1937: W. STATE ST AND HILDEBRECHT AND STACY TRENT

I am in the process of re-formatting those R.C. Maxwell Trenton photos from the Duke University Library's collection. My early posts were erroneously made without using the proper copyright "Fair Use" rules as expected by the Duke Library. The above photo is the way these copyright photos should be displayed: With the credit going to the Duke Library along with the "XX" catalog number of the specific photo. These photos are historical treasurers and I want to be sure any of those that I post are within the U.S. copyright laws. Additionally, I have reproduced them in original grayscale and at a high resolution rates so they can be enlarged without losing focus. Thank you PhotoShop!

1937: WEST STATE AND WILLOW STREET

Here's a zoomed in view from the Duke University Library R.C. Maxwell file number XXX3527 which gives a beautiful closeup of the Stacy Trent and Hildebrecht hotels including the Llewellen corner drug store as it looked in the year 1937.

1937: W. STATE AND WILLOW: A CLOSER LOOK

This is a segmented enlarged view of a small portion of the preceding post showing W. State and Willow in a wider field of view. Through the magic of digital imaging the above pristine cutaway gives a closer look at the Hotel Stacy Trent and down the street a bit, the Hotel Hildebrecht.

1950: THE HOTEL HILDEBRECHT

What a great photo! Here's a familiar view of the city of Trenton back in the years of the Stacy Trent Hotel and the venerable Hotel Hildebrecht. Traveling down that area today one finds a completely different landscape.

1928: THE HOTEL HILDEBRECHT

ONE OF THE VERY SAD THINGS ABOUT HOSTING A WEB PAGE IS IN THE VERY UNFORTUNATE FACT THAT THE GENERATION WHO REMEMBER THE HOTEL STACY TRENT AND THE HOTEL HILDEBRECHT ARE OVER THE AGE OF 65 AND VERY FEW SENIOR CITIZENS ARE INTERESTED IN THE COMPUTER. THEY ARE MISSING SO MUCH! THEY WOULD REMEMBER THE HILDEBRECHT AND THE STACY TRENT, ALONG WITH MANY OF THE IMAGES FROM THE PAST ON THIS SITE AND MANY OTHERS.
