The engraving above was rendered by Mr. Lloyd Van Sciver as an architectural drawing of the Van Sciver building on South Broad Street in Trenton. The feature article accompanying this post tells of the Van Scivers and their huge Camden furniture establishment. If you had furniture from J.B. Van Sciver, you were in possession of QUALITY!
As a young boy passing that that grand old structure on the "L-Liberty Street" Trenton Transit bus, a young Tom Glover had visions of knights in shining armor residing in that huge, castle-like structure.

I still have a gorgeous cherry drop leaf dining room table my parents bought from Van Sciver in the early 40's. It's in excellent condition and I keep the leaves down and only a runner on the top. It's often a conversation piece when I entertain because of its natural beauty and the way it has held up. The building was always a fascination as I bussed own from my grandparents' house on Second St.

Always referred to as "the castle" by folks around me:)
