Newark Lime and Cement Company

The Newark Lime & Cement Company was a firm based in Kingston, New York.

The company owned 250 acres including waterfront on the channel of the Rondout Creek.

The works consisted of twenty-one kilns for burning the stone, two mill buildings, four storehouses, capable of storing upwards of 20,000 barrels, a cooperage establishment, millwrights', wheelwrights', blacksmiths', and carpenters' shops, barns stables.

An extensive system of railways transported the stone from the quarries to the top of the kilns, where it was burned by being mixed with culm or fine coal, and then passed by a series of descents through the various stages of manufacture till it arrived in barrels at the wharf ready for shipment.

One artifact of the company is the ruin of its former mule barn, at the end of Yeomans St.
