History of the Building
The Bowers Building was originally built in 1890 next door to Newark’s first skyscraper, the Firemen’s Insurance Company.
The skyscraper was a glittering, white, sixteen-story building located two-hundred feet away from the Bowers Building. Today, the Firemen’s Insurance Company still stands adjacent to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on Park Place.
The Bowers Building was originally constructed as a typical, dark brick, three-story commercial building with wood-framed, ground storefronts, adorned with eclectic features including classic, medieval, Eastern motifs.
The Bowers Building is located among a sea of other dark, Victorian buildings and was severely altered sometime between 1916 and 1924. It was built in an era of prosperity influencing merchants to lighten, upgrade and modernize.
