16 North Warren Street (Commercial Building), Trenton, Mercer County, NJ

Significance: Three generations of the Satterthwaite family operated a seed and agricultural implement store at this location from 1885-1963. Their presence in downtown Trenton affirmed the importance of farming in the fertile Delaware Valley countryside surrounding the capital city of the "Garden State". The Satterthwaite's business was the longest-lived in this mid-19th century commercial building, one of only a handful of survivors from before the Civil War in downtown Trenton. The rather plain upper floors of brick with with regular, rectilinear openings are strikingly contrasted by an intact mid-19th century storefront of wood and cast iron, which shows the influence of the Italianate style. It is one of the finest 19th century storefronts to survive in the city.
