About Maxfield Engine House & NJ Highlands Coalition
MAXFIELD ENGINE HOUSE
The Center for the Study of Cities and Small Towns (CSST) Foundation renovated the firehouse according to a preservation study done by researchers from Penn Praxis at the Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania. Constructed in 1893 by civic-minded Boonton citizens led by then City Council president, Esli B. Dawson, great, great grandfather of CSST board members Ryan Dawson of Mendham and Rebecca Birch of New York City, the firehouse occupies a prominent location in the center of Boonton, NJ’s Main Street Historic District. It has served a variety of functions since the town’s fire engines became too large for its original use.
