Architectural Elements of the Former J.G. Royal Building. . ,
The adjacent plaques are architectural cornice elements salvaged from the former building located at 314 South Centre Street, Pottsville, PA. This building site was originally a small cigar store in 1891 destroyed by fire in the late 1800's. Immediately rebuilt and enlarged with modern architectural features depicted in the photo above [Photo: 2008], it remained until 2009. This building supported many types of business in its lifespan but was primarily dedicated to a furniture store in the 1900's. Upon the closure of the former "Liebmans Furniture Store," the building was occupied by the Four Square Gospel Church for a limited amount of time from which the building fell into disrepair and became the site of the new "Union Station Intermodal Transportation Center.".
