1873: Remember the "Original Trenton Cracker?"

Adam Exton's cracker factory was a thriving industry back in the 19th and early 20th century. The manufacturing complex still stands on Centre Street, and the building is being renovated and will ultimately be made into apartments. My friend Billy Powers from DeSantis Mason establishment is busily re-pointing and repairing the red bricks on the building. Centre Street holds a special fascination for me. The antiquity of the area as it is today still maintains a bit of the old Centre Street as it was in the 1800's and early 20th century. Of special fascination to me is the old Centre Street Theater building, now a pharmacy. However, the old cement "Centre Street Theatre" is still proudly displayed on the top front of the old building.
