CIRCA 1870'S: THE GREENE STREET MARKET

THIS WAS THE ERA WHEN IT WAS A COMMON SIGHT TO SEE A FARMER DRIVING A COW THROUGH CENTER CITY TRENTON TO THE BUTCHER WHERE FRESH BEEF WOULD BE SOLD AT THE GREENE STREET MARKET. THIS VIEW IS FROM STATE AND BROAD STREET, LOOKING UP NORTH BROAD STREET FROM STATE. PART OF THE ORIGINAL CITY HALL CAN BE SEEN ON THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT. TRENTON HAD A NUMBER OF MARKETS DURING THIS ERA.
