1888: DAVID QUINTIN'S RIDING ACADEMY

Even as the city of Trenton identifies it as Quniton Avenue, I'm sure it was an easy mistake to make, and assuming the street was named for Villa Park's historic Quintin Race Track, it should be identified as Quintin Avenue. The article above places the riding academy with the boundaries of No. Stockton, Academy and Commerce Streets with the canal to the east. What is not known at the present time is whether the Academy property encompassed the entire block or was just a building on the block. Perhaps future finds on the academy will turn up.
