This is inaccurate. The picture appeared on the cover of American Homes & Gardens in June, 1904 and inspired Mr. Chapman to find an architect, Mr. A. F. Norris, to draw the plans, It was altered to accommodate the view of NYC and the hill, and was built in 1906. The magazine came back and did a full story on the completed home.
Owner's name was Everette Lee DeGolyer. He was an oilman and did work in Mexico but was not the discoverer of the first oil deposits. However, in 1910, at the age of 24 and while working for one of the many oil companies in Mexico, he chose the location of a very famous oil well, Potrero del Llano #4 which came in producing 100,000 barrels of oil per day. He sold Highwall and moved to Dallas in 1936.
I hope that Montclair will not let the building fall into complete disrepair, as it appears to be doing. It had been occupied up until a few years ago; it now looks empty with a few of the windows boarded up. I have seen similar buildings awaiting renovation in Newark, allowed to sink into complete decay, and subsequently (and conveniently) torn down.
I will have to find more pictures and post them!
That's the house I grew up in. From ages 5-17. HOME
