History of 950 Hillside Avenue, Plainfield, NJ: Built in 1893, the 7000+ square foot Colonial Revival features three floors of living space and is set on two acres. According to the Hillside Avenue Historical District, the homes on the street have remained mostly unchanged and feature some of the finest turn-of-the century houses built in Union County. Once the railroad linked Plainfield to New York City, the former resort community evolved into a suburb of Wall Street—incredibly, by the 1890's over one hundred millionaires were living there!
Dan and Elizabeth Reichard of ER Development in partnership with Thomas and George Allen acquired the house in December, 2017. The Reichards are also the proud grandparents of nine-year old Valerie Fund patient, Grace. Since her diagnosis of a Germ Cell Brain Tumor in early May, Grace has received treatment—chemotherapy and radiation—at The Valerie Fund Center at Newark Beth Israel. Following an extraordinary fundraising effort at the Walk/5K Run in June, Dan was interested in collaborating further with the organization that is taking such good care of his granddaughter. The Designer Showhouse is an opportunity to feature local designers' expertise as well as an interesting way for the public to support The Valerie Fund's mission of Building a Brighter Future for The Valerie Fund Kids.
