CHARLES FULKERT'S BROMLEY INN




This rare photo of the Bromley Inn came from a glass slide. I date it circa 1912. I have been searching for historical news items on the founding of the inn. The guest list at Mr. and Mrs. Fulkert's 25th anniversary party lists many local notable Bromley pioneers, including Peter Dolan whose Hamilton Hotel was a favorite watering hole for Bromley residents and also visitors to the New Jersey State Fair. John Harter operated a nursery on Nottingham Way behind today's Hamilton Municipal Building. Daniel Klockner operated a cabbage farm in the area of today's Klockner School.

  2. Thanks Mack. Your photographs of local sites will be of great interest to folks like me. I'm waiting for you to post photos of the building formerly occupied by Pete's Steak House on Chambers St. and also Lou's Home Movies on Chambers Street! As I look at your pictures of current occupants, it's easy to remember "The Way We Were."

    Tom
