Landscaped grounds at 8.5 miles, where the roadbed becomes two lanes of
concrete, are the beginning of a real-estate development.
In this section of more or less friendly homes, a grim, RED BRICK
CASTLE (private) rises out of a picket and wire-fenced estate at 9.8 miles.
(L). Turreted like an arsenal, the three-story building was built more than
50 years ago by George B. Vanderpool. The estate, a maze of wire fences,
is patrolled by a uniformed guard; the wealthy Wall Street speculator gave
full expression to his personality in the old towers and the sunken garden
reached by marble steps.
At 10 miles the road crosses Passaic River on DAY'S BRIDGE, a concrete
and steel structure at the place where the Revolutionaries crossed to give
battle to the British at Springfield in June 1780.
