Seth Boyden housing projects
The Seth Boyden housing projects, named after Seth Boyden, is a former public housing complex in the South Ward of Newark, New Jersey.
The project, one of the city of Newark's first attempts at providing public housing, opened in 1941.[1][2][3] The three-story buildings located at Frelinghuysen Avenue, Center Terrace, Dayton Street, and Seth Boyden Terrace contain 530 apartments.[4][3]
In 1942, the 530 families who lived in the project, along with their 1000 children, were put under quarantine when three children were stricken with paralysis.[5]
There is currently Seth Boyden Elderly housing still in use through the Housing Authority of Newark, New Jersey.[6] As of 2020, the Seth Boyden Terrace housing project in Newark was abandoned.[7]
