All of these photos (except the Griggs Ford photo) were taken by Dr. Sam Berg in October, 1964 and document this historic neighborhood shortly before it was bulldozed to make way for I-280. The photos are from the Berg Collection and are courtesy of the Newark Public Library. The south side of Main Street which includes The Beacon Movie Theater and The Barn restaurant is shown here in another post.
