Historical Society’s House Tour Goes Virtual

he Historical Society of Princeton has long been known for its annual house tour featuring architecturally and historically significant Princeton homes. This year, for the first time, the tour will be presented in a virtual format, allowing visitors access to on-demand multimedia content for a full month beginning Saturday, May 15. The tour features four unique homes, and one house will be released weekly and remain available through June 15. Every house will offer an in-depth portal where participants can dive into videos and descriptive details room-byroom, including spotlights on the house’s history, distinctive furnishings and artwork, impressive remodels and restorations, and extraordinary architectural features. Interviews with designers, architects, and artisans will shed light on the decision-making and painstaking work involved in preserving and updating a historic home. This homes featured on the tour are described by the Historical Society as follows: 2 Boudinot Street: Prolific Princeton builder-architect Charles Steadman likely built this Federal/ Italianate-style house in the 1850s at the corner of Nassau Street and University Place. As the university and town expanded, the house was moved twice before landing at its current location. House moving was a common practice in Princeton in the early 19th and 20th centuries, and nearly 200 buildings were moved during this period. Once home to Princeton University professor Christian Gauss, beloved mentor to F. Scott Fitzgerald, the house has been completely renovated and restored by the current owners, creating a new sunlit kitchen and master suite, while also meticulously restoring period details, like intricate metal knobs and hinges, stunning pocket doors, marble fireplaces, and gas lighting petcocks. Creative décor and furnishings include delightful surprises, like a salvaged armoire used as a bar and pops of exciting wallpaper. Two historic cupolas bring even more light into the already sundrenched home. New landscaping and stone hardscaping surrounding the house create a charming, Charleston-inspired retreat for the homeowners. 20 Boudinot Street: This Eng-

Clockwise from above, homes included in the Historical Society’s virtual house tour are 2 Boudinot Street, 20 Boudinot Street, 8 Evelyn Place, and 600 Pretty Brook Road. lish manor-style house was originally built in 1924 for the family of Charles Erdman, mayor of Princeton Borough and an influential supporter of many local institutions. The current owners, only the third family to own the home, undertook stylish updates throughout the house and completed renovations that enhance the flow for a 21st century family. They converted a garage into an elegant dining room, installed a new kitchen, and merged bedrooms to create a master suite with a sitting room and his/ hers dressing rooms. Third floor servants’ quarters were combined to create a unique bedroom with custom cabinetry and closets built into the original dormered ceiling. The house exudes storybook charm, and original details, like moldings, French doors, and the 1920s doorbell, remain. Incorporated throughout the house are remarkable pieces of Asian art and furnishings from the family’s time living in Hong Kong. Outside, a picturesque loggia leads into the garden where the original garage doors, complete with Roebling hardware, form a focal point. 8 Evelyn Place: This semi-detached home is steeped in Princeton’s women’s history. Dubbed “The Pines,” the sprawling Victorian was once home to Evelyn College for Women, the first women’s college in New Jersey, founded in 1887. Later, Princeton’s first female mayor of Princeton, Barbara Boggs Sigmund, lived there until her death following a battle with cancer.

The current owners undertook major restoration work and modernized the interior to allow for an open kitchen gathering space, a spacious master suite, and a thirdfloor recreation space with expansive views of Princeton. The renovation also breathed life into stunning historic details like large-scale double doors, a striking Japanese porcelain tile fireplace, clawfoot tubs, and original wood floors. The overhauled front and back yards create a number of unique spaces for outdoor lounging with lush plantings and urns salvaged from the New York Botanical Garden, where the homeowner’s grandfather was a landscaper. 600 Pretty Brook Road: A specimen of Princeton’s early colonial history, “The Bouwerie” was the homestead for a Dutch farming family. Among other distinctive details, the original 1770 house features a remarkably well-preserved large hearth fireplace with beehive oven, hand-hewn beams, half-timberwork, and a “Jersey winder” staircase. The 19th century dining room showcases a magnificent Delft tile fireplace. The current owners completed a thoughtful addition to the original structure in 1991, which quadrupled the square footage. In the addition, reclaimed wood meticulously matches the original wide plank floors. The spacious new kitchen continues the historic farmhouse aesthetic, including an Aga cast-iron range and a breakfast nook en-

Q&A: Visual Artists at the Trenton City Museum

Elizabeth Aubrey

Interview conducted by Tom Kelly

Elizabeth Aubrey is a Bordentownbased painter currently exhibiting in the

Trenton City Museum exhibition “Women Artists Trenton Style,” curated by noted New Jersey artist Mel Leipzig. Aubrey, who is married to U.S. 1’s Dan Aubrey, was born in Princeton and raised in Dutch Neck. She is interested in how nature conflicts with humans and the seeming overbuilding in already crowded New Jersey. Her signature styled works are created by starting with a true-to-life visual that she then abstracts to totally change the view. What are you communicating with your art? I’m trying to communicate tranquility and reflection to the viewer. I wish to trigger the viewer’s imagination, not of a specific place or time but something that is from their experiences. I leave some things out and wish for the viewers to add some things of their own. I work in acrylics on canvas. I am not a fast painter. Some paintings may take me up to a year to finish. Who were you influenced by? There are so many that have influenced me. On the top of my list are Edward Hopper, for his reflections and lighting, and Henri Matisse for the colors and forms he employed. Two other influences are Milton Avery and Marsden Hartley, who also have excellent color and solid forms. What is the inspiration for your current work? The changing environment inspires me. By that I mean the disappearing of the natural for the new homes and warehouses. I like to show natural elements competing with the constant conflict of the industrial influences. As I drive down the Turnpike each day, all I see is warehouses. Yet no matter what, nature still tries to maintain a balance. What is your process? I start with small drawings. They are small and do not allow a lot of room for details. From these sketches I then make color studies to see which colors will work the best. From there I enlarge the study and create the painting. I work in spurts and will complete about five or six paintings at a time. It’s almost like a series but not with the same theme. What is your favorite local museum? My two favorites are the Princeton University Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, of which we are members.

Elizabeth Aubrey with a collection of her paintings at Ellarslie. Are you a mentor/teacher/ curator? I’ve curated shows with the Trenton Arts Workshop Association and the Sage Coalition in Trenton. I have also assisted our son, Byron, who curates exhibitions featuring artists with disabilities. One obstacle is finding venues to show art. We have artists and now need more venues. How long do you feel it took you to find your own voice? I think about 20 years; I’m still open to change. I have a consistent technique and subject matter but my approach is different. I find when I am ready; I really attack the work now. What fight/struggle do you have regarding your art? Time to create is my biggest obstacle. I was working full time and commuting an hour each way. What one attribute should all artists have? Persistence is key for an artist. Trying new ideas and making art for yourself can really help you create the most pure form of art. My art is not traditional or mainstream. You can’t let critics hinder you. I see the artists with disabilities making art that is pure and they are so happy with it. Do you acquire your art supplies locally or online? I only buy locally. I get my paint at Jerry’s. I get brushes at Michael’s. I beat up and use my brushes until they are dead. Do you have a lot of artist friends in the area? I have a lot of support from other artists in the area. It’s not easy for the visual arts. The artists, sculptors, and theater groups need businesses to value their work. The arts need business and the businesses need art. In Trenton, there is a strong group of young artists who realize you don’t need a museum to show art. In other places, like Hamilton, the arts are still in their infancy. What is your dream project? I would love to travel and paint. I wouldn’t have to go far. The tri-state area would be a good start, then maybe to the British Isles. For more information on Elizabeth Aubrey, visit www.ejaubrey.com. Tom Kelly is a columnist for the Community News Service’s Hamilton Post.

Mary Yess

Interview conducted by Tom Kelly

ary Yess has a long and distinguished list of arts leadership and accomplishments in the Mercer County area. Predominant in her art are the old industrial buildings from the East Coast’s manufacturing heyday. Her art, based on real buildings, diverts into simplified abstraction, with terrific compositions and a limited palette. The resulting images are quite beautiful. Her work can be seen now through June 6 in Women Artists, Trenton Style, at the Trenton City Museum. What are you communicating with your art? Color, light, evocation. I have a very visceral connection to color, so that aspect is probably most important to me. Subject matter is not as important; it’s more a carrier or vehicle to show the relationship between colors, between forms and lines. But I do like to capture the beauty and sadness of industrial buildings and their surroundings. They are majestic relics and are so evocative, like lost cities. They amaze me: all the bricks, each made and placed by hand to create those mammoth buildings. They are palaces to me, and hence the title of one of my series, “American Versailles.” What media do you use and why? My work often falls under the category of mixed media, but the pieces are primarily oil (tube paint or oil sticks). I also use ink and pencil, even in paintings on canvas. I like lots of layers and pentimenti. I have another series, the “Oxford Codex/Lares Industria” series, where I use old file dividers as the base, incorporate discarded circuit boards on them, and paint landscapes or totem-like figures over all of it. Who were you influenced by? Classics like Velazquez, also Richard Diebenkorn, Joan Mitchell, David Smith, Willie Cole, Gee Bend quilters, Louise Nevelson, Bill Traylor, Jasper Johns, aboriginal art, and Persian miniatures. Where do the ideas come from? The starting point is usually a particular light or specific vista. Sometimes the vistas are used directly as images. Sometimes just their elements get added to my personal forms catalogue: particular building shapes (clerestories, mushroom-shaped vents), tree types, urban landscape elements (guard

‘Congoleum,’ from Mary Yess’ ‘American Versailles’ series. rails). Do you paint on site or in the studio? Many of the buildings I paint are in abandoned locations, and/or along very busy highways; so, it’s almost impossible to paint on site. I have to use photographs and drawings, and then do the work in the studio. But, oftentimes, I am creating the buildings and other landscapes from scratch, so those are coming from my own vocabulary of building types, tree types, etc. Briefly describe your process. I start with a pencil drawing, then use ink to create some of the hard lines I want to show through, then oil and oil pastel, and finally some colored pencils to scribe lines, add color or texture. Layers are important. How have you seen the arts evolve in this area? I’ve been involved in the Trenton area arts for many years (director of Artworks, president of TAWA, on the boards of Ellarslie and various arts commissions, and exhibiting extensively). There seem to be waves of activity. To paraphrase Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, “Art finds a way.” What drives you to paint? It’s very absorbing, it is exploration, and it takes you into another domain. What fight/struggle do you have regarding your art? I’m very fortunate to have a great studio space. What’s tough is not being able to work on site (as mentioned above). But I’m not a “realist” painter, so I don’t mind using photographs as a jumping-off point. What local attraction(s) do you love to visit or inspire you? Any place that has industrial buildings. Trenton has a treasure trove, but also Buffalo (NY), Erie (PA), or along the train route from here up through Boston. What is most fun about being an artist? Taking reality and transforming it into something else. What is on the horizon? I want to push further, maybe even into abstraction. Am also looking to find a place where I can do welding again.

NRG to Move Corporate Headquarters to Houston

On the Move

RG Energy has announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Carnegie Center to Houston, Texas. The Houston office had previously served as a second headquarters for the company. The move, cited as a means of simplifying operations, comes months after NRG’s acquisition of Houston-based Direct Energy was completed in January. The Princeton office will remain open for regional operations for the moment, meaning that no New Jersey-based employees will be required to relocate to Texas. “The move to a single headquarters simplifies business operations, as a significant portion of the Company’s employees and customers reside in Texas,” the company said in a quarterly report. “NRG will maintain regional offices in the markets that it serves as the company continues to grow. As the company makes progress against Direct Energy integration milestones, it will continue to evaluate real estate needs and consolidate as appropriate.” NRG originally moved its headquarters from Minneapolis in 2004 and occupied roughly 80,000 square feet at 211 Carnegie Center. In 2016 the company expanded into the newly constructed building at 804 Carnegie Center. NRG holds a 15-year lease on the 130,000-square-foot building.

St. Francis Medical Center to Join Capital Health

t. Francis Medical Center in Trenton has signed a letter of intent to join Hopewellbased Capital Health. St. Francis, which serves Mercer and Burlington counties in New Jersery as well as part of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is currently part of Michigan-based Trinity Health. Trinity is a Catholic system; the combined St. Francis and Capital Health system would be non-denominational. Capital Health operates hospitals in Hopewell and Trenton as well as a network of regional outpatient care facilities. “From its founding as the city’s first hospital in 1874 to its important role as an acute care teaching hospital and Mercer County’s only provider of comprehensive cardiac surgery, St. Francis Medical Center has always put the needs of Trenton and surrounding neighborhoods first,” Al Maghazehe, CEO and president of Capital Health, said in a statement. “This approach aligns very well with Capital Health’s mission, and we are committed to our shared vision of providing

the highest level of care for the community.” The letter of intent is non-binding and represents the first step in the development of a framework for a combined healthcare system.

Taylor Photo Continued from preceding page

the most popular sized art in the country is 16-by-24 inches. Most home printers cannot print anything larger than 11-by-14, and few people own printers that can make anything larger than 8-by-10. Allegra/Taylor can print up to 8-by15 feet, and on substrates beyond paper, from metal and Sintra (plastic) to vinyl and fabric. The print can be laminated on both sides, or encapsulated, to become waterproof. “Digital is the best gift to photographers and artists since color photography,” says Eckert. Programs like Photoshop can be used to correct exposure, enhance color, straighten lines, remove reflections, sharpen contrast, increase resolution, even add details that may not be in the original. When clients bring in old black-andwhite photos to be digitized, they can even have them colorized. Ron Biela started at Taylor Photo in 1986 and has made the move to Allegra/Taylor, having ridden the wave from wet darkroom to the most cutting edge photo processing. For a client such as Toll Brothers, he can add windows, which may not yet be fully built, to a photo, including the snow or foliage seen through that window. He may have to Photoshop out construction equipment from a job site, or make the grass greener. “I tell the client I won’t make drastic changes,” he says. Biela has become a specialist on the Matterport, a 3D video system that is used for virtual tours. With a series of nine lenses, the Matterport spins for a 360-degree shot. The photographer controls it through an app, being careful to stay behind it. The Matterport automatically stitches the images together. The Matterport was used, for example, to create a virtual tour of a clubhouse at Penn State. The view-

er can feel immersed in 360-degree views of the lounge area, and feel as if they are going down the stairs to a fitness studio, through warrens of hallways, even up an elevator. Area real estate firms have also been using the technology to offer virtual tours of homes for sale at a time when in-person visits were illadvised. Biela and Eckert say the application is perfect for museums or historical sites, where an exhibition or objects on loan may only be on view for several months. With Matterport, the client pays a hosting fee to keep the exhibition alive in perpetuity. Eckert took me behind the door to the production area, a large warehouse filled with a sea of printers of every size and variety.

Signs for the Lewis Center for the Arts and Grounds For Sculpture were hot off the presses. At Allegra/ Taylor, humans are still operating the machinery. The company employs up to 35. A catalog for The Purple Carrot, a plant-based meal delivery service, had just finished printing. Next, the paper would be trimmed, stapled, and the catalogs packed and shipped. The Purple Carrot’s pages were filled with mouthwatering photos of food and recipes, sent to Allegra/Taylor as a digital file. Film cameras are still a real thing at Allegra/Taylor. When a client brought in an old black-andwhite camera that still contained film shot by the client’s grandfather, a history was unraveled — the

family had been unaware its patriarch had served in World War II. Eckert, who grew up in Bridgewater, was reminded of his own family history — his great uncle was a portrait photographer, and his uncle was an aerial photographer for the U.S. Air Force. With help from those uncles, Eckert earned a merit badge in photography as an Eagle Scout in 1959. His mother worked at home, and his father was a mechanical engineer. Three years later, at age 15, Eckert sold his first photograph and put the earnings toward purchasing equipment. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, and took photography classes at the nearby Rhode Island School of Design. He

‘Some may see a scene at, say, the beach, and photograph it. Others put up a canvas and just paint what comes. Others will start with a sketch and build upon what they see,’ Eckert says. ‘I love when someone can make something beautiful.’

worked for a photography studio in Somerville before starting his own business, Snapshots, also in Somerville, that he ran for 25 years. Eckert describes it as a mom-and-pop store that did both studio and darkroom. As a photographer, Eckert has “shot everything from porches to planes, anything that’s not underwater,” he says. His personal photography can be seen at FineArtAmerica.com. One of the things Eckert enjoys most about his job is interacting with artists and photographers. He puts them in a category with magicians. “Some may see a scene at, say, the beach, and photograph it. Others put up a canvas and just paint what comes. Others will start with a sketch and build upon what they see. I love when someone can make something beautiful.” He often offers practical advice on pricing and marketing fine art prints. “I like to tell artists, if you can dream it, we can do it.” Taylor Photo, 6 Corporate Drive, Cranbury. 609-452-9444. www.taylorphoto.com.
