I'm not 100% sure. We were trying to figure it out when we found the pic. I plan to walk over there tomorrow and look at it in the daylight.

We found a whole stack of them. Apparently my predecessor stole them from the library. I'm pretty sure the photos have been in the basement at my job for at least 15 years.

There was a pre-existing building there that was torn down to make way for the NNB (744 Broad). You can see the edges of it on the right side of this post-card, which depicts Broad Street looking north (Military Park in the distance). https://www.ebay.com/itm/223019543197
No idea what this building was.

The amount of beautiful buildings torn down in Newark is a travesty!!!

The way buildings were built back in the day is way different now.

I’m so confused. Are they taking the building on the right down? Why is there no wall on that side at all?
