Inscription.

Looking west in this early twentieth century photo, West Main Street is much different today. Small shops lined both sides of the beautiful tree lined street. The home in the rear center of the photograph at the corner of Parkway and Main Street looks much the same today. Schuylkill Haven's oldest service station was located on the north side of this block established in 1921.
