North Brunswick is somewhat sort on distinctive architecture, but a walk along Georges Road will find a few buildings of interest to the those who like the gritty northeast of the USA. Once 19th and early 20th century small businesses have now often been converted into modern day ethnic vendors of one sort or another. The Subway shown below is an exception.

North Brunswick was recipient of a steel chunk of the World Trade Center building that collapsed on 911. There's are nice granite stone showing the victims names, a large grassy park suitable for ball games, and a seating area suitable for reflection about this horrible event.

Actually located just inside New Brunswick, on US 1 at the North Brunswick city limit, the National Music String Company building makes a strong architectural statement. I learned that the first harmonics made in the New World were manufactured here, and for years, this was the world's largest supplier of steel strings. The building is at risk for demolition due to decay, but has recently been resident to other businesses. The brick factory was designed by Ben C. DeKamp and built in 1897.
