Condition History
The house was built for newlyweds John and Susannah Sydenham around 1711. The house was expanded in 1836, with renovations done to the back portion, and the section's roof being raised. The house remained in the possession of the Sydenham family for 200 years and it was sold in 1954. Dorland and Elizabeth Henderson, owners of the house beginning in 1954, worked on the authentic restoration of the house. The Hendersons gifted the house to the Newark Museum in the late 1990's, but the museum declined because of the cost of upkeep. More renovations on the interior have been executed by present private owners to reflect contemporary living standards.

Condition History
In the Post-War era, as a result of rapid suburbanization and simmering racial conflicts, which culminated in 1967 riots, the population of Newark dwindled, so did the number of Jews. Ahavas Sholom started to become an untenable operation. Recently, however, thanks to the establishment of New Jersey's Jewish Museum on the premises of the synagogue, Ahavas Sholom is almost thriving.

Condition History
This house was originally a rectory for Trinity church. Reverend Matthew H. Henderson lived in this house for nearly 48 years, until 1865. When the house was bought by the Symington family in 1888, they began remodeling the interior, and built additions. Symington House was one of the many mansions lining the north side of Military Park in the early 1800s. With the development of downtown Newark, most of these mansions were demolished with the exception of Symington House and Ballantine House, the latter fronting Washington Park. In 1965, the house was purchased by the Continental Insurance Company. They allowed the Newark Tercentennial Committee to use the building as its headquarters for the city's 300th anniversary. At this time, restoration was done on the building.

Condition History
In 1941, it was purchased by the Metropolitan Baptist Church that installed an organ and redecorated the church to fit the new congregation. The building was purchased in 1995 by an organization called The Greater Newark Conservancy, who renovated the interior and exterior of the synagogue. In 2014, previously stolen stained glass windows were recovered, restored, and re-installed. Portions of the newly renovated and restored Conservancy were opened in December 2015.

Description
An account of the resource
The Oheb Shalom Congregation building is the oldest extant synagogue in Newark. This building was constructed in 1884 and presents an eclectic combination of Gothic and Moorish styles. The Rose window and projecting tower coexist with horseshoe-shaped arches, twin finial-topped domes, and oriental details on the front facade of this free-standing synagogue. The stained-glass windows are ornate with Jewish symbols such as the star of David, the Torah and the Menorah.

There was a previous schoolhouse located at Chancellor & Elizabeth Avenues, but was burned down in 1782. The schoolhouse that was rebuilt in 1984 is the one that stands today. It was used until 1902, and in 1938, the schoolhouse was moved to the Newark Museum garden with the help of the Works Progress Administration. The schoolhouse has recently been restored.

Condition History
In the early 1990's, the Walsh Homes were deteriorating and were 60% vacant. The Newark Housing Authority (NHA) received an award in 1993 from the HOPE VI program, a program created by Congress in 1992 to address problems of severely distressed public housing. The award was originally intended for a revitalization project of the Walsh Homes, but a revised plan in 1995 called for the demolition and reconstruction of the Homes. The new development was designed to be half the size of the original residences and built as townhouses rather than high-rises. The property is currently being developed by the NHA to house The Waterfront, a sports, arts, and entertainment complex, designed by Comito & Associates. The groundbreaking for this project took place in October, 2010.

Condition History
The City Hospital in Newark opened in 1882, and initially used the North wing of the Almshouse, located on the corner of Elizabeth Ave. and Concord St. In 1884, the hospital moved to the former Insane Asylum on Fairmount Ave. In the late 1880's, this structure was torn down and replaced with a red brick building. In 1925, the North wing was added. At this point the hospital was four stories and included a central building, two wings, a solaria, and the north wing. In 1954, construction began on a new hospital building, located behind the old hospital facing Bergen St. This building was completed in 1958 and named the Harrison S. Martland Medical Center, and today is known as University Hospital. The City Hospital was later demolished.

Condition History
Originally, the house was owned by the Plume family, early settlers, who built it in 1725. During the Revolutionary War, legend has it that George Washington visited the house. In 1849, the house was sold to the adjacent House of Prayer Church, thereby changing its function to a rectory. In 1874, an addition was added in the rear. Of particular importance, during this period, is the work carried out by Rev. Hannibal Goodwin in the attic of this house where he invented the celluloid film. Since the U.S. Court of Appeals 1914 decision, Goodwin has been acknowledged as the true inventor of flexible film, a crucial product for the development of the motion picture industry.
Recently, concerns have been raised over the structural integrity of the house, jeopardized by the vibrations of the I-280 highway overpass at close proximity to this house. The “Friends of the Plume House”, a non-profit organization created in 2014, is advocating for the preservation and restoration of the Plume house.

An account of the resource
This Dutch Colonial house is the second oldest extant building in Newark. This building features certain characteristics of 18th century residential architecture in America such as hand-hewn timber framing and flooring, and locally quarried sandstone. On the exterior a pedimented porch stands out in the symmetrical façade, while two chimneys mark the edges of the gable roof. On the interior, deep window sills for the windows and prominent wood paneling enhance the character of the colonial domestic style.

Condition History
The house was originally built for the family of James J. Dickerson, a leather manufacturer. James A. Coe purchased the house in 1886. The Coe family owned the James A. Coe & Company, the leading merchants of steel and hardware in Newark. In the early 20th century, the open two-story porch around the southeast corner of the house was enclosed to accommodate a billiard room and summer bedrooms. James Coe died in 1933 and his family continued to occupy the house until 1947, when it was sold to Benjamin Kulper. The house has continued to function as a residence with the exception of a period of 20 years when it was owned by a social service agency that did not occupy the premises.

Description
An account of the resource
The Glencoe Mansion is located on the easterly side of Martin Luther King Boulevard, formerly known as High Street. High Street was one of the most prominent locations of Newark with high end residential buildings occupied by affluent families. The Glencoe Mansion is a three-story brick building and it was designed in the High Victorian Italianate Style. As such, it has been highly decorated both inside and out. On the main façade (west), there are three bays articulated beautifully with architectural elements. Floor divisions are expressed by horizontal brick belt coursing separating tall windows and door openings, mostly topped with segmental-arch lintels. The third floor has a reduced height that accentuates the building mass when viewed from below. The symmetry of the façade is broken by the northernmost bay projecting forward and capped by a gable roof. In this bay there is variety from the first floor’s box bay to the bracket supported hooded lintel on the second floor, culminating in the paired round-arched windows on the third floor. The main entrance is part of a lavishly ornamented wooden open porch. The other façades, with the exception of the south elevation, are not as articulate and ornamented. On the interior, this mansion demonstrates the same attention to ornamentation with plaster walls and ceilings, crown moldings, medallions for lighting fixtures, wood parquet floors, and bronze hardware.
A Carriage House is located at the rear of the property.
