Description

All in a Row - Hoboken NJ by Regina Geoghan. A view of a row of some of the beautiful old row houses that line many of the streets in Hoboken New Jersey. The architectural detail of many of these structures is just lovely to see. This image received gentle photopainting treatment for artistic effect. Many of these old Hoboken structrues are brownstones. When they were constructed, the structural walls of the brownstones were made of brick and the facades covered with the brownstone. Brownstone is a brown Triassic-Jurassic[1][2] sandstone which was once a popular choice of building material because it was easy to remove from the quarries and to carve. The color would depend on the quarry and locations within a quarry. Today, the term "brownstone" is often used to refer to a townhouse clad in this, or similar materials. While Brooklyn NYC is one of the most well known locations, famous for the brownstones, neighborhoods across the Hudson River from Manhattan, in cities like Hoboken and areas of Jerse City, have soe beautiful examples of this work. Quarries from the Passaic Formation in northern New Jersey supplied most of the brownstone bor New York and New Jersey buildings.
