State Current state of the building or project (ex. demolished, unbuilt). extant 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. Bibliography Gordon, Mark W., and Anthony Schuman, editors.
