It is an area consisting of the environs of South Broad Street to the bluffs overlooking Spring Lake and the marshes of John A. Roebling Park. It is a primarily residential neighborhood. The Township's first fire company was organized there and the Township's original police station was located there for many years. Postings from Deutzville and Fairview Park are included.

This is a picture of Rowan School at Chambers and Rennie Streets on the first day of classes in September 1958. The students are gathering at the girls entrance.
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT YOU ARE POSTING MORE AND MORE MATERIAL ON BROAD STREET PARK! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. YOUR POSTS ARE FASCINATING AND DO A LOT TO ADD TO THE HERITAGE OF ONE OF HAMILTON'S LEGENDARY NEIGHBORHOODS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Perhaps I may be one of the students in this photo, I attended Rowan School from 1956 through the end of the school year in 1958. I then went to Willey School.
