1923 AND 1925: SPLENDID PHOTO OF THE TRENTON STATION AND PLANS TO UPGRADE


Above is a beautiful photo of the "Clinton Street Station" as it appeared in 1925. The original was quite dark and the station structure on the left was completely lacking in detail, but thanks to Photo Shop a quick tweak and sharpening give an exquisite view of the newly reconstructed station. Below is a sketch of the new layout. I always thought it was a strange arrangement if one entered from Walnut an crossed over the tracks with a pedestrian walk way.

1947: SOUTH CLINTON AVENUE AT THE TRENTON TRAIN STATON

I find these two photos to be very interesting. Returning WWII GI's were undoubtedly very familiar with the landscape shown above. From the notorious Hotel Leonard to lower extracted photo showing the little shops that lined up as a mini mall back in 1947, I would bet that many old Trentonians will see familiar memory.
