CIRCA 1920'S "NORTH WILLOW NEAR SPRING STREET"




THANKS TO BILL KLEK FOR THE MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF TONY'S PLACE, AND ALSO TO SJBILL WHOSE EMAIL WAS SENT ALMOST THE SAME TIME AS BILL KLEK'S MAP.
 THIS IS NO LONGER A "MYSTERY PHOTO;" THANKS TO THESE GENTLEMEN.
MORE TO COME.
 
This is a mystery photo. Going via Google Earth to this area identified as "Willow Street Near Spring Street" proved to be a fruitless search. However, in looking over the area via Google, one realizes the incredible changes that have been made in the Trenton of old. Even though it is un-dated and the location not exactly confirmed, it is fascinating to see this old structure which was once located in today's Spring-Church-Passaic Street area.

Tom,

I'm pretty sure this old structure was beside the old D&R Canal. Chauncey Street appears to have run through to Spring St. from aerial maps, and this could be on that small triangle of land.

In the background is a semaphore signal - a part of the old Reading Terminal. To its left is a very tall flag pole which still stands in the circle just downhill from the Battle Monument.
