Peter/Arnoldi House in the 1930s - Pre Library

WHC88279

The building that today houses the Weehawken Free Public Library was once the Peter Mansion, owned by Emil Peter the son of a leading brewer in North Hudson, William Peter.

Charles H. Arnoldi, a Union City pharmacist, purchased the house in 1934, where he, his wife Laura, and his family lived until the house was purchased by the Port Authority as part of the construction of the Lincoln Tunnel.

These images were provided by Jeffrey Arnoldi of Houston, TX.

Note: Images 278 and 28 in this set show a different house, located on Hamilton Avenue (as evidenced by the lovely NYC view).
