Long standng building now houses Klondike Kates & a Barber Shop.
|
Klondike Kate’s is one of the oldest business locations on Newark’s Main Street. For more than 242 years, its been providing entertainment in a variety of ways. The establishment was called "Three Hearts Tavern" on a map from 1757. In 1797 it became "Hossinger’s Tavern". A map was published in 1860, which cites B.F. Herman as the proprietor of the "Newark Hotel". In 1880 the hotel became the "Exchange Building" and had shops, office space an apartments. Around the turn of the century, it was used as a furniture store.
Everett C. Johnson took this over to begin publication of the "Newark Post". From 1905 to 1915 it was used as a courtroom and a jail. The jail cells are in the basement and it still exists today. The location came to be known as "Squire Lovett’s Courthouse and Jail". Some people recall when it was used as Newark’s roller skating rink. In the twenties, the building became identified with the "Horseless Carriage". Joseph Brown opened a replacement parts business in 1929 and sold the property in 1977.

1. The DATE has been SET for the 3rd annual HOLIDAY HOMECOMING EVENT! Mark your calendars and set aside Saturday, November 28, 2009, for the Newark High School Alumni Association's 3rd annual Holiday Homecoming event at the DEER PARK HOTEL. Please visit the HAPPY HOLIDAY page for more information. We anticipate that we will again host reservations and ticket sales at this website. STAY TUNED and VISIT HERE often for more information
2. NEWARK NIGHT 2009 was a great success for the City of Newark and the Newark High School Alumni Association. The NHSAA stand was set-up right next to Cafe Gelato's stand in front of the old school district administration building. Lottery tickets and clothing items were popular with the crowds and sales were quite good. Old memories brought smiles to those who found photographs of their graduating classes. The photos were given away as a gift to anyone who wanted one! A number of very nice photographs showing scenes from Newark Night 2009 can be found on FLICKR!
3. Are you looking to find a NHS Class of '66, '67 or '68 Classmate? Visit FACE BOOK and search for your friends and classmates. Setting up your own page on FACE BOOK is easy and best of all it is free! See you on FACE BOOK!
4. An IDEA presented; needs to take shape!! Well we didn't get a huge response on the idea of holding a group birthday party for all of us who turned 60 - like the Class of 1967. But the webmaster of CARPE DIEM can vouch for several private parties that were a hoot. Just ask Gail Maclary Chickersky, Mike Dutton, Betsy Lambert and Margie Mayer Masino. Bet they'll be happy to report they had some fun celebrating their birthdays!!
5. The NHS Carpe Diem web site offers a way to support HOFFMAN Field at Newark High School. A new Purchase Option is now available on this website. You are now able to make a contribution to the Yellowjacket Boosters in support of the lighting system replacement (which is complete, but not fully paid-off) and other worthy projects to upgrade HOFFMAN Field at Newark High School.
6. We would like to draw your attention to the ALUMNI ASSOC menu item at the left hand side. When you select that item you are taken to the MERCHANDISE display for the Newark High School Alumni Association. Please consider making a purchase of one or more items to help fulfill your 2009 Holiday gift list!! THANKS So Much for LOOKING!!
7. Take a look at our LINKS page! There are links there for the Newark High School Alumni Association, for Newark High School, and for the Yellowjacket Boosters who are raising money for Hoffman field lights and other upgrades.
