THIS EDIFICE WAS DEMOLISHED TO MAKE WAY FOR WASHINGTON ROEBLING'S MANSION. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE AREA BEING AS RURAL AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO?+++++++++++++++
THIS IS A RESPONSE TO A VISITOR WHO PREFERS ANONYMITY, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL REQUESTING THE LOCATION OF ROEBLING'S "RICHMOND HILL."
"OMAD:"
"RICHMOND HILL" WASN'T A SECTION OF TRENTON. IT WAS THE NAME OF THE WASHINGTON ROEBLING ESTATE. IT WAS LOCATED ON WEST STATE STREET BEYOND THE SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS. THE PROPERTY EXTENDED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIVER (STACY PARK AREA). I'M NOT SURE, BUT I THINK IT IS NOW THE LOCATION OF STATE BUILDINGS.
