Willow Terrace, between Clinton Street, Willow Avenue and 6th and 7th Streets, looks much as it did in 1880 when it was constructed by the Stevens family (of Stevens Institute fame) for laborers working on the nearby institute. Stevens Institute, founded in 1870, is America’s first college of mechanical engineering. It commands a spectacular view of New York City from its perch on Castle Point.
Willow Terrace retains its brick pavement as well as several picturesquely tiny brick cottages.
Longtime Terrace resident Joan Cunning has recently published a memoir with the Hoboken Historical Museum of her time living on the Terrace.
