy killed more than 60 people as it hit the Caribbean.
Sandy brought a record storm surge of almost 14ft (4.2m) to central Manhattan, well above the previous record of 10 feet (3m) during Hurricane Donna in 1960, the National Weather Service said.
The storm was causing heavy snowfalls over the Appalachian mountains on Tuesday afternoon. It was expected to turn towards western New York state during the evening before moving into Canada on Wednesday, the forecaster said.

The Life and Adventures of Nat Love by Nat Love | Audio book with subtitles
The Life and Adventures of Nat Love
Nat LOVE
Nat Love was born a slave, emancipated into abject poverty, grew up riding the range as a cowboy and spent his maturity riding the rails as a Pullman Porter. For me, the most amazing thing about him is that despite the circumstances of his life, which included being owned like a farm animal solely because of the color of his skin and spending later decades living and working as an equal with white coworkers, he was an unrepentant racist! Convinced that the only good Indian was a dead one, and that all Mexicans were greasers and/or bums, he rarely passed up a chance to shoot a member of either group, whether in self-defense or cold blood, and shows no sign of having appreciated the difference. At one point, he fell in love with a Mexican girl but, apparently unable to tolerate this reality, considered her Spanish. Nat Love was a fascinating character who lived in equally interesting times, and one only wishes his autobiography was much longer and more detailed. summary by ohsostrange

Walden Audiobook by Henry David Thoreau | Audiobooks Youtube Free | Part 2
Walden by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau’s life for two years, two months, and two days around the shores of Walden Pond. Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. Along with his critique of the civilized world, Thoreau examines other issues afflicting man in society, ranging from economy and reading to solitude and higher laws. He also takes time to talk about the experience at Walden Pond itself, commenting on the animals and the way people treated him for living there, using those experiences to bring out his philosophical positions. This extended commentary on nature has often been interpreted as a strong statement to the natural religion that transcendentalists like Thoreau and Emerson were preaching. (Description amended from Wikipedia).

Symposium of Architectural History The Whiteness of 19th Century American Architecture
This symposium examines the racial discourses that subtended American Architecture movements during the long nineteenth century. Explore this site to learn more about the specific themes, case studies and speakers that will be featured at this event. The Whiteness of American Architecture is organized by Charles Davis II, UB assistant professor of architecture.
About the symposium
“The Whiteness of 19th Century American Architecture” is a one-day symposium in architectural history organized by the School of Architecture and Planning at the University at Buffalo. This symposium is an outgrowth of the Race + Modern Architecture Project, an interdisciplinary workshop on the racial discourses of western architectural history from the Enlightenment to the present.
Participants
- Professor Mabel O. Wilson, Columbia GSAPP
- Dianne Harris, senior program officer at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
- Joanna Merwood-Salisbury, architectural historian
- Kathryn ‘Kate’ Holliday, architectural historian
- Charles Davis, assistant professor of architectural history and criticism at the University at Buffalo
Race + Modern Architecture Project
Race + Modern Architecture logo
The “Whiteness & American Architecture” symposium continues the research that began with the Race + Modern Architecture Project, a workshop conducted at Columbia University in 2013. The forthcoming co-edited volume, Race and Modern Architecture presents a collection of seventeen groundbreaking essays by distinguished scholars writing on the critical role of racial theory in shaping architectural discourse, from the Enlightenment to the present. The book, which grows out of a collaborative, interdisciplinary, multi-year research project, redresses longstanding neglect of racial discourses among architectural scholars. With individual essays exploring topics ranging from the role of race in eighteenth-century, Anglo-American neoclassical architecture, to 1970s radical design, the book reveals how the racial has been deployed to organize and conceptualize the spaces of modernity, from the individual building to the city to the nation to the planet.
Sponsors
- Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture - Columbia University
- Darwin D. Martin House Complex - Buffalo, NY
- School of Architecture - Victoria University of Wellington
- UB Humanities Institute - University at Buffalo, SUNY
- School of Architecture and Planning - University at Buffalo, SUNY
Purpose and Themes
Our symposium will outline a critical history of the white cultural nationalisms that have proliferated under the rubric of American Architecture during the long nineteenth century. This theme will be explored chronologically from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century and regionally from representative avant-garde movements on the East Coast to the regionalist architectural styles of the Midwest and West Coast. Such movements included the neoclassical revivals of the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, the Chicago School of Architecture and the Prairie Style, the East Bay Style on the West Coast, the Arts & Crafts movement across the continent, and various interwar movements that claimed to find unique historical origins for an autochthonous American style of building.
The five architectural historians in attendance have been charged with providing some preliminary answers to the central question of these proceedings:
What definitions of American identity have historically influenced the most celebrated national architectural movements of the long nineteenth century, and how was this influence been manifested in the labor relations, ideological commitments and material dimensions of innovative architectural forms?
