St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church Rectory and School
St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church Rectory and School, Catholic church complex in Newark, United States.
The church incorporates both a rectory and a school building at 233 West Market Street, featuring Gothic Revival architecture with stone and brick construction.
Jeremiah O'Rourke designed the structure in 1871, responding to the Catholic population growth near the Morris Canal construction area in Newark.
The parish establishment in 1859 by Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley marked the beginning of organized Catholic worship for Newark's expanding religious community.
The complex underwent transformation after 1980, with the New Community Corporation converting sections into commercial spaces, offices, and a performance venue.
The cornerstone placement occurred on Thanksgiving Day 1872, yet construction delays pushed the dedication ceremony to April 18, 1880.
