Pictures of Allendale’s historic John Fell house. 

The John Fell House is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.

 

The house was constructed in the 1760s with additions in the 1830s and 1915 that expanded the structure to 7,000 square feet. John Fell Bergen County Patriot was a merchant who before the Revolution had vessels plying the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers.  He lived in Allendale at his home called “Peterfield,” known now as the Fell House. As a member of the First Continental Congress of the United States, John Fell ratified the Constitution.  Not only was this house home to John Fell but it was also Allendale’s first Sunday school, and guest home to Civil War hero Joseph Warner Allen, whom Allendale is named after, and Adam Badeau, President Grant’s biographer.
