Since its construction in 1908, Twin Maples has been a silent witness to history, some of it up close and very personal, including a 2008 top-to-bottom makeover.
In addition to a 6,500-square-foot mansion, the Twin Maples property in Summit, N.J., includes a carriage house that originally sheltered carriages and horses in two large bays for the home’s owner. More than 104 years later, the neoclassic structure designed by architect Alfred F. Norris is home to The Fortnightly Club of Summit, as well as a number of other organizations in the Summit area, and hosts a variety of private events throughout the year, thanks in large part to a renovation that coincided with the home’s 100th birthday.
