• Architectural Development and Analysis of Existing Fabric - Ringwood Manor by David V. Abramson & Assoc., from 1987 Historic Structures Report

The architecture of Ringwood Manor is truly unique. Unlike Skyline Manor in the New Jersey State Botanical Gardens, it is an organic house that grew and expanded naturally throughout several important periods in American history.

The existing mansion was started in 1807 and added to over a period of 100 years. Thus, Ringwood Manor displays architecture from the Federal through the Victorian and Edwardian (or Art Deco) periods. Each addition is interesting and significant.

The other important factor about Ringwood Manor is that it was left by the Hewitt family as it was: it has their furniture, their books, their clothing. It shows how this family lived during the 19th and 20th centuries.

It is not a magnificent mansion. Its architecture is not a grand display of one period or one architect's ego. It is a story of history, of people, and of life, because the Hewitt family loved this house while they lived in it.
