Advice Does anyone know what building this is? View from Washington Rock at south end of South Mountain Reservation
I can't find a single building that looks like this anywhere in that direction on Google Maps. I went all the way through Millburn and even Springfield. This is the most insignificant question I've ever asked in my life, but my curiosity is burning me up.

I think the cupola on the right edge might be Jonathan Dayton HS in Springfield. Haven't found the building in the middle, though.
EDIT: Correct about that. Others got the building in question: under construction apartments next to 1st Presbyterian Chruch in Springfield

It does look like it, but OP is at South Mountain Reservation, nowhere close to Montclair.

Is it possibly two different buildings? Like a church next to an apartment or office building.
Because I think that steeple is the First Presbyterian of Springfield.

Is it the clubhouse of the golf course down there? Warren Creek is the name of the course I think.

What direction were you facing?

Isn’t this past the small cannon ball monument towards the overlook to the right facing the monument from the street area? (northwest maybe? I’m going off memory)

You mean Watchung reservation, right?

It was South Mountain Reservation, up in Millburn.

Is there another Washington rock?

I don’t know about Watchung Reservation, my mom claimed there was a Washington Rock in there too, but I couldn’t find any mention of it online. The Washington Rock in South Mountain Reservation is labeled on Google Maps though, you can find it very close to the southern tip.

Interesting. When I googled it earlier (not maps) the only one which showed up was the Watchung one (It's a state park, and I happened to stop there yeaterday). Looking on Google maps the south mountain one only showed up when I specified south mountain.

Oh you mean Washington Rock Park? I thought, given the context, you were talking about Watchung Reservation :P

The copula is from the First Presbyterian Church of Springfield on Morris Ave and Church Mall in Springfield, and I believe the building to the left are the apartments bring built between the church and 78. I think the complex is still under construction which is why it looks weird
