Courtesy Heritage House Sotheby's International - SwedesboroIf you’re looking forward to next week’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, you should give a nod of thanks to onetime N.J. resident Herbert Nathan Straus. His family owned the department store in 1924 when the annual holiday spectacle made its debut.
And if you’re looking for a showy, one-of-a-kind of place to live — and have a couple of million dollars to spend — you should check out the late Straus’ Cobble Close Farm estate in Middletown, with a Red Bank mailing address, in Monmouth County.
