Warren, Pennsylvania: A View of and Views from the Soon-to-be Repaired Clark Street Parking Garage


Clark Street Garage slated to get $879,575 in repairs. (Warren Times-Observer, 6/24/2011)

Photo #1.  The former Pennsylvania Bank & Trust Building, Warren's tallest, at left; Northwest Savings Bank at center left, plus walkway to operations center in the former Levinson's Department Store; the Warren National Bank (former?  I can't keep up with all the name changes) at center; the Library Theater in center-right background.  See the van in the lower-right-hand corner?  Used to be a 4-story brick building situated here, with an A&P grocery store on the first floor.  I'm sure the Warren County Historical Society owns an Everett Borg photo of this lost building.  I purchased dozens of his reprints during the final years of his studio business on Pennsylvania Avenue West, just east of Market Street.

Photo #2:  Close-up view of Warren's tallest building.  Mr. Sayles, hearing aid salesman, Cutty Sark connoisseur, Buick Riviera owner -- never quite figured out his relationship with Yolanda -- had an office on the top floor back in the 1960s.

Photo #3:  Commercial building along Pennsylvania Avenue West; tower of First United Methodist Church at left; Warren Area Elementary Center at center-right background.

Photo #4:  Hickory Street Bridge crosses the Allegheny River.
