Newark Streets

Old Newark

875 Broad Street
This is a photo of my great grandfather E G Koenig, and his son, Albert S. Koenig. The E G Koenig Sporting Goods store was founded 1872 and lasted until 1925. The corner was the site of the parsonage for the Old First Church and was the birth site of Aaron Burr, third president of the United States. A book about the history of this store and its owners is to be released in the coming months. Watch for it! The building still stands and is one that deserves preservation by the City of Newark.
