Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of New York City?s Central Park and Prospect Park, as well as many of the nation?s greatest parks and parkways, Cadwalader Heights is like an outdoor museum of Tudor, Georgian, Colonial Revival and Craftsman style homes. The neighborhood was home to Mary Roebling, wife to grandson of John A. Roebling, designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, and in 1957, one of the 10 wealthiest women in the country. Cadwalader Heights was also home to Judge Philip Forman who gave physicist Albert Einstein his U.S. Citizenship, and to former New Jersey Governor Richard J. Hughes.
