Description
An account of the resource
The Newark Female Charitable Society used as its headquarters a three-story tall building located in Halsey Street. This structure was designed by R.H. Rowden, a local architect, in the Victorian Eclectic style with Romanesque features. The building is topped by a hip roof with a small gable in the main façade and tall chimneys on the sides. The predominant materials on the exterior, red brick and terracotta, define a Romanesque feel that is further accentuated by an articulated front entrance: a semi-circular arch resting on crocket capitals and pilasters. The arch is surmounted by a triangular pediment that bears this inscription: “Newark Female Charitable Society, organized in 1803.”
41 Hill Street is also a part of the Newark Female Charitable Society property. It is a three-story, red brick townhouse, which was purchased in 1912 to accommodate the expansion of the society's programming.
