- From: Aroundabout Prospect Park; by Bert Nawyn ; Paterson News, aug. 2, 1977 .
... "The Tuit's moved into the North Sixth Street house right after they were married. Here they raised a large family and John Tuit for years conducted a painting business under the slogan "Let Tuit do it".The house on the corner of Fairview Avenue and North Sixth Street is an historic house in the borough of Prospect Park. Before the Tuit's lived there, the house was the home of Frank Breen. And it was there, in this house, one morning in late 1900 that three men met to discuss the creation of the borough of Prospect Park out of Manchester Township. They were Frank Breen, Cornelius van Noort, Andrew Hopper, Kryne Hook and Adrian Struyk, who at that time conducted a grocery store with his brothers Arie and Peter at the corner of North Bridge and Watson Streets. It was also here in this house that the boundaries for the borough were first laid and spelled out by the act of the legislature which created the
borough on March 13, 1901."....
"For years the Tuit home also served as the First District polling place and it was only after they sold the house that the polling place was changed to the American Legion Hall on North Eight Street."
