Located at 183 Mountain Ave in Pequannock, NJ, the Ackerson Mead Clark House is a 21-room Greek Revival mansion built in the mid-1800s.
Although having a three-century history, the home wasn't included on the Register of Historic Sites maintained by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection until a decision was made on July 29, 1981. Despite extensive renovation in the early 2000s the front exterior Greek Revival colonnade, original staircase, 1870s fireplaces, and a wide variety of architectural details and moldings remain intact. Originally a plantation style structure located in an agrarian community, the property surrounding the private residence has been reduced to 1.37acres over decades of nearby development. [1]
Currently known as "Willow Manor," the mansion was listed for sale in 2011 at a list price of $1.4 million. [2]
The property is also considered a New Jersey Highlands Region Cultural Resource. [3]

Halcyon Park is an unincorporated community that was developed by Reverend Cyrus Kemper Capron in Bloomfield, in Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, in 1895 as a planned community of homes with trees and shrubs, picturesque cottages, ponds and common grounds to be maintained by a caretaker and gardener. It is believed that Halcyon Park was inspired by Llewellyn Park, the first planned garden suburb about three miles away. Capron envisioned a private residential park for individuals of moderate means to offer all the advantages of the city and the country. The original plan laid out 182 lots and common grounds to include a club house and tennis courts for common use by a lot-owners association. The Club House contained a bowling alley, billiard table, library and stage. The common grounds included a gate house, a conservatory, and two ponds. The land was developed with water, sewer and gas lines and paved streets, innovative at the time.
