DESCRIPTION

Located off Parkside Avenue in Trenton, N.J., Ellarslie is an

Italian-style mansion designed by architect John Notman, built in

1848 as the summer residence of Philadelphia lawyer Henry

McCall Sr.  Property was acquired by the City of Trenton in 1888

to form Cadwalader Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmstead.

In 1973 Ellarslie was designated a historic site by the National

Register. The Trenton City Museum is owned by the City of
