Newark Makerhoods at the Krueger-Scott Mansion — Attraction in Newark

Yesterday was absolutely an honor as well as an obligation in keeping the legacy alive for my grandmother, the late great Myrtle Simmons and the Awesome trail blazing, the late great Madame Louise Scott!

As I traveled throughout the halls of this monumental piece of history, traveling back to a time where my own grandmother walked those very same halls, gave me a feeling I truly can not convey other than honored and overwhelming joy.

Respect and love for the woman I have never had the pleasure of meeting, but whose spirit filled each and every room of this beautiful and masterful craftsmanship of architectural grandeur. The same woman who led my own grandmother to greatness in the world of business and taught her the importance of entrepreneurship at a time when African -American women fought to get the seat at the table. Avi, Alexis and my beloved Council-Woman-At-Large, Rev. Dr. Louise Scott-Roundtree, thank you for making a childhood fantasy come true. I am still basking in the awe of it all. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share to so many amazing Entrepreneurs and future Trail Blazers who have taken the leap of faith towards living out their own dreams.

The Uber excitement that I have for what Avi has created through Makerhoods , is uncontainable! So much greatness has come from the City of Newark and so many of us in business have The Late Great Madame Louise Scott to thank for it all…Her legacy LIVES ON!!!

So looking forward to the bright business partnerships and collaborations coming through us working together. Again, huge congratulations on making this vision a reality for so many seasoned & up and coming entrepreneurs. Thank you and can not wait to get together in the near future adding onto this amazing legacy in beauty...

An absolute spectacular project is underway at this time for the Krueger mansion property. I have personally seen some of the progress that is being made. it is a huge huge undertaking.

This will be a boon to the area. it will enhance the area, the people, an economics of the area.

march 2024 I will try adding some pictures of the original woodwork that had made its way to Gulfbreeze Florida then to Pensacola and then back to Newark to the mansion where it belonged. Praise to Mr. Telyas for having the foresight to acquire as much of the original interior restoration as possible.

This is a gorgeous building. I hope the renovations stay true to the historical architecture of this space. The basement, or ground level, has open mic nights and inclusive events through an organization called the Cryout Cave. These events here are awesome - welcoming, open-minded people, all invited. It's a great vibe and some of the best local music and artists...
