1934: THE YARDVILLE NATIONAL BANK

Are you old enough to remember when the banks closed at 3 P.M.? I am. The above interesting photo of the legendary Yardville National Bank is shown in the photo taken during the Great Depression year of 1934. Like the friendly druggist, and the grocery store, The order changeth and are replaced with large national entities on all too many corners. The old independent banks have been closed and replaced with unfamiliar bank names, once again on countless corners throughout the area .

1938: LAKESIDE HEIGHTS GIRLS PRESENT A MINSTREL

The Lakeside Park Community House always fascinated me Those little bucolic areas of Lakeside Heights and Lakeside Park hold a special place in the history of Hamilton Township.  The little community center referred to in the article above provided an intimate and cordial gathering place for the citizens in that special community.

1934: REMEMBERING THE YARDVILLE NATIONAL BANK

It's was a familiar sight to see as we wended our way down South Broad Street in Yardville and passed the old Yardville National Bank. The building is still  there, but it now sports the name of one of the larger banks which have taken over the fast evaporating independent community bank. It is interesting to note that the old familiar building was moved to that site. Does any visitor know where it was moved from?
