Join architectural historian and Jersey City preservationist John Gomez for a series of specially curated 2-hour Save the Powerhouse Walking Tours and experience the area’s rich industrial landscape and atmospheric architectural fabric. Stops on the tours include:
The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company complex of adaptively-reused warehouses, now home to residences, art studios, galleries, cafes, and other retail businesses and commercial occupants
The 19th-century cobblestone and railroad track remnants of Provost Street, one of only five remaining old world stone-paved streets in Jersey City
The “Gallery of Ancient Tenements” on Steuben Street, a mid-19th-century row of tenement buildings — some revived, others abandoned, and one famously leaning — with each edifice holding the faces, voices, and stories of the immigrant families that once occupied their rooms and storefronts
An archaeological maritime relic site on Warren Street, discovered accidentally in 1992 on Warren Street by Public Service crews and re-entombed due to the demands of local preservation advocates
The Butler Brothers Building — now the exclusive Modera Lofts residences with ground-floor retail and art galleries — a 1902-1904 warehouse colossus designed by Chicago-based architect Jarvis Hunt, nephew of world-renowned American architect Richard Morris Hunt
Engine House No. 1, a 1906 firehouse on Morgan Street designed by prominent Jersey City architect George W. Von Arx and home in the 1990s to Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit
The majestic central tower of the National Register of Historic Places-designated Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse
