Historic architecture and community spirit in Springfield-Belmont
Springfield-Belmont, a small residential neighborhood of Newark, is located in what is known as the Central Ward.

Springfield-Belmont is home to varied grand architecture, mainly found on Martin Luther King Boulevard. These historic buildings add character to the neighborhood's central pipeline, including the vast art deco structure that houses Arts High School near the large, brown-bricked Cathedral of St. James AME Church and the Krueger-Scott Mansion.
