  The oldest and most significant building is 305 Halsey Street, a 3-story red brick and terra cotta building that was built in 1886 by the Newark Female Charitable Society and designed by R. H. Rowden. It is "Victorian Eclectic in style with definite Romanesque features." The Society was founded by the leading ladies of Newark in 1803, making it the oldest social organization in New Jersey and the third oldest in the United States. The building at 41 Hill Street, adjacent to 305 Halsey, is a brick townhouse acquired by the Society in 1912 to house its expanding programs, although its maintenance proved expensive and it was sold by the Society in 1923. The two-story building next door at 43 Hill Street was constructed in 1977 as a medical and dental clinic. The entire complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
  The Society is now known as the Newark Day Center and functions as a community organization.
