There are phone number connections listed in my copy of the Cumberland Valley RR Directory of 1906, so telephone is possible.

Most likely telephone by the appearance of the pole and insulators on side pins.

That picture almost looks like a front street for a western movie... almost

I wonder what that is in the lower right corner. Looks like a bridge over a water way. ?

Finally someone noticed........ People have been telling me for years that structures that look like "the west" are not right for the "the east" and I keep tel;ling them that they might want to actually look at a few pictures of what rural PA looked like 100 years ago.

I think you are correct and that there is in fact a bridge there across the entire street - a bit of infrastructure repair there to the right, :wink: :wink:

I don't think the town is much bigger today than when that picture was taken. Pop 248 in 2010

Separate bridge for roadway and walkway? Maybe the walkway was a later addition?
