Peacock House – Elizabeth

The Peacock House is a two-story wood-framed house sheathed in smooth stucco painted white, rectangular in plan and capped by a red-tiled hipped roof with soffited eaves. Windows on the ground floor are casements set in round-arched openings; those on the second floor are double-hung and rectangular. The symmetrical front elevation features a central recessed arched entry trimmed with sandstone. According to city directories, the house was built c. 1928 and seems to have been used as a rental property for many years. The Peacock family has owned and resided in the house for about 15 years. The Peacock House is no longer owned by the Peacock family. It is a contributing resource in the Elizabeth Boulevard Historic District (local and national).
