1875: CHAMBERSBURG-IN THE BEGINNING

Over the years I have found that many people consider the Chambersburg of the 20th century centered around Mott, Bayard, Emery, Butler and other streets in the immediate area. A quick look at the map extracted from the 1875 Evert and Stewart Atlas of the city of Trenton will show that Robert Chambers did indeed built a hotel and other buildings in the area of Houghton, Coleman, Cass, and South Broad Street.
