The battle monument area of Trenton has seen dramatic changes over these many years. Above is a photo of one of the more vintage commercial establishments that was once located on the corner of Princeton and Pennington Avenues. The Mangold name is familar in the history of Kuser Mansion. A Mr. Mangold was the first caretaker in the early part of the 20th century. There is a possibility that there is a relationship with the pharmaceutical Mangold.-
Ralph Lucarella said... Tom....We had a Mr. Mangold as a neighbor on Bert Ave, in Villa Park in the early 30s. I don't recall what his profession was but he had a screened in tennis court on the lot next door to him. It was strange to see a home with a tennis court on a residential street but then again that area contained many prominent people at that time, including the Police Chief and Wm. Dearden, the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. Many teachers also lived in that neighborhood and people who were with St. Francis Hospital. It was a sad time whwn we had to move due to the depression. Best Regards.
