Hello Dilletante,
We are trying to restore the facade at the left of the photo above, at 143 Newark. Do you have any more historical photos? Or where did you find the photo of 145 Newark? Anything would be helpful, thanks. --Diana

Hello Diana,
I got that picture from this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Jersey-Images-America-Patrick-Shalhoub/dp/0738538159/sr=8-1/qid=1164423879/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-3498218-1767242?ie=UTF8&s=books
As for photos of 143 Newark, try the New Jersey Room at the Library on Jersey Avenue.
What are you building there, if you don't mind me asking?
