if you lift the man hole is it in the street or did they pave over it so you can't open it

@force311999 it may have ben a hole to dump coal in for the furnace

@force311999 No, the coal shoots are in the back of the buildings this side of the square, this is the front.

@PrincetonFitness dos the brick look diferant - is it interlocked to the side walls or just look like it was built after can you look in the basement of the building it faces to see if there is the other end???????

@force311999 I think it is now paved over.

Cool! So glad to be able to add to the body of knowledge studied by our future! Maybe this will inspire others to research more and one day maybe give tours and put Princeton on the map!

Princeton Indiana was a pivotal Underground Railroad Station. David Stormont was a celebrated & effective abolitionist. His heroic narratives are told in countless history books, including the attempt to rescue Peter Gist's enslaved family. This fascinating story involved Seth Conklin (a slave owner impostor)& Philadelphian Wm. Still. You can read more on Stormont and Princeton's U.G.R.R activities at the site below.
