"Just Then" Pictures of Spotswood
| These
photos are postcards
marked as being made in Germany.
The dates provided are the
postmarked date. The people to
whom they were addressed were
listed simply by name and town.
Most were addressed to "Oldbridge".
Spotswood's history must be
remembered, cherished and
preserved in more than our street
names. We must endeavor to protect
the historic homes that remain; so
many have been torn down.
This progress (?) exacts a
huge price; the loss of the
historical buildings that connect
us to our past. Our memorabilia,
personal and documented histories
need a permanent place to reside;
to be showcased, explored and
revered.
The Vliet Hotel, later known as the Spotswood Hotel, (pictured at the right) was located on Main Street, on the south-bound side, just before Manalapan Road. The house at the right, across the street is the Rectory of St. Peter's Church; changed but still standing. |
