Marlpit Hall Restoration Project, 1996

Copy of The First Restoration of Marlpit Hall in Middletown, New Jersey: Extracts from the Papers of Edna M. Netter , compiled and transcribed by Joseph W. Hammond, 8 January 1996. Netter supervised the restoration and furnishing of Marlpit Hall in 1935 and 1936 on behalf of Mrs. J. Amory Haskell, her principal patron. As the house was presented as a completed project to the Monmouth County Historical Association in 1936, virtually no documentation exists in their files on the restoration of the first historic house museum in Monmouth County. The 53 documents illustrated and transcribed in this report, taken from the correspondence files of Edna Netter, constitute the most comprehensive source of information known today on this project.
