Jersey City
SITE OF THE SIP MANOR

SITE OF THE SIP MANOR, SE. corner Newkirk St. and Bergen Ave., is now a business corner with only a tablet to mark its historic significance. The most recent account says that the house was built in 1664 by Nicholas Varleth and acquired in 1699 by Jan Arianse Sip. It was moved in 1928 to Wychwood, a real estate development in Westfield, N. J. The gardens were famous in old Bergen. It is said that Peter Stuyvesant often stopped to admire the flowers in the shade of a huge willow tree, the same tree from which Cornwallis is supposed to have hanged three spies.
