From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hollystone Manor is a historic building in Hopewell Township, New Jersey Built before 1819 by the man who founded Titusville, New Jersey it represents Hopewell Township’s history. Surrounded by a many acres of fragile ecosystem in the restricted Mountain Conservation zoning district, the land hosts myriad species of flora and fauna.


The building’s new buyer wants to turn this historic and environmentally-important property into a private hotel, which will permanently alter the landscape and have a detrimental effect on rural western Hopewell Township. The historic Hollystone Manor has been slated to be turned into a hotel with spa, gift shop, full-scale restaurant, and gym with access on the already narrow Fiddlers Creek Rd across from the Baldpate Mountain Parking lot.

The Titusville Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 17, 1983 for its significance in architecture, industry, religion, and transportation. It includes 100 contributing buildings.[1]
