Picturesque and mysterious in its
lonely grandeur stands what is left of
the town of Allaire, In Monmouth
county. New Jersey, which, in the ear
ly days of the last century, was the
most Important industrial center of
the state.
it is known today as "the Deserted
Village," and as such it is the mecea
A TYPICAL RESIDENCES,
of the guests at the seaside resorts,
who love to ponuer over the secrets of
its past and the mystery of its future,
says the New York Press. The town,
or. more properly speaking, what is
left of il in tiie shape of dwellings
and ruins, for it lias not all gone to
decay, is located on I he line of th'*
Freehold Ac .Jamesburg branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad, thirteen miles
south of Freehold and six miles west
from Sea Girt,
Among the crumbling houses lives
the owner of the land, son of the man
who founded the colony and made a
fortune there.
Whether he has any dreams of re
viving the once gay village no one
knows, hut the allurements of city life
have not tempted him and he lives
peacefully among the ruins.
Giant trees, which have witnessed
the storms of a century, form a pretty
grove which today is one of the at
tractions of the place. Cultivated
OLD CHARCOAL HOUSE,
meadov.land slopes off to the old river
bed, now almost dry in places, and
deep ravines filled with an abundance
of natural foliage present nature at
Us wildest and yet most attractive
form.
In the early days of the past century
the town was one of the largest in
dustrial centers in the East.
All roads led to Allaire, and they
were unversed by heavily laden wag
ons carrying crude materials to the
town or taking away the manufactured
product.
This continued for a period of twen
ty odd years. The town grew and
prospered.
For half a century, however, it has
shown little activity or life, and if it
were not for the many visitors who,
prompted by curiosity or real interest,
visit the place the town would be both
dead and deserted.
Although the natural beauty of the
location would suggest the idea that
there was some utopian scheme behind
its founding, it was a plain business
THE OHD SCREW FACTORY.
proposition that prompted James P.
Allaire, its founder, to establish the
colony which for u numbei of years
was such a busy place
That the town finally became a de
serted village was due. in a measure,
to a peculiar combination of cireum
stances, and not attributed to any lack
of foresight or ability on the part of
Mr. Allaire.
In fact, had he not been dissuaded
from carrying out some of his plar.s,
notably, that of building a railroad,
Allaire might sti'l have retained some
of its former glory.
The establishment of an iron .smelt
ing works at Allaire marked its in
ception. The panic of lk;i7 crippled j
Mr, Allaire financially and it was fol
lowed some years later by the discov
ery of improved methods of com bus- j
tion in the refining of iron ore. These
were the beginning of the downfall of
the town, which resulted ultimately
in tlie enforced abandonment of a
plant which at that time contained
one of the finest iron smelting fur
naces in the world.
It is still standing, a silent and ma- j
testic monument to the methods of the
parly days, and through its agency was
cast some of the iron which revolu
tionized water travel and created a
new era in the method of transporta
tion.
When Mr. Allaire took hold of the
old Howell furnace that section of
Monmouth county was a wilderness.
There was a fair water power, by
means of which the old furnace had
been operated, and this was greatly
improved. The pine trees in that sec
tion had been stripped by the charcoal
burners. A tract of land comprising
one thousand acres was pui chased and
mole charcoal was made.
TOP OF FFUNAFF.
The stone for buildings was brought
from Nyaok and the brick needed was
made there
Ju 1828 the Howell Works company
was incorporated and James P. Allaire
was elected president. In 1831 the com
pany was sold out and bought in by
James P. Allaire as an individual.
After acquiring the property Mr. Al
laire made further improvements. A
modern furnace for smelting iron was
built, which is standing today as
strong as it was the day it was
erected.
Roads were improved to Red Hank
and Oecanport, where piers were con
structed and a line of sloops was op
erated to New York City.
The first steamboat built was the
Yolas. the second Osiris, followed by
the Isis and the 1818.
Comfortable houses were built for
I employes and from 1834 to 1837 Allaire
was at the height of its prosperity. The
big furnace was in operation, there
was a grist mill, a bakery, store, car
penter shop, screw factory and about
five hundred men were employed in
the various industries which made up
the town.
A canal was dug three miles to
bring water from the Mingemahone, a
stream near Farmlngdale, and five
large farms were bought to have the
right of way for the water.
Lines of stages were operated daily
to the more important towns and
goods were brought from New York by
a steamboat line which succeeded the
line of sloops. Much of the iron was
shipped to market by the Manasquan
river from u dock two miles below the
furnace.
Currency was scarce in those days
anti in 1834 a lot of bronze coins, otic
and two cents, and bills from six and
a quarter cents to $l.> were placed in
circulation.
The right to put the money in circu
lation was discussed by the lawyers of
that time, but it was accepted, and
passed by the people of the town as
good as the currency of the federai
government. The name of Allaire on
it was considered a sufficient guarantee
that it would lie paid.
Mr. Allaire, who had extensive
works in New York city, suffered in
the panic of 1837. and the plant in
New York passed Into other hands.
Improved methods of combustion in
the smelting of ore followed and it
was not long before it was evident
that iron could not be produced in the
Ilovell plant as cheaply as elsewhere.
Reluctantly Mr. Allaire announced
in 184G that he could make no more
iron and the death-knell of ihe town
was sounded.
The closing of the iron furnace was
followed by the closing of othei fac
tories in the town and gradually the
population dwindled down to a few
who held on to the old place.
Tn Mr, Allaire projected a rail
road to the town of Allaire, but he
wa- lit-Mi ided from undertaking ha
eriction by some of his friends who
feared it could not b* carried through
successfully.
Had he carried out his ideas the
history of Allaire might have been far
different.
Hal Allaire, the son of the old man,
is a graduate of Columbia and a man
of much learning, yet lie. for some
unknown reason, has buried himself
among his ruins.
He was left the major portion of the
estate by his father and the will was
contested. Ill 1876 the New York courts
dei ided in his favor and he was left
in undisputed possession of a strange
legacy.
He has lived the life of a quiet coun
try farmer, an 1 because of the many
j difficulties to be surmounted he never
i attempted to restore the town to Us
‘ former Industrial activity.
Mr. Allaire Is highly esteemed by his
friends, and while the ruins undoubt
edly remind him of tlie greatness of
the past, yet lie takes an active interest
in the affairs of the county and acts
as postmaster for the present town of
Allaire.
On Sunday he conducts a Sunday
school in the old school building.
DEMAND FOR HOUR GLASSES.
Koiim* Art* I ml for Keeping*; Tab on
Piano Prnrt !<•♦*.
“Most people think that hour glass
es went out of style years ago,” said
a clerk in a Twenty-third street store
to the New York Sun, ‘‘along with
perukes and knee breeches, but as a
matter of fact we have more calls for
them today than we have had at any
time within the last ten years. That
this renewed popularity of the hour
glass ugurs its universal acceptance
as a timepiece by the coming genera
tion. 1 am not prepared to say, but if
such a renaissance were to become as
sured it would be no more surprising
than some of the other recent fads
based on a revival of lost customs.
Anyway a brief study of the hour glass
will do nobody harm. There are thou
sands in this generation who have not
tlie slightest idea what, an hour glass
looks like, and it won’t hurt them to
broaden their education a little along
certain lines. Of the hour glasses sold
at present the three-minute class is in
the lead. This glass is used almost
exclusively to measure time in boiling
eggs and its usefulness naturally
places its sale a little in advance of the
more sentimental varieties. Next
come the five, ten and fifteen minute
and full hour glasses, which are
bought chiefly by musicians for piano
practice and by lodges and secret so
cieties. The sand used in an hour
glass is the very finest that the world
affords. The western coast of Italy
furnishes most of it. as it has done for
ages past. The cost or hour glasses is
regulated by the ornamentation of the
frames. A glass set in a plain rose
wood case can be bought for $1. while
a mahogany frame comes to $1.50 or
$2. Of course, the price can be brought
up still higher by fancy carving and
decoration. Swell lodges sometimes go
to this extra expense, but most people
are satisfied witli the cheaper grades.”

into contact in a glass or porcelain
globe, dissolve and throw out a strong
