Dwight Street/Veterans Park Vicinity - 1951

Looking west up Dwight Street near the intersection of Chestnut Street. The house on the left (does anyone know who's residence this was?) was demolished in the early 1960s to make way for the Flying "A" gas station.  West of the Post Office is the Urania Building that was the home of the P.O. Spa Restaurant for many years. This building was destroyed by fire several years ago and is currently being renovated. 

A look south up Chestnut Street from the corner of Hampden Street.

Mt.Tom Railroad - Turn Near Upper Station

Looking up the Mt.Tom Railroad near the turn to Upper Station early 1900s. This photo was taken just above where the present day B-17 Memorial is located.

The turn was the result of William Stiles Loomis' decision on saving some trees that were in the railroad's original path to the Station. (Seminole Bailey Archive)
