EAGLE TAVERN

“Built in 1765 by the owner of the mills established by Mahlon Stacy and William Trent, the building at what is now 431-433 South Broad Street was a residence before its use as a tavern throughout the 19th century. In connection with the nearby Eagle Race Track, it was frequented by horse owners and served as a meeting place for South Ward politicians and members of the Eagle Fire Company. It became a boarding house at the turn of the century, but was vacant from 1947 until its acquisition by the city in 1965.” – A Capital Place: The Story of Trenton
