History |
The house was constructed c. 1880. It does not appear on the historic maps of 1852 or 1875, both showing a vacant lot in this location. The house first appears on the historic map of 1890. The house was the home of Bryan V. Moore, legal assistant to Mercer County Prosecutor Stanley E. Rutkowski and the first African American to serve on the Mercer County prosecuting staff. Moore served three terms on the Borough Board of Education and was active in community activities. He headed the John St.- Witherspoon St. Citizens Committee. He attended Princeton High School and graduated from Lincoln University in 1936, then taught in Princeton public schools before entering the Air Force in 1942. Upon his discharge, he started studying law at the Rutgers Law School, and also completed graduate work at Rutgers and Columbia University. |
