1936: SOUTH BROAD APPROACHING LIBERTY STREET

The original R.C. Maxwell photo from which this graphic has been extracted and enhanced, gives a splendid, detailed view of the part of town so familiar to all. The locally famous "widow's watch" can be seen in the far right. One can almost feel like they are back in 1936 with those great old cars and the South Broad Street as it was 77 years ago.

we lived on liberty for one year before moving to Hamilton. I went to Franklin school for 3rd grade. each day I walked down Liberty street,crossed Broad street at the bank.I passed by Prior,s donuts every morning.I can still smell those fresh potato donuts. Best in Trenton.
