History and description
Normandy Park is an upscale residential development of villa estates located near Morristown. It was designed by John Dodd Canfield (1845–1910), starting in 1885. George Augustus Mills, a local carpenter, contractor and architect, built many of the first buildings. The district includes examples of Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival architectures.
The Red House at 20 Normandy Parkway was built c. 1900 and features Georgian Revival architecture. The house, owned by James Henry Coghill, Sr., was designed by Morristown architect Robert C. Walsh. In 1891, Henry E. Woodward built a summer residence here, which he name Fairacres. It was later bought by Charles F. Clark, president of the Bradstreet Company, now Dun & Bradstreet. His daughter, E. Mabel Clark, used the house until her death. It was later demolished and a new house built on the property in 1955.[3]
