dc.descriptionThe Taylor Bliss house, which has three stories and a fourth-floor tower, is one of the few remaining examples of a Second Empire Victorian home in Bergen County. Built in 1876, the Taylor Bliss home has housed many important figures from Englewood's history. It was once the home of Delos Bliss, a vice president at Palisade Trust and Guaranty, which is now known as Bank of America. Ethel Bliss, Delos' daughter, was a national tennis tournament champion in 1906 and was married to Mayor Dan Fellows Platt. The house was renovated in the 1980s and purchased by the Community Synagogue of Tenafly and Englewood, also known as Kehilat Kesher, in 2003. It was used for services when the congregation numbered about 50 families, but membership grew over the years. The congregation built a larger building behind the Bliss house in 2016.
