A note from Tom:The original offset photo from an old 1910 Sunday Times Advertiser "LANDMARKS" feature was completely washed out and many areas illegible. I took artistic license and enhanced the balcony on the front end of the "flatiron" building's second floor which many local politician used as a stage for his plea to be elected. It was impossible to enhance the entrance way to the building, but if you look closely, you will see the figures of two men standing under the signs.
What a fascinating story! I have spent considerable time trying to bring out more of the detail in this very poor early 1910 offset photo of the old Rawnsley landmark. South Trenton is one of our historic treasures in Mercer County, and it is unfortunate that not much is written about the area. I have a special interest in that area, due mainly to the fact that I am a communicant at Trenton's historic Sacred Heart Church. I'm sure you will agree that this is fascinating history.
