Bloomfield Green Historic District

The Bloomfield Green Historic District spans 100 acres with 181 buildings surrounding a rectangular park lined with mature trees and red sandstone structures.

The area began as Watesson in 1769, serving as a military training ground before the Presbyterian Church construction in 1796 established it as northern Newark Township's center.

The district contains educational institutions, religious buildings, and governmental structures that represent Federal, Greek Revival, and Gothic Revival architectural traditions.

The district boundaries extend along Belleville Avenue, Montgomery Street, Spruce Street, State Street, Liberty Street, and Franklin Street in Essex County.

Seibert Hall stands as a rare example of early 19th-century educational architecture in New Jersey, featuring detailed wrought-iron grillwork on its front portico.
