Weehawken Public Library

[4][5] An annual fundraiser for the library at Lincoln Harbor, a culinary event called A Taste of Weehawken, has taken place since 2000.

[3][12] Completed in 1904 at the cost of $75,000, the home was designed like a German-style castle with 17 rooms and elaborately decorated with ornate woodwork, marble, stained glass, and several fireplaces.

[5] A successful businessman, Peter was also a painter encouraged by Hudson River School artist Max Eaglau and maintained a studio as his home for himself and others to use.

The gallery in the house included many works inspired by his native Black Forest and the Catskill Mountains, where he summered.

[13] The Weehawken Historical Commission maintains materials originally contributed upon the creation of the library as well as other acquisitions made over the years.
