President Cleveland's Cottage


Cleveland Park derives it's name from it's most illustrious resident, President Grover Cleveland. In 1886, Cleveland purchased a stone farmhouse on the South side of now Newark Street, directly opposite Rosedale, which served as the Cleveland's country home during his first term as President. the family "Victorianized" the house adding a red roof, extensive porches, towers, balconies, and a turret. The house was called, "Red Top," after its distinctive roof color. Red Top was razed in 1927.
