Title A name given to the resource Public Spaces Subject The topic of the resource public spaces parks (recreation areas) Physical Object An inanimate, three-dimensional object or substance. Use this for buildings, artworks and public spaces. Note that digital representations of, or surrogates for, these objects should use Moving Image, Still Image, Text or one of the other types. State Current state of the building or project (ex. demolished, unbuilt). extant Condition History Though some buildings have remained in use and well-maintained, such as the Newark Museum and Public Library, there has been an overall struggle to preserve the area. After the riots in the 1960s and the subsequent departure of the middle and upper classes, many buildings faced demolition. However, concerned residents took action to preserve the area, and the district was put on the National Register of Historic Places in the late 1970s, and in 2012, "James Street Commons was recognized by the national Advisory Council on Historic Preservation as a 'Preserve America Community'" (Gibson), Bibliography Books: Gordon, Mark W., and Anthony Schuman, editors.
