Newark Unveiled: City Sights Soar

This silent film, Sightseeing in Newark, N.J., offers a vibrant tour of Newark in the 1920s. From Hudson Terminal (now Penn Station), the camera pans across the skyline from a towering downtown building, capturing historical landmarks and bustling streets. Scenes unfold at Branch Brook Park, Centre Market, and Broad & Market, with pixillated footage accelerating traffic at a downtown intersection. A playful backwards sequence at Springfield Avenue and Market Street dazzles, alongside City Hall, Weequahic Park, and Port Newark’s industrial pulse.
