Maxfield's on Main is an historic building in the heart of Boonton that dates back to the 1890s. The current music house and kitchen takes its name from the Maxfield Hose & Engine Co. No. 1 in Boonton whose name remains on the building today. As local historians have documented, the land for the original building was gifted to the town by Mr. John Maxfield and constructed in the alleyway between Sarah Green and Mr. Maxfield's house on Main Street. The building was originally built as apparatus storage for the Engine Co. on the first floor with the second floor serving as police headquarters, jail, and a municipal courtroom. Since the Maxfield Engine Co. relocated to Boonton Avenue in the mid-1960s, the current building has been the home of many different retail businesses including a pool store (Posiedon Pools), video store and most recently a children's clothing store (Denim and Daisies). The current owners purchased the building in June 2012 and began lovingly restoring the building to capture the essence of the Maxfield Engine Co. The restoration included the installation of traditional carriage doors reminiscent of the firehouse as it appeared in 1896. Today, Maxfield's on Main serves as a venue where world-class musicians perform. Since obtaining their liquor license in July, Maxfield's now offers an array of signature drinks (Queen Bey, Sleepy Justin and Beet Carrot Shrub), 14 different beers on tap, and a growing wine list. Maxfield's also offers one of the best collections of top-shelf Scotches and Bourbons locally. But, liquor is not the only attraction at Maxfield's.
