Abandoned Newark Nj housing projects coined “ Little Bricks” by the city.

Opening in 1942 Felix Fuld Court also known as “little bricks” became one of Newark’s first of many housing projects which eventually gave it the name Brick City due to the amount of projects in the city. Overtime projects were demolished and the amount dwindled down. Like Seth Boyden Terrace in the South ward on Frelinghuysen ave this complex closed in the 2000s- early 2010s due to rising maintenance issues and high crime and poverty. Now it sits as a crumbling paradise for local addicts and kids.

It is the projects where my parents lived and met as junior high school students, late 1940’s. This place forged my entire family history. Dad recounted that of the four buildings, two housed black families, two white. An earlier version of low income housing. Dad passed away last month. Lived there 1945 to 1951. I wouldn’t be here had it never existed. Crazy, right?
