• Weehawken Griffin

  Three photographs, taken in 1979, one black and white, two in color. This zinc griffin, manufactured by the J. W. Fiske Company, used to perch on top of the rounded stone pier at the corner of Eldorado Place and Boulevard East. It is thought to have been a remnant of a possible pair from the entrance to the Eldorado Amusement Park, but we have no documentation to support this theory. It does appear in a photograph from the Eldorado Realty Company Prospectus, which is dated about 1900. The griffin sold for $7,800 at a Christie's auction in 2006. The new owner has a blog about her passion for collecting zinc statuary. Although much of the information she has about the statue is incorrect, there is a very clear photograph of the Weehawken griffin. See external link below for url. These photos were taken by Zack Gaulkin.

Founded in 1866, the company created detailed building maps of cities and towns all across the country, primarily for use by insurance companies. These maps also have been used extensively by local government agencies for over a century in conducting their daily operations efficiently. Approximately 12,000 American cities and towns are chronicled in the company's collection of over one million maps. As a result of its history, the name Sanborn has become synonymous with this kind of map. Genealogists, local history buffs, city planners, architects, and countless others have been drawn to the quality of detail found in them. "
