The Birthplace of Filmmaking

By Linda Tancs

Hooray for…Fort Lee?  That’s right, the northern New Jersey borough’s filmmaking past gives Hollywood a run for its money.  In the early 1900s, the former Rambo Saloon, a Civil War-era house on First Street, was used as a dressing room and as a front for the Westerns being filmed in the area.  Recently saved from demolition, the house will be converted into affordable housing units.
