On Schraalenburgh Road stood the old stone house lpictured abovel which was then used as a tavern. About the year 1907 the old stone house was demolished, and a frame dwelling house was erected on the site a little to the southwest of the intersecting roads. ln l923 the property was acquired by the Bergenfield Board of Education and the house was moved in order to pro- vide for the erection of the Harding School which, with recent additions, has become our Junior- senior high school building,
