Old PhotosHere are some old postcard pictures of places in and around our village.

In the 1950's... Notice the parking meters!
In the 40's?
Earlier than the 40's? Nice gas pumps!
Notice the hanging street light over the street?
The Fire Station today is the Village Offices and Police Station, and the bell is gone.
Looking in the other direction.
Looking west again.
Farther up Front St.
The Post Office was once on Front St.
The Loomis House is the brick building.
Notice the Empire Cafe "Lunch Wagon" that was open "Day & Night"
The cars picked up train passengers to take them to the hotels and lake.
The monument by the train station. Loomis House is in the bakground.
The Agway chimney when it was Borden's chimney.
Second St. once had a lot more trees than are there today.
Looking West with the Oquaga Garage in the distance.
The sign is for Socony Gasoline.
Looking East at the Oquaga Garage Co.
Notice the "modern" street light in the upper left corner.
Another "old style"street light hanging over the intersection.
And notice the boy climbing the telephone pole!
Elm St. WAS named for trees that grew there! Are there any left today?
Two major businesses on Church St.
Another view.
Old Pine Grove school. Where are the pines?
Coming into town this way sure looks different now!
What a difference from today's bridge.
View from downstream.
Looking upstream. See the newer "unCovered" bridge in the far background?
It was just downstream from Stilesville.
One of the rafts built to bring logs to Philadelphia in the spring.
The logs were "deposited" here in winter.
It's been said that the men walked home from Philadelphia after they were paid for the wood.
At least the church is still here.
