Maplewood Mansion Glassboro[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

All I could find in terms of reliable sources are those three and a half lines captioning a photograph of the place. In particular, I found no evidence to back up the claim that it is registered as historic. All in all, I think that it doesn't quite meet the notability criterion.

Delete A book about Glassboro, New Jersey contains this mention of the mansion, witha photo and a brief caption. There doesn't appear to be much more in other sources. Alansohn (talk) 20:48, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it may be locally historic but, aside from that, then there's simply nothing to suggest its own notable article. SwisterTwister talk 07:16, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I try to find a place where the house could be mentioned. This is about the house named "Maplewood" (probably not "Maplewood Mansion"), built in 1856 and occupied by Thomas Stanger and family (per google books source with pic mentioned by others above). The pic shows a Stick style house, and the Stanger family is prominent in Glassboro, and it looks like the house potentially could have significance high enough to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places (which does cover sites of local significance, if they are well enough preserved, etc.) There is no NRHP-listed historic district in Glassboro (per National Register of Historic Places listings in Gloucester County, New Jersey). If there was a pic of the house (not present in article), perhaps the house could be mentioned at an article about the Whitney(?) glassworks owned by the Stanger family, which was apparently very significant. About "HISTORY OF GLASS MAKING IN GLASSBORO NJ (1780-1929)", see here. Perhaps the appropriate level of coverage would be to include a picture of the house with a short caption. But there is no article about glassmaking in Glassboro as far as I can tell. (There is List of defunct glassmaking companies.) Or a pic could arguably be included in Glassboro, New Jersey#History, which mentions various names of glass companies there. (Or perhaps the house could be mentioned at the Whitney Mansion (Glassboro, New Jersey) article, an article about a National Register-listed house which I am only speculating could have some connection, if that article were expanded.) But with no pic currently available, and not much in the article to save, I have to conclude "Delete" is appropriate now. --do ncr am 21:28, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
