HPO Project# 11-1547-7 HPO E2012-033 PROD Page 5 of 10 education in Chatham Township and the justification of eligibility concludes: "For its association with the history of public education in Chatham, and as [a] representative example of early twentieth century school architecture, the Southern Boulevard School is recommended eligible under Criterion A as well." The S.G. Milosy Greenhouses, 1325 Terrill Road, Scotch Plains Township, are described as a series of commercial greenhouses constructed circa 1925 with later additions and alterations dating from the 1930s. The facility includes a "two-story, brick main block on the south" and a "power plant on the north" with a work shed between them and greenhouses extending "from both sides of the work shed, with 4 large buildings on the northeast and 11 smaller greenhouses on the southwest." The power plant has "an attached, tapered cylindrical brick smokestack with the name Milosy laid in glazed brick on its west side." The significance statement concludes that, because the S.G. Milosy Greenhouses are "architecturally significant as a representative, intact example of greenhouses constructed between 1925 and 1939, primarily for the cultivation of orchids," the property is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places at the local level of significance under Criterion C. Sea Captain Brown's House, 1391 Raritan Road, Scotch Plains Township, is described as a locally significant example of a two-thirds Georgian house with kitchen wing constructed circa 1775. Because it has retained "notable elements of the style," and "the design reflects its original appearance, and the survival of interior features including five-corner fireplaces, a cooking hearth, and wainscoting is notable," the justification of eligibility concludes that Sea Captain Brown's House is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C. The survey form also notes that the house may have additional significance under Criterion A for its association with the Revolutionary War in the Scotch Plains, "in particular the hardships suffered by local residents as British and American troops passed through the area in 1777, culminating with the Battle of Short Hills." Mount Saint Mary Academy, 1645 Route 22 West, Watching Borough, is described as "an outstanding example of a Beaux Arts style educational facility

in 1777, culminating with the Battle of Short Hills." Mount Saint Mary Academy, 1645 Route 22 West, Watching Borough, is described as "an outstanding example of a Beaux Arts style educational facility and as a representative work of William A. Boring, a noted architect and architectural educator." The base survey forms describes Mount Saint Mary Academy as an "academic campus comprised of The Mount, a three story [Beaux Arts style building with a low pitched hipped roof and right faced stone walls] building with basement constructed in 1908 and rebuilt after a fire in 1912; Gabriel Hall (1913); the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception (1955); Saint Joseph Hall (1960); and the House of Prayer (1908)." Additional buildings on the campus include McCauley Hall (circa 1965), a gymnasium (circa 1980), athletic stadium (2008), and landscaped gardens. The Mount and Gabriel Hall are located along the south face of First Watchung Mountain. William A. Boring, a prominent New York area architect, designed numerous public and private office and commercial buildings and residential estates in the New York City region, including the East Orange Municipal Building and, in partnership with Edward L. Tilton, the United States Immigration Station at Ellis Island. Boring also taught architecture at Columbia University and, in 1931, became the school's first Dean of the School of Architecture. The justification of eligibility concludes that Mount Saint Mary Academy is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C in the area of architecture because The Mount is "a representative example of a Beaux Arts style educational institution and the work of William A. Boring, a notable architect working in New York City from 1891-1915. It
