Title A name given to the resource South Park Presbyterian Church, Broad Street & Clinton Avenue, Newark, NJ Subject The topic of the resource churches (buildings) Description An account of the resource South Park Presbyterian Church is one of the finest examples of the Greek Revival located in Lincoln Park (formerly known as South Park). The exterior of the church, reminiscent of the work of William Strickland, is composed of a tetrastyle Ionic porch bearing an unadorned pediment flanked by two corner towers. These towers are a direct reference to the " Choragic Monument of Lysicrates" located in Athens, Greece. The exterior is also notable for its Nova Scotia brownstone.
