The Palisades Mountain House was a hotel located atop The Palisades in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey during the late 19th century.[1][2][3] It was destroyed by fire in 1884.[4]

Subsequent development

[edit]

The site of the former Palisades Mountain House became Archangel College in June 1962. It was renamed Englewood Cliffs College in 1966. In 1975, it became part of St. Peter's College (now Saint Peter's University).[5]
