20 Fox Hill Lane, c. 1873-1881
Photograph
Photograph from the 1978 David Gibson survey of the Gardener's Cottage from the Hack Estate. The Hack house was built in c. 1872. This house was probably built at a later date and would have been used by the Estate's Superintendent (also described as Gardener).
The house was bought by Philip Osborne in 1940 from the Stone-Bound Co., who purchased it from Catherine and Stewart Hartshorn in 1939. Mr. Osborne hired the architect Charles Porter from East Orange to help him convert the cottage into a home.
The house appeared in an article in American Home magazine (June 1950).
