Historic Images

I went to the Carnegie Library today and spoke with several ladies there that knew a LOT! Very helpful. These are images of the site before... well, before a lot of things- in the first image above, the old municipal building, now the children's museum, stands with a Municipal Park in front of it. If we were to see this view today, we'd be standing on 26th street looking south right at the north entrance to the new library building, which was built over this park.

This image below is taken from 26th street, looking east and you can see the north edge of the park.

This is the OLD fire station, no longer around, and the bell tower houses the bell that is now in the plaza- that was the bell that would call the fireman to attention to get them movin'!

And this shows the park looking north from the 2nd story window of the municipal bldg, now the children's museum. it really looks like there are palms of some sort in the center planting beds. very very interesting photo.
