It is roughly bounded by Glenridge Avenue, the NJ TRANSIT Boonton Line, Pine and Baldwin Streets. The district, also known as the Montclair Working Class Housing Historic District, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 2000 for its significance in architecture and social history.

The three-story buff brick multi-family residence at 70 Pine Street was built around 1924 and features Classical Revival architecture. The three-story red brick residential buildings at 78 and 80 Pine Street were built around 1912 and feature Renaissance Revival architecture.[3] The house at 17 Grant Street was built around 1890 and was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1996.[4]
