Button Factory Lofts
posted January 24, 2010

Designed by Architect V. Nichols, the Button Factory is one of the few remaining examples of fine 19th Century industrial architecture in the Ironbound Section of Newark. Built in 1879 as the Barret – Brown Building, the building has classic Romanesque street façades with corbelled cornices and brick, brownstone & ceramic details. For many years, this mid-rise building was a factory that manufactured and stored buttons. In the post-industrial end of the 20th century, the building grew increasing frayed and underused. In the 21st century, realizing the bright potential of its location and the original beauty of its construction, we began to bring it back.
