The Hoboken House - John D and John F Klie - Corner of River Street
and Newark Street (84 River street)
Brian Hart wrote in February 2015 to say his ancestors, the Klie family, had owned and
operated the Hoboken House on Newark Street. His grandmother told him that the young
man in the
white shirt in the above photo (Newark Ave. looking W. from River Street) was Otto Theodore Klie, Brian's grandfather.
Otto's brother is standing next to him.
Otto T Klie was born 6 March 1891 in Hoboken to Fritz J Klie, age 38, and Annie M. L. Lulleman
age 29. Fritz and Annie were born in Germany. (New Jersey Birth Index)
I believe that the actual address for the Klie family was 84 River street. The building
was located at the south west corner of River and Newark.

The Klie Brothers and Charles Von Broock
1897: The Klie Brothers owned a corner lot "covered by a building"
at Newark and River streets. The building was four stories high
with about 36 feet frontage on Newark street and 70 feet
frontage on River street. The property was wider at the rear due to an irregular shaped lot.
The first floor was used by the Klie brothers as a "liquor saloon".
The upper floors was an apartment house.
The legal title to the lot abutting the property on the west, and fronting on Newark street,
was held by the Hoboken Land Improvement Company and was subject to a contract
to purchase from that company held by Messrs. Ernst and August Schellan.
There was a small one story building on the property. Late in February, 1895,
Charles Von Broock purchased the contract from the Sehellans for $13,250,
and immediately assigned it to the Klei brothers
for the same amount. That lot was 28 feet 2 inches in front, 70 feet deep, and
21 feet and 6 inches in width in the rear, adjoining on the east side to
the west line of the Klie brother's corner lot. This property
was at No. 35 Newark Street. On the west of it was a lot
known at No. 39 Newark Street
(also owned by the Hoboken Land Improvement Company)
At No 39 Newark was a four-story building.
Between Nos. 39 and 35 Newark
"was a 12-inch brick party wall, extending back
about 35 or 40 feet. On the rear of No. 39 was a wooden extension, 10 or 12 feet high,
to the full depth of the lot, and abutting on the easterly line without any openings towards No.
35, and forming a fence or division between the two lots. without any openings towards No. 35, and forming a fence or division between the two lots."
Upon receiving the contract for No. 35 Newark street the Klie brothers
immediately removed the old building and built a one story building with a basement.
There was an understanding between the Klies and Von Broock that Von Broock
should have a lease on the new building to run a restaurant. The Klies and Von Broock collaborated
in the design of the building.
The Klies and Von Broock had an elaborate agreement which involved in part: the amount of rent,
the used of
ladies "toilet" room, repairs on the building, water rates, subletting,
the sale of all types of wine, beer and liquor as well as cigars by the restaurant except that which they prucahsed from the
Klie brothers.
The new building covered the whole lot to within ten feet of the rear of the property.
The building was finished in June 1895.
"From that point a projection extended about 6 feet further, that is, to within 4 feet of the rear,
but to the width of only about ?? feet, leaving on each side an open space of about 5
or 6 feet, which was excavated to nearly the depth of the basement, and walled in
with brick walls a little higher than the earth, thus making an ordinary window area,
with a sink in the bottom to carry off rain water. Besides these two window areas,
there was left a clear strip of open yard about 4 feet wide, extending across the whole
width of the lot. The object of this was to afford light and air to the basement of the
new building, and also to leave light and air for the westerly side of the main floor
and basement of the rear of the four-story corner building. In building on this
lot the complainants made use of the party wall between No. 35 and No. 39 as far
to the rear as it reached, and then built an independent wall on their own side
of the line as far as the main body of the building, which, as we have seen, is
10 feet from the rear of the line. Upon each of the two areas two windows opened
from the basement, - one upon each from the main building, and one upon each on the
side of the rear extension. There was no door leading into the back yard or areas.
The rear basement was used as a kitchen, the range being on the west. On the
main floor was a gentlemen's toilet room on the west side, and a ladies' toilet room
on the east side adjoining the complainants' liquor saloon, and there
was an open doorway connection with the complainants' saloon, so that
persons could pass freely from one to the other. The restaurant was
finished In August, 1895, and the defendants immediately took possession,
and have since occupied it for their business."
In the fall of 1896 with the permission of the Klie brothers Von Broock
"inclosed the easterly area, and placed in it their ice box and refrigerator."
In the spring of 1896 Von Broock decided to enlarge his business and rented NO. 39 (to the west)
from the Hoboken Land Improvement Company.
Von Broock immediately began to make alterations and in doing so
"tore down the wooden building in the rear, which had formed a dividing barrier between Nos. 39
and 35, and erected a one
story brick building in its place, with the side wall placed, or intended so to be, up to the
line of the Hoboken Land Improvement Company's land, and left in this wall two open spaces on
the side next No. 35, - one a window opening upon the west area of No. 35, and another a
door opening upon the main yard. The object of this door was to make a passageway from No. 39
to the kitchen of No. 35, and with this view they tore out the window looking from the kitchen
upon the west area, and prepared to make a door in its place, by enlarging the opening.
Complainants, being apprised of this project, protested, and forbade it, and made use of a
window which opened from the rear of the corner lot occupied by them upon the yard of No. 35
to gain access thereto for the purpose of building a brick wall as a hoarding or barrier
on the rear of the westerly line of No. 35, and thus shut up the window and door so proposed
to be opened upon their lot from No. 39. In this attempt, made on Saturday, May 9th,
they were forcibly resisted by the defendants. At about the same time they heard that
the defendants were about to break through the party wall between No. 35 and No. 39, in the basement,
and make a passageway between the two premises. They thereupon prepared their bill in this cause,
and presented it to a vice chancellor on the afternoon of May 11th, setting out their
title to the two lots, the lease to the defendants, and most of the facts hereinbefore stated,
and praying an injunction against the breaking through of the party wall In the basement,
and also against interference with their entry upon the yard in the rear of No. 35 to
erect a brick hoarding against the door and window opening upon their premises from No. 39.
A restraining order was granted, but before it was granted or served the defendants
had succeeded, by employing laborers on Saturday evening, May 9th, to work that night
and the next day, - Sunday, - in cutting an opening in the party wall, and constructing a
door and passageway therein between tne two buildings. Under the protection of the
restraining order the complainants gained access to the inclosed yard in question from
a window in the rear of their corner building, and erected a solid brick wall 12 Inches wide,
and about 12 or 14 feet high, close up to their westerly line, partly upon a new foundation,
and partly upon the stone coping of the area wall of the westerly rear area, the result
of which was to prevent the defendants from using the door and window which they had left
in the wall of the new building on the Hoboken Land Improvement Company's land, but to leave
them the use of the passageway resulting from the breaking through of the party
wall. The defendants subsequently partially restored the window in the basement, and inserted in it a
ventilator operated by electricity to cool the air of the kitchen. The defendants, by their
cross bill, pray that the complainants may be decreed to abate and take down this wall in the rear.
Complainants pray that the defendants may be restrained from using the passageway in the
party wall, and may be decreed to fill it up, and restore it to its former condition.
The questions litigated are: First. Did the lease from the complainants to the
defendants include the yard in the rear of the restaurant, or did it cover only
the right of the use of the yard for light and air? Second. Were the complainants
justified in building the brick hoarding or barrier on the west side of the rear of lot No. 35?
Third. Was the breaking through of the party wall, and inserting a door in the basement,
waste on the part of the defendants? And, if so, then, fourth, should the defendants
be ordered to restore it?"
(Atlantic Reporter: Cases Argued and Determined in the Courts of ..., Volume 37
By West Publishing Company and others)
The judge's decision"
"I will advise a decree that the defendants be restrained from
permitting the opening in the party wall made by them on or about May 10, 1896,
to remain in its present condition, or from permitting the party wall
between the leased premises and those of the Hoboken Land Improvement Company
on the west to be in any other condition than it was prior to the opening made
therein by the defendants; and, further, If complainants desire themselves
to do the work of restoration, then that the defendants be restrained
from preventing the complainants from so doing at a reasonable time
and in a reasonable manner; and the court will name a special master,
under whose supervision the work of restoration shall be done, If the parties
cannot agree thereupon. The provision for restoration may also include
the window opening upon the area If the brickwork has not already been
restored to Its original condition."

1887:
Chas. B. Brush, Civil Engineer, No. 13 Newark
Street.
The profession of a civil engineer is one of great responsibility, and one requiring the
highest order of ability, coupled with skill and experience. One of the most popular and
respected civil engineers located in Hoboken is Mr. Chas. B. Brush, whose offices
are situated at Nos. 11, 13, and 15 Newark street. This business was established in
1867 by Spielmann & Brush, who conducted it till 1883, when Mr. Spielmann died
and Mr. Brush succeeded to the management. Mr. Brush was born in New York, and
early evinced an aptitude for mathematical aud engineering studies, resulting
when he commenced the practice of his profession in his making rapid progress.
The fidelity and accuracy of all his plans and engineering designs have been duly
recognized, and ne has been entrusted during the last quarter of a century with some
of the most important public and private work that has been executed in New Jersey
and New York. He has from the start been actively engaged as an engineer and surveyor
in laying out and marking the boundaries of parks, streets, and as an expert in construction,
etc. Mr. Brush is chief engineer and superintendent of the Hackensack Water Co., professor
of civil engineering at the University of the City of New York, and engineer of the
Hudson River Tunnel, consulting engineer for Greenwood Cemetery, Long Branch,
Scranton, Montclair, and other water works, and made the examinations for the
foundations of the Harlem River, Poughkeepsie, and other large bridges. He built the
Hackensack Water Works, Fourteenth Street Ferry (New York and Hoboken), residences of
Mr. Holtz and Luecke, and a number all over Hudson county, and his attainments in the
profession have been duly recognized in the scientific world, having been elected an
active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, American and New England Water
Works Associations, Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc. Limit of space prevent our making
reference to the long list of improvements, estates, lots, street openings, etc., of
which he has had charge and carefully surveyed. He possesses handsomely furnished
offices extending through three buildings and well-lighted draughting rooms, where an
efficient corps of assistants is constantly employed. Those contemplating any
kind of engineering work, or the survey of one lot or a hundred, of a plot, or
farm, or tract of land, construction of roads, lawns, water works, examinations f
or foundations, etc., in fact, anything in this line, will find him prepared to promptly
and efficiently execute all commissions at most moderate prices.

Doctor of Science. Although his health failed about this time, he continued officially at the
head of the Engineering School until his death.
Immediately after graduation, Mr. Brush was connected with the Engineer Corps on the
Croton Aqueduct, New York City, for two years, but in 1869 he formed a partnership
with the late Arthur Spielmann, M. Am. Soc. C. E., at Hoboken, N. J. This firm engaged
in extensive engineering work for the following: The Hoboken Land and Improvement
Company; the Hoboken Ferry Company; the Hackensack Water Company; the North Hudson
County Railway Company, and for many other corporations and communities in Bergen
and Hudson Counties, New Jersey.
Mr. Brush also was connected with work on the first tunnel under the Hudson River,
acted as Assistant Engineer for the proposed New York-New Jersey Bridge over
the Hudson River, and as Engineer for the Contractor who built the piers for the
181st Street Bridge over the Harlem River. He was Consultant on the reconstruction of
the famous ceiling of the Senate Chamber at the Capitol, Albany, N. Y. As Chief Engineer,
Consultant, or Managing Director, he either built, remodeled, or enlarged water and sewerage
systems in New Rochelle, Irvington, Highland Falls, Southampton, Far Rockaway, and Syracuse
in New York State; Plainfield, and the great Hackensack System, in New Jersey; Lancaster and
Easton, Pa.; Alliance,
Ohio; Kansas City, Mo.; Kansas City, Kans.; and Portsmouth, Suffolk,
and Berkeley, Va.
Mr. Brush also organized branches in his office for the preparation of insurance atlases, and for
making boring tests for foundations of buildings or bridges. After the death of Mr.
Spielmann in 1883 and until his own health failed, he conducted the very extensive
practice himself, but about 1895 he took into partnership his senior assistant,
W. F. Whittemore, M. Am. Soc. C. E., under the firm name of Charles B. Brush and Company.
The firm continued to conduct business until the death of Mr. Brush in 1897, and for
some years following, until the virtual retirement of Col. Whittemore from active practice.
After the lapse of nearly twenty-four years it is interesting to note the high standing in
professional and civic life attained by those who, as students or assistants,
passed under the influence of the inspiring and successful engineer and all-round
Christian gentleman, Charles B. Brush. He was an occasional contributor of technical papers,
and frequently submitted discussions of remarkable clearness and interest.
His reports were models of terse English and convincing logic. Personal friendship
was his dominant characteristic clients became friends, students became admirers,
employees respected and served him loyally. His judgment of men was remarkable,
and his ability to assemble and present ideas in intelligent and convincing
form was much appreciated by his clients and associates.
Mr. Brush was a member of the Engineers' Club, New York City, the American Water
Works Association, and the New York University Alumni Association. He was an active
worker in the Central Presbyterian Church of New York City; Superintendent of its
Mizpah Chapel Sabbath School; and an Elder for many years. He was a valued Director
of the Charity Organization Society.
In 1883, Mr. Brush was married to Carrie F. Cooley, who, with three children,
Anna C, Joshua C, and Charles B., Jr., survives him.
Mr. Brush was elected an Associate Member of the American Society of Civil
Engineers on September 6th, 1871, and a Member on September 5th, 1877; he served
as a Director from 1888 to 1891, and as a Vice-President from 1892 to 1894.

Albert and Gustav Beyer & Aloys Tivy- 21 Newark Street
1887:
Beyer & Tivy, City Surveyors, Civil Engineers, and Architects, No. 21 Newark Street.
Among the principal firms in Hoboken engaged as architects, civil engineers, and
surveyors is the old-established house of Beyer & Tivy. Messrs. Beyer and Tivy were born
in Germany, but have resided in the United States for the last twenty-two years.
In 1867 they commenced the practice of their profession in Hoboken, and have
since built up an influential and permanent patronage. The fidelity and
accuracy manifested by them in civil engineering, surveying, and architecture are
everywhere recognized and appreciated by patrons. They have been entrusted with
some of the most important public and private work that has been executed in Hoboken
and its vicinity during recent years. As architects they have achieved success,
both as regards exterior elegance and the equally important details of the
interior, embodying in their plans at the same time all the suggestions and
requirements of the owners. They closely follow specifications in supervising
construction, and in every possible way subserve the interests of their patrons.
Limit of space prevent us from naming but few of the buildings designed and
erected by them in New Jersey. Among the number special mention should be made of
Wearing st theatre and Bernitt's Hall, Hoboken; Town Hall and school,
Union township, and Meyerburg's silk mill, etc. They are at present busily
engaged in the preparation of plans and designs for numerous patrons,
and are at all times prepared to successfully undertake important public
or private contracts. As surveyors they undertake the survey of one plot
or a hundred, of farms, tracts of land, etc., and execute all commissions at
moderate prices. They are the oldest established architects
and surveyors in North Hudson county, having been established here for twenty years.

1908:
SWAYZE, J. This is a creditors' bill in aid of an execution at law. The debt due the
complainant was incurred part on October 9, 1893, and part on January 17, 1894, by the
firm of Tivy & Schmidt, which was composed of Peter Tivy and Aug. J. Schmidt. The business
proved unsuccessful. Schmidt died In the fall of 1894, and on December 19th of that year Peter
Tivy conveyed the real estate now in question to his sister, Elizabeth Tivy. In his answer to
the original bill he says that his brother Aloys Tivy
was the equitable owner of the property, and that the conveyance was made at the request of Aloys in
payment of a debt due from Aloys to Elizabeth, and that a full consideration passed from
Elizabeth to Aloys. Elizabeth in her answer says that Aloys owed her for board, and said he
wanted her to have what he had. Upon these averments, the Vice Chancellor directed that an amended
bill be filed and that Aloys be brought in as a party defendant This was done, and Aloys answered,
setting up that the conveyance was in consideration of natural love and affection and a small
amount of money then owing by him to Elizabeth for board.
At an examination in supplemental proceedings Peter testified that he conveyed the property to
his sister because he wanted to get rid of it. Aloys testified that he gave his sister such a
big present because it was all in the family. At the hearing before the Vice Chancellor,
he said he conveyed to his sister because he did not pay his board regularly.
Elizabeth testified that Aloys owed her $1,000 for board, but she kept no account, and we think
the evidence makes It clear that the family lived together, each contributing to the support
of the household. Aloys was the most thrifty; and, in view of the uncertainty in the testimony,
we are not satisfied that he was indebted to his sister for board. Probably it is true,
as she says, that when he had money he would give her some, and when he had none he would give
her nothing. Such testimony fails to Indicate that the relation betwen Aloys and
Elizabeth was that of debtor and creditor.
It is, of course, not of importance what the consideration for the conveyance was as
between Aloys and Elizabeth, except for the light this testimony throws upon the real question
in the case, which is whether Peter held the title in trust for Aloys.

1899:
STORM OF ICE AND SELTER.; Saloon Keeper, Unable to Dislodge Dog Guarding His Sleeping Master,
Turns on the Man.
Rees P. Francis, a Hoboken livery stable keeper, entered the barroom of the Palace Hotel,
in Newark Street, on Friday night. He was accompanied by a big dog, half mastiff, half St.
Bernard. After taking a drink Francis sat down and fell asleep. His dog lay
down at his feet and kept guard over him. Whenever any one went too near the
dog showed his teeth with a vicious growl.
When it came time to close the place,
Charles Von Broock, the owner, tried to dislodge the dog, the animal set up such and ugly
growl that von Broock sought safty behing the bar.
From this point of vantage he pelted the dog with cracked ice, while the barkeeper assailed
the animal with an artillery fusillade from several well-charged seltzer bottles.
The dog did not seem to mind this, while the pieces of ice
were caught in his mouth and swallowed with evident enjoyment.
Von Brock finally changed his tactics.
He pelted Francis with cracked ice until practice
enabled him to lodge several
pieces inside
Francis's collar.
This roused him, and on awaking sufficiently to comprehend the
situation he cooly refused to call off his dog
until Von Broock set up the drinks. The saloon keeper was very glad to do so.
Then Francis and his dog went home and
Von Broock put up the shutters and locked the doors.

Twelve people, six men and six women died in a fire at the Colonial Hotel in Hoboken including
Elmo Snider, age 26 of Brooklyn foreman of
air brake inspectors of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Railroad.
All of the 46 guests rooms and 6 employees rooms were occupied
except the room in wich the fire appears to have started.
There were 95 people total in the hotel.
There was only one fire escape which was at the rear of the building.
The building was four stories at 39 41 Newark street.
The appeared untouched form the outside except for a few broken windows - but inside the place was in ruins - fire gutted with
blackened walls and charred furniture.
The fire was blamed on a carelessly discarded cigarette.
"Hotel Company Sued for $50,000 Damages"
Charles Von Broock of East Orange, N. J. president of the
Colonial Hotel and
Restaurant in Hoboken and the hotel manager, Henry Scharsing, were named in a suit brought by
a widow, Mrs. Elizabeth G Snider of
Brooklyn who's husband, Elmo Snider, had died in a fire at the hotel on January 30th.
"Twelve other people were burned to death."
The suit was brought because it was claimed there were no rope fire escape or
fire gongs as required by law.
The hotel denied the negligence. (New York Hotel Record, Volumes 19-20)
The suit charged Charles Von Broock of 81 Carnegie Ave, East Orange one of the owners and president of
the company, and Henry Scharshing, manager and part owner. Mr. Von Broock and Mr. Scharsching had been indicted for
manslaughter a short time before by a Hudson grand jury.
Von Broock denied the charges and insinuated that the reason some people did not get out in time was
because they were drunk.
"Not many suits are expected against the
Colonial Company because of the publicity they will invite to the families of the victims,
since it has been repeatedly alleged that the place was a disorderly rooming house at the time of the fire."
(Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 16, July 1921)
The suit was still active in January 1923 when it was reported that
the body of Elmo Snider
an employe of Brooklyn Rapid Transit was found in room 21. Beside him was the body of
Mrs. Hester Constance Petersen also of Brooklyn and also and employee of
B. R. T.
Von Broock denied responsibility for the death stating that Snider was
not a guest of the hotel but was there as a trespasser unknown to the management.

In the 1976 bicentennial Hoboken booklet it was stated that the Clam Broth House was founded by
Charles Serventi.
Based on the 1910 census and other records
Charles Serventi was born in 1883. He would have been only 16 years old in 1899. Therefor I suggest that the roriginal
restaurant was founded by his father, Anthony and taken over by Charles.
His brother, Andrew, also had a saloon in Hoboken in the early 1900s.

The building trade of Hoboken is one of the utmost
importance to the interest of the city, and among the prominent houses engaged in
supplying the material for the use of contractors and builders none are more worthy
of honorable mention than that of Messrs. Hale & ONeil, known as the Whitmore Mills.
This firm are extensive manufacturers of and dealers in pine and hard wood moldings,

succeeded to the proprietorship in February, 1887. Their office in New York is
located at No. 1193 Broadway, Gilsey Buildings, Room 20, and is under the experienced management
of Mr. Alex. Anderson. The Whitmore mill is a two-story building 75x100 feet in dimensions,
with an L 2"x100 feet, and is fitted up with wood-working machinery of all kinds

First National Banck - Newark and Hudson
1887:
First National Bank of Hoboken, corner Newark and Hudson Streets.
The First National Bank of Hoboken stands foremost among the fiduciary institutions of the city and State.
It was incorporated thirty years ago as the Hoboken City Bank, and was reorganized under the
national banking laws with its present corporate name in 1865, and an extension of its
charter was obtained in 1885. The capital stock of the bank is $110,000, and it is officered
as follows, viz.: President, Saml. R. Syms; vice-president, Hazen Kimball; cashier, Wm. B. Goodspeed.
Directors, S. R. Syms, H. Kimball, T. Butts, J. W. Stickler, D. M. Demerest, J. C. Bessen, R. C.
Livingston, A. E. Crevier, Louis Becker, R. E. Gardner, J. H. Brown, 8. B. Dodd, and John Stevens.
This is not only one of the oldest banks of Hoboken, but is one of the best managed and most liberally
patronized. From the outset it has retained the confidence of the public in a marked degree.
A general banking business is transacted, including the receiving of deposits, the
discounting of approved commercial paper, the collection of drafts, etc. Under its present
wise and conservative management this bank is doing a large and safe business, all of its
movements being marked with prudence, caution, and honorable business methods. Its executive
officers are men with whom it is a pleasure to do business. Mr. Syms has for thirteen years
filled with ability the office of president of the bank, and Mr. Goodspeed has for twenty-three
years been responsibly connected with the institution, and since 1880 has been the efficient
cashier. The officers are all natives of New Jersey, and the Board of Directors comprises
much of the solid business element of the city. The surplus of the bank is $22,000, with
undivided profits aggregating $90,000, a showing which emphasizes the popular faith in the
institution by the public in general.
