This is the only view of Trenton, LA that I have ever seen. It was taken in April, 1874 during a major flood. None of the buildings in this photo stand today. The area is now nothing but houses and is part of West Monroe.
8-25-2023 update: An April 29, 1949 Ouachita Citizen article identified the man on the walkway as Charlie Crain. A collection of photos of Trenton were given to the Citizen by a son of Franklin Garrett, but it seems this is the only one to survive!
