Abstract
Description
The Krueger Mansion is located in Newark. This 40 room mansion was built on the corner of Court and Martin Luther King Boulevard by founder of Newark's Krueger Brewing Company and owner of several other breweries, Gottfried Krueger. It is a three-and-a-half-story, Late Victorian style building with a five-story circular tower. A wrap around porch, steeply pitched roof, asymmetrical facade and arched front entryway are characteristic of the Queen Anne Style.
The mansion was sold to the Valley of Newark Scottish Rite Freemasons in 1926 for $100,000. A 700-seat auditorium was added to the mansion to accommodate various meetings.
The mansion was purchased in 1958 by Louise Scott for $85,000. Scott operated a beauty school out of the first floor of the mansion while keeping the upper levels as her private residence.
As of 2023, the mansion had been almost completely restored and landscaped.
