Ambrose-Ward Mansion, Renaissance Revival mansion in East Orange, United States.

The three-story Ambrose-Ward Mansion features Roman Renaissance architectural elements across its 12,500 square feet of living space at South Harrison Street.

Built in 1889, the mansion transferred from Oliver De G. Vanderbilt to Harry Ambrose, president of American Book Company, before Edgar B. Ward acquired it.

The Black United Fund of New Jersey established its headquarters in this mansion in 1995, continuing its legacy as a significant community center.

Located at 132 South Harrison Street, the mansion stands on 1.2 acres of land and maintains regular office hours for visitors and community members.

This structure remains the final mansion from a collection that once lined South Harrison Street during the late nineteenth century development period.
