From the Project Overview: "...The Oakcroft Residential (Oakcraft) survey area consists of 104 properties. The Oakcraft survey area is located in Upper Montclair within Monclair Township, southwest of Bellevue Avenue, a commercial thoroughfare in Upper Montclair; the survey area is roughly bounded by Oakcroft Avenue, Parkside, North Mountain Avenue, and Brookfield Road and includes Princeton Place, Carteret Street, and Godfrey Road and a portion of Edgemont Road....The Oakcroft survey area includes residential buildings only, which were primarily constructed within the first 30 years of the 20th century to provide single-family residences on substantial lots to the growing middle and upper-middle classes that had moved to the region to take advantage of easy transportation to New York and Montclair's scenic beauty at the base of Second Mountain of the Watchung mountain range. The scope of work included a physical survey of the resources, photography, architectural descriptions, historic research, and determination of eligibility and significance/ The historic research was conducted at the Montclair Public Library, the Montclair Local History Center, as well as through several online sources." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P18AF00117).
