    Sitting in Military Park, at the heart of Newark’s downtown revival, Gutzon Borglum’s 1926 “Wars of America” monumental bronze is far more subtle than its massive size suggests, and possessing of a fascinating and complicated history few who pass by it each day are aware of. hat does Mount Rushmore, the Washington quarter, W and New York's famed Trinity Church Astor Doors all have in common? Gordon Bond All were created by sculptors who also have celebrated works in Newark, New Jersey. When people hear "Newark," they almost gardenstatelegacy.com/Monumental_Newark.html certainly don't think of a city full of monuments, memorials, and statuary by world renowned sculptors. Yet it is home to some forty-five public monuments reflecting a surprising artistic and cultural heritage—and an underappreciated resource for improving the City's image. With recent investment in Newark's revitalization, public spaces and the art within them take on an important role in creating a desirable environment. These memorials link the present City with a past when Newark was among the great American metropolises, a thriving center of commerce and culture standing its ground against the lure of Manhattan.

After moving to Newark five years ago, I decided to undertake the creation of a new guidebook that will update and expand on that idea.

  • Notes on Newark's Urban History
    & camport. IArch. Behav.. Val. 4, no. 2, p. 157-174 (1988) Notes on Newark's Urban History Jacques Gubler Department of Architecture Federal Institute of Technology 12, Avenue de l'Eglise Anglaise 1006 Lausanne Switzerland Summary The originality of Newark's city plan lies in the way in which the colonial set- tlement has been superimposed upon the Indian land pattern. What appears "irregular" in comparison with the usual orthogonal urban grid is, in this case, the use of a ratio- nal order based on a system of land measurement using the "chain" and the "rod. This system also allows for the formation of three triangular parks. La plan de la ville de Newark, dans le New Jersey, est gtnhalement dCcrit comme "irregulier" par rapport au modble de la grille orthofonale. L'originalite de ce plan reside dans la superposition au trace urbain indien preexistant de la nouvelle cite coloniale. L'ordre du dix-septibme sibcle, inscrit aujourd'hui dans la ville moderne, se base sur des mesures d'arpentage anciennes, la "chafne" et la "perche". Les trois parcs triangulaires suivent ce systbme. 1. The Indian Connection: They Gave Way * When, in 1666 (a year remembered for London's Great Fire), Newark was settled as "Town upon Passaik River in the province of New Jersey" (Records of the Town of Newark, New Jersey, 1864). the topography of the Place was not a wilderness ' . It was an open garden once cultivated by the Lenni Lenape Indians. From village to vil- lage, hills to shores, brooks to ocean, the land had been marked.
