44 AT THE INTERSECTION OF
SUBVERSIVE AND SINCERE
Called “Bide-a-Wee” by its original owner,
this 1903 Early Classical Revival home is
anything but old-fashioned inside, thanks to
a major renovation by Premiere Contractors.
In spring, romance is in the air. And with it,
our story on three couples who found each
other while working, playing and
volunteering in town.

Montclair’s building boom took place
between 1880 and 1920. Here, three
venerable homes from that era have been
refurbished to varying degrees to bring
them into the twenty-first century.
Jake Silverstein, the editor of The New York
Times Magazine, brings a beyond-thebridge-and-tunnel freshness to the
Sunday publication.
