The Hiltonia Association of Trenton invites artists to exhibit work during the first Hiltonia House Tour, scheduled to be held on Saturday May 5th, 2012, from 12:00 noon through 5:00 pm (rain or shine) and feature over ten houses throughout Hiltonia.
Hiltonia, a residential community of 315 homes located approximately 3 miles from downtown Trenton in the western part of the City, was created in the early 1920’s by Samuel Hilton, a local developer. The original layout of Hiltonia features stately homes, wide, tree-lined avenues, large landscaped lots, with neighborhood boundaries of a canal, Cadwalader Park, and state-owned lands. Today, the beauty of Hiltonia is in the diversity of its housing stock—from fieldstone Tudors to brick Dutch colonials, Cotswold cottages, large split levels to mid-century modern ranches, as well as attached townhouses (semis), built first as workers’ cottages to provide the funding needed to jump start the rest of the development.
Artists interested in participating should contact the president of the Hiltonia Association, Elise Mannella, at Nella1454@gmail.com.
