Olcott Avenue Quiz

After philanthropist Frederic P. Olcott died in 1909, many placenames in Bernardsville, NJ, were renamed in his honor, including Olcott Square, the Olcott building, and Olcott Avenue.  Do you know what Olcott Avenue was called before it was renamed?

For the answer, go to the THSSH Archives.

Note, the archive document dates to 1914, when Bernardsville was still part of Bernards Township.  The borough gained independence in 1924.
