Located on 355 Madison Avenue and Canfield Road
One of many elaborate houses that once stood along the stretch of
Madison Avenue known as “Millionaires' Row,” this survivor of the Gilded
Age was built for Edward P. Meany (1854-1938), New Jersey Judge
Advocate General and director of the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, and his wife Rosaline.
The Meanys based their 1904 home on the
design of Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, England. From 1961 to 1984
the structure served as Saint Mark’s Lutheran Church. Today it is an
office building known as “The Abbey.”
