1909: PROGRESS vs. HISTORY; PROGRESS WINS

One of the nightmares of those of us who treasure historic buildings is typified by the photo and the article above. That beautiful old building would be a local treasure today had the town fathers in Trenton had a bit of feel for local history.It's interesting to note that even the historical society found no historic significance to the edifice! Even though the structure dates back to Colonial times, note the gas street lamp in the photo.
