Join the Fight to Preserve the Plume House - Click here for details.....
WELCOME TO The Newark Preservation & Landmarks Committee (NPLC) on-line. Our award-winning logo shows the 18th century Plume House "preserved" in a Mason jar tells the story...
Since our early days the Committee has been identified by a unique
logotype -- an historic building "preserved" inside a canning
jar. The symbol was designed by Johnson & Simpson, a graphic design
firm that was at one time on Bleeker Street opposite the
Rutgers-Newark campus. Milton Simpson, a strong supporter of preservation,
arranged to put a photograph of the Plume House, one of the oldest in
Newark, into a Mason jar, and then took a picture of it. The Plume House serves as an important reminder that Newark, New Jersey is the third oldest city in the United States with a diverse and rich culture that deserves to be protected. We hope you enjoy our updated website, as we continue to make improvements on sharing our story of preservation. We hope also that you will consider joining us in this very important work of preserving American treasures for future generations to enjoy. IT'S YOUR HISTORY! Join NPLC Today -- the time for preservation is NOW. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2011 TOURS WITH LIZ DEL TUFOLiving In Newark New Year's Eve Tour of Newark Churches
