SQUARE FOOTAGE
The Historic Newark Arcade was built in 1909 and served as home to a variety of local businesses. It is Ohio’s first-ever glass ceiling arcade and is one of the four remaining in the state. To restore the old charm and bring the building back to life, we updated the entire structure and provided space for a variety of shops, restaurants and apartments as well as 8.500 square feet of community space to accommodate a variety of events. The restoration of this historic landmark preserves Newark’s rich history while continuing the revitalization of Newark Square.
When I was a little kid, I used to come here to barbershops and little stores and buy comic books and all that kind of stuff. What’s going to be so cool is seeing this place restored to its original splendor, where everybody can take advantage of it. It’s going to be a great celebration.
