From the "COOPER HEWITT - TRENTON IRON COMPANY" folder, comes this article that reveals the fact the South Trenton was alive with steel producers back in the 19th century and up to the early 20th. I highlighted area in a darker gray to point to the location of the American Steel and Wire Company as I recall it in the 20th century. Remember that walkway bridge that spanned Hamilton Avenue, giving workers access to the other side of the factory?
