South Park Calvary United Presbyterian Church is a historic church built in 1853 and located at 1035 Broad Street in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Newark in Essex County, New Jersey. Only the facade remains, following a 1992 fire.[3][4] Also known as the South Park Presbyterian Church, it was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936.[5] The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 5, 1972, for its significance in architecture.[6]
History and description
The church was designed by architect John Welch, one of the founders of American Institute of Architects, using Greek Revival style. It features a portico in Nova Scotia brownstone with four Ionic columns. The church also features twin circular colonnaded towers.[6]
As of 2019, funding is in place to stabilize the facade and create an outdoor performance space behind it.[7][8]
