457 Centre Street

457 Centre Street is a 2 1/2 story, 3 bay, rectangular plan, Tudor revival-influenced, brick, former residential building, now used for educational purposes. Built around 1895, the brick house features elaborate upper story panels of herringbone laid brick ornamented with half-timber stickwork and casement window groupings. Projecting parallel gables flank the central bay, below which is an open arched porch. This was the home of Thomas S. and Anna Kingman, one of the major developers of Montrose park, for whom Kingman Avenue is named. Thomas Kingman died shortly after the house was constructed and his widow sold it to William W. Trimpi. The house, with its one story brick addition on the north side, now houses the Seton Hall University Division of University Affairs. It is known as the “George M. Ring” building.
