Had our town fathers widened the streets shown in the above map, the parking situation in downtown Trenton would have been much improved. The above map came from a 1922 news clipping which was pasted on a very faded scrapbook page, scanned hand colored and restored to its former black and white glory. What would ultimately become Princeton Avenue is shown as Beake's Lane; a road that lead to the sizeable Beake's estate.
