1928: SOUTH BROAD STREET MILL HILL - JOHN RAUM'S BIRTH PLACE

The mini article extraction above is from October 1928. It locates the birthplace of Trenton's most important historian, John Raum, whose "History of Trenton" is a favorite of those of us who love the incredibly interesting stories of old time Trenton. My interest in Mill Hill has increased over the past 20 years, as I became a parishioner at Sacred Heart parish, just up the street from the photo, on the other side of South Broad Street. Covello's Pizza shop is listed as 312 So. Broad Street, and it is assumed that the Raum home site would be in the area of the buildings in the far distance in the photo.
