The entirety of Stirling Street, along with all its dozens of brownstones, was cleared for the parking garage and parking lot of the Essex County Courts complex. Stirling street today runs through the middle of this super block.

“I came back to Newark the last day of 1965. Home, a few days, then I found a house on Stirling street, just above downtown Newark, where the interior neighborhoods began to unfold. It was an old three story building, now long gone. I moved in and had it painted light green, with details of red and green, like the flag of a Black nationalist movement. It was to be a site for poetry readings, a theater, a place to hold discussions formal and otherwise and a general gathering site . It soon became all those things.”
