1912 Ca. 1912 View of the Mercerville Roadhouse


I purposely scanned this photo in using 300 dpi in order to allow you to place your physical body right in the middle of Nottingham Way near "five points." With just a bit of imagination you can take a walk down that busy 2009 road and get a very good idea what it was like in the early part of the 20th century. Do I ever love these old street and town views! The trolley isheading back to downtown Trenton, passing the Mercerville Roadhouse which we all know of today as being Bill's Olde Tavern. It is said that the very first settlers in "Sandtown" lived in log cabins.
