Although Maplewood’s houses span from 18th century homesteads to Mid-Century modern ranches, the majority were built in the streetcar-to-train-to-automobile period of suburbanization in the 1920s and 1930s. The most popular architectural styles in that era were the Colonial and Tudor Revival and the Craftsman. Surviving plantings and hardscapes may reflect this period or conflict with the house style. In this informative talk presented at 2:00 p.m. by Patricia Tratebas, experienced landscape designer & owner of Cottage Gardens Landscape Design in East Orange, you will get a peek at the history of this time period with emphasis on the garden styles, popular plants and ornamentation of the house and landscape. You will take away both inspiration and practical ideas for landscaping your own older home. Following the talk, in celebration of Arbor Day Durand-Hedden will plant a native tree on the grounds of surrounding Grasmere Park. 1:00-4:00 p.m. visitors will also be able to peruse the often surprising and always fascinating new exhibit on the 87-year history of the Maplewood Theater, “The Maplewood Theater: Its Forgotten Saga.” Out in the carriage house the Country Store will open up its coffers for a “super discounted sale” of historic- themed treasures: early American children’s games, books and toys, facsimile documents, quill pens and ink, historic cook books, cookie molds, tin lanterns, hand blown blue birds, reproductive decorative items and ceramics, and more. The hard- to-find original Doors of Maplewood poster and Smile, the history of Olympic Park, will also be available. Durand-Hedden House is dedicated to telling the history of the development of Maplewood and the surrounding area in new and engaging ways. It is located in Grasmere Park at 523 Ridgewood Road in Maplewood. For more information or to arrange group tours call 973-763-7712.
