Cadwalader Heights is a neighborhood of architectural diversity designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and was built by Trenton's industrial elite at the turn of the last century. Now it is home to performing and visual artists, educators, architects, entrepreneurs, business and science professionals.
The Cadwalader Heights house tour took place on Saturday, September 26th - thanks to all who came on the tour and thanks to those in the neighborhood who made the tour possible and such fun.
The proceeds from this year's house tour will be shared with HomeFront, a 501(c)(3) whose mission is to end local homelessness by serving families in crisis. Whether offering safe shelter to children and parents on an emergency or long-term basis, feeding them, or providing all of the intensive wraparound services necessary to aid families on the road to independence, HomeFront continues to pour 92% of its revenues into its programs -- making it a Navigator 4-star-rated charity year after year. We are proud to support them this year.
A History of Cadwalader Heights, written by architectural historian Glenn Modica, is a timeline of the people, planning, development, and building of Cadwalader Heights and is available for purchase online. Read an Excerpt.
