1805 AND 1806 TRENTON'S HISTORIC FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

 

 

In digging into the past history of the most famous Presbyterian church in the are, I came across a number of very interesting articles relating to the early years of the church and the search goes on. I found it particularly interesting as I dug way back to the years when the church was constructed in order to replace what was called the "Presbyterian Meeting House." Above are 3 very relevant articles that I have taken the time to embellish with appropriate tweaks in order to magnify the significance of these early 1800's news articles.

1934: CENTER CITY TRENTON, 81 YEARS AGO

Were it not for the incredible tweaking features available in Adobe's "PhotoShop" I would never be able to make light areas darker and dark areas lighter, sharpen the focus, change from sepia to gray scale and countless other "tweaks" that result in an historic R.C. Maxwell photo showing the old Hotel Windsor, Woolworth's, and for the real old timers, I will see how many can identify that huge arched architectural gem on the immediate left in the photo, across the street from Trenton's beautiful First Presbyterian Church. Hint: "TSFS."
