Hillside Square: A Historic Masterpiece in Montclair

Blown away and inspired—that is the only way I can describe my feelings after touring the Hillside Square renovation project on Hillside Avenue in Montclair. As a parent of a Hillside School student I had watched the renovation project all of last year wondering and waiting. Little did I know they were creating not just any refurbished building, but a bright, energy efficient mini-Montclair museum and a work of art.

Allowing for the gate, instead of sealing off access to Hudson, would surely result in more traffic on the residential street, neighbors said.

It’s All Square: Inside Montclair’s LEED Gold Academy Square Development

A school building for 104 years, Montclair’s Academy Square is now a green commercial building with an artistic bent and a bright future.

Montclair, New Jersey, is more or less the Jersey town in which I wish I’d grown up. With all due respect to Ridgewood, NJ — and I’m not going to get into just how much respect is due, there — Montclair has better movie theaters, better restaurants and a closer connection to late New Orleans Saints linebacker Sam Mills.
