1934: THE FLORENCE CRITTENDON MISSION EDGEWOOD AVENUE

It seems that the farther one gets from the city, the better chance that an old historic building will survive the wrecker's ball. This old 1934 photo of the mansion on Edgewood is still alive and well as can be seen in the graphic as seen in the birds' eye view.

Old Newspapers Are the Best Newspapers!

A NOTE FROM TOM:

Many of the articles and news photos posted on this site are extracted from my collection of Trenton newspapers. They include the Trenton Times, the Daily State Gazette, and the Daily True American. Additionally, as an enthusiast of local history for many years, there are many clippings which were in the many scrapbooks I have collected over the years. I began manually transcribing this historical material before computers and scanners became available. Some of these papers are in very poor condition, and you will note that many of the transcribed articles have only the date and subject listed. Additionally, the photos from the early 20th century are quite primitive, and were produced before the offset/printing process was perfected.
