Keystone Hotel ~

Thanks: Barbara Bloom

Barbara writes that she recently went through her Grandfather (C.C.) Boyer's old photograph album which is entirely about the construction of the old Wayne St. Viaduct (1914-1915). What she found interesting about this picture is that the building in the background has Keystone Hotel written on the side. This building must have been close by.
