The large white roof in the foreground to the right is the present Junior High School [North Street] and the church beside it to the left is the Presbyterian? Church on Jefferson Street.
Top L/R shows Connoquenessing Creek, Armco, Airco, old PULLMAN PARK, note no shopping center when photo taken. Main street shows Butler Co. Motor (Ford) Masonic Temple, Mellon Bank (Lafayette) Bldg, Courthouse, Montgomery Wards, Troutmans, Union Nat. Bank. Other landmarks St. Paul's RC Church, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Old Senior High, Old Junion High had been torn down (parking lot) and yes old athletic field lower left.
