This was a small medical building with 2-3 doctors. Easy access to St Francis..my moms doctor was in this building.
Yes I remember the Dr sign on this
:) I used to walk down this street to get to a house on
Revere Avenue. I think its
St Francis Avenue:)
Yes, St Francis Ave runs from Revere Ave to Chambers St.
I used to live on Revere. Wondering where you went on Revere
Wherever it was on Revere...it involved a woman.
Stephen: My wife and I lived on Revere from 1977 to 1991.
Joe Z
Our family lived on Revere from 1944-1976
Stephen: We lived at 1101 Revere.
For Barb P. You may be wrong about Saxman on this one, Revere Ave. is in Villa Park not the South Trenton hunting grounds, well I might be wrong about Villa Park, maybe it was a girl named Marie, maybe it was Marie and Connie. Only Sax knows.
Joe Z.
My family lived at 871 Revere. After looking through all the older posts, I figured out where you lived. Close to you was residence of distributor for Charles Chips. When I attented Immaculate I often was up your way to drop off payments from ICS to Charles Chips distributor for snacks sold at lunchtime at school. Revere was boundary between Immaculate and St. Anthony's parish. Kids on other side of Revere usually went to St. Anthony's grade school/church. At least one of my siblings was attending Immaculate from September 1936 (oldest sibling) until June 1969 (youngest sibling). I graduated from ICS in 64. Family lived on Culberton Avenue before moving to Revere in summer 1944. Wetzel Field was frequent haunt for activities. My brother had Trenton Times newspaper route for Chambers Street between Hamilton and Liberty around 1960. I took it over for him when he moved on to bigger and better things. I believed this building on Chambers (corner of Forrest) was one of our customers.
Stephen: Thanks for the run down, nice to know all that information.
Stephen...my grandmom lived at 903 Quinton until she passed in 1977. Later, my parents moved in, until they both passed (mom in 2002). I was short-cutting down Quinton and saw the old house had been incorporated with the corner house and turned into a 5 unit apartment. This appears to be the story with Villa Park, investors turning houses into apartments.
Stephen and Barb: Villa Park sounds like that really changed to. That was such a nice place to live. Our house was on the corner of Revere and Morris Ave. In back of me lived Jack Pone, he was a piano teacher and quite a character. Tony Nitti lived across the street from him. I guess I'd have to see it to believe the changes.
Joe Z...my son used to play baseball with his friends at Villa Park. Would drop him off to play, there were lots of kids, moms, grandmoms and couples in the park...I'd walk back to get him a few hours later. I drive by there now, no grass, no tennis courts, broken equipment, fence torn down, trash everywhere. Just 20-30 gang bangers and the girlfriends making sure that nobody else can enjoy the park.
Barb: We lived 2 blocks down from Wetzel Field on the corner of Revere and Morris, my younger son would go and play baseball all day long, no problems. When we decided to move in 1991, you could tell the air changing, my son's bike was stolen. I'll always remember the good times.
Joe Z...we lived at 378 Hewitt. We put a lot of money into that little house. It was the first house either of us had ever lived in, both of us grew up in apartments. We knew it was time to get out when we kept getting peoples welfare checks in our mailbox. Gave them back to the mailman and the people would grab me when I got home from work and told me I should deliver it to them if I got it by mistake. Left in 1977. I drive by my old house periodically, it's been boarded up twice and now it looks like a flop house. Hard to look at.
