Museum of Newark's Transportation History Design 2011
The Museum Proposal is intended to save the crumbling structure which used to be the Newark Jailhouse. The neglect of the property lead to salvaging and re-purposing most of the structure into the Museum of Newark's Transportation History. There were four main modes of transport in Newark's history. Ground circulation by wagon then car, water transportation through the canal and river systems. The last is Air transportation with the construction of Newark International Airport. This design Proposal incorporates all three modes with exhibits on each level.
