By Maryanne ChristianoMistretta he Little Red Schoolhouse on Ridgedale Avenue in Florham Park is iconic. The one-story red brick masonry building with the steep roof and bell on top has been a landmark to the borough of Morris County since 1866. The schoolhouse first opened in March of 1877, therefore the 150th anniversary will be coming up next year. Plans for the anniversary are not yet certain, according to Richard Davidson, Historical Society president. But there’s some thought going on to organizing a gala event to mark around that date, which falls on Ash Wednesday. In the meantime, renovations are coming along. Any day they are expecting a delivery of cedar shingles.
Davidson said, “There’s been a national tight market for good quality cedar shingles. After they are manufactured they need to be dipped in a preservative and dried. It’s a somewhat lengthy process. What hasn’t been confirmed, the contractor has to choose a start date. We’re anxious that he starts and finishes
quickly or is able to hold off until the Pathways of History event held October eighth and ninth – Columbus Day weekend. Another current project is up on the roof. Davidson said, “In this previous project the roof and the vestibule and the siding on the bell cupula were replaced with new
shingles. When it rains you can see the difference. Now it’s time to do the full roof replacement. It will be adding new gutters and downspouts. Those will be larger and of cast iron instead of the current aluminum gutters and downspouts. Since it’s a big roof, it’s a good thing continued on page 4
