The Avalon apartment building was built by Alva Wilcox around the year 1900. It is one of the larger apartment structures in Newark’s downtown and often functioned as a mixed commercial and residential space with apartments above and offices at street level. The architectural style of the structure is late Second Empire, which was popular during the Victorian era. The Avalon was saved from demolition and renovated in 2004.
