The stately James P. Bartle cobblestone farmhouse was built on what is now West Miller Street in Newark in 1836. Bartle, served in the New York State Assembly as well as Supervisor of the Town of Arcadia, operated the first store in Newark. He was a veteran of the War of 1812 and was a prominent businessman. The house was demolished in 1938 to make way for the new junior high school. Richard Palmer blog.
