- Van Vleck House and Gardens
Van Vleck House and Gardens, a former private estate by the eponymous family, is a non-profit community resource in Montclair, NJ that displays a public botanical garden of mostly ericaceous plants that has been developed over several generations. The display of rhododendrons and azaleas shows numerous hybrids, several named after members of the Van Vleck family.The property had been in the hands of the Van Vleck family until 1993 when it was turned over to The Montclair Foundation. The main house, built in 1916 by Joseph Van Vleck Jr. as a Mediterranean villa, is available for events by non-profit organizations. A Chinese Wisteria that had been planted in 1939 climbs around the pillars of the back portico.
