The Isaac Garfield house at Speed
well was entirely destroyed by fire on
Sunday night. 1t stood on the old
Speedwell road nearly to the bridge.
For a year or SO it hadno regular oc-
cupant and was rapidly falling to
pieces being used as shelter for poker
players and disorderly persons general
ly. Evidently it must have been set
on fire.
An alarm was given by the repeated
whistling Of a locomotive in the Lack
awanna round house. No general
alarm was sounded but the chemical
engine and red wagon we're sent to the
scene.
The house was built before the war
and occupied for some years by Isaac
Garfield. It was regarded at the time
as a wonderful example Of modern ar
chitecture having bay windows and
other arrangements new for Morris
town.
