A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)

I wish I could remember the history of this building. I think it burned in the 1968 riots and then was rebuilt and was always a real gem. Possibly the most beautiful building in the city and again one of the most expensive. I remember shopping for a new couch and kept badgering Mom about that place "up the hill" since we would "window shop" there sometimes.
I believe the front of the building and even the wrought iron sign were preserved by the State when it became the offices of the computer folks.
HI ,MAC...MY GOOD FRIEND, FRANK PAGLIARO'S FATHER WAS ONE OF THE MASONS WORKING ON THE STONE WORK OF THAT BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. THEY WERE LONG TIME RESIDENTS OF REVERE AVE. IN VILLA PARK. REGARDS.

Hi Ralph and Skip. This building was always referred to as "the castle" by me and the folks around me:)
