The F. L. Wandell Estate and Ward Factory Site is located in the borough of Saddle River in Bergen County, United States. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 1990, for its significance in architecture, entertainment, and industry. [1] [3] It was listed as part of the Saddle River MPS. [4] The house was completely gutted down to the wood frame around 2012. The houses overall shape is the same, but the exterior appearance has been greatly altered for a more contemporary style of architecture from the home's original 1800s appearance. Other major changes include the reorientation of the driveway and the addition of a swimming pool and various other aspects. The photo displayed here on Wikipedia depicts the home after the 2012 renovation. Whether any of the homes original interiors are still intact is unknown. The original barn, which is now part of the neighboring parcel still has its original exterior.

The town is known for its natural fields, farmland, forests, and rivers, and has a bucolic atmosphere, due in part to a minimum zoning requirement of 2 acres (0.81 ha) for homes. The borough contains both stately historic homes and estates, as well as newer mansions. It is popular among residents seeking spacious properties in a countryside-like setting, while also having proximity to New York City.
