1945: LINCOLN SCHOOL TRENTON NJ BECOMES JUNIOR 5

Did you know that along with Junior 1, Junior 2, Junior 3 and Junior 4, there was a Junior 5? It was located on North Montgomery street and I suspect near the canal. I did a bit of digging and found that the newspapers of the day were placing the actual location on North Montgomery and Holland Street. I find no record of Holland Street in the area of North Montgomery in early maps of the area. Perhaps a visitor can enlighten us as to the location of the building. 
Unfortunately, the graphic showing the impressive structure which is at the top of the graphic above, is a faded black and white scan, devoid of any real detail which you are accustomed to seeing on this blog. 

Tom,

I went to Junior 5 starting in 1947. I lived on Clay Street and walked up Mercer to Montgomery to Jr 5 midblock between Holland and Princeton Ave. I believe Blakeley Laundry was next door to the school. PJ Hill was the principal and Mr. Bozo my HR teacher.I have many good memories of good old Junior 5.

Tom,

I attended Junior High #5, having survived McKinley Elementary, from Sept of '54 until June of 1957. It was indeed on North Montgomery but I don't recall the cross street. It was on the right side of N. Montgomery headed north. P.J. Hill was the principal when I attended. Many fine memories from those long ago days.
