Feigenspan Mansion was built in 1905 for Christian Feigenspan, owner of one of the largest breweries in the country and known for the manufacture of a brand of beer called the “Pride of Newark”. One of only a few surviving mansions of its style in Newark, the house was designed in the Second Renaissance Revival Style by Warrington Lawrence.  It’s unusual design addressed the needs and accessibility of Mrs. Marie Feigenspan, who used a wheelchair.

This grant will help fund the rehabilitation of the mansion and restoration of its historic finishes.  The project is guided by a Trust-funded preservation plan.  The building will house community services programs.
