Notes
  • Significance: For many years under different managements, this building contained a fine restaurant and small hostelry in the shadow of Trenton's large downtown hotels. Under the management of the Hildebrechts, father and son, it was Trenton's leading restaurant at the close of the 19th century, and the beginning of the family's great local success in the restaurant, catering, and hotel management fields.

The three story commercial building was erected in 1881, reusing the foundations of an earlier building on the site. Although the first floor storefronts have suffered from insensitive alterations, the original eclectic ornamentation survives in the upper stories. This includes molded window lintels, pedimented on the second floor, a bracketed pressed metal cornice with corner finials, and an interior staircase with the incised motifs typical of Queen Anne and Eastlake design.
