Date
August 11, 1884

Description
Photograph showing a group portrait of Marriott C. Morris' parents Elliston P. Morris and Martha Canby, siblings Samuel Buckley Morris and Elizabeth Canby Morris, and Anne Emlen and Mary Emlen next to a tree in Allaire, N.J. Elliston Morris stands, Mary Emlen and Elizabeth Morris lean against the tree and the others lounge in the grass. Each person looks in a different direction. The print is mounted on a cream colored board with a gold border. James P. Allaire (1785-1858) founded the Allaire Iron Works Company (later Howell Iron Works) in 1815. Allaire, New Jersey became a factory town for the company that built engines for steamboats circa 1824. The row homes for workers were completed in 1833, the blast furnace was made in 1831, and the Episcopalian church was built 1832-1836. Financial difficulties and discovery of iron ore deposits in Pennsylvania closed the Company in 1850. In 1957, the land was bought by Allaire Village Inc. and turned into a historic village.
Notes
Photograph from negative number 343.
