Old Westmont - 1893

Looking down at the intersection of Tioga Street and Bucknell Avenue in 1893. As you can see they are putting the finishing touch to the old Tioga Street Market.

Cupp Grocery

Cupp Grocery - Fairfield Avenue - Morrellville. Mr. Cupp, the founder, is third from the left. The others are unidentified. This picture was taken around 1905 or 1906. Mr. Cupp later built a chain of grocery stores in the area before they were taken over by the American Stores Co., with Mr. Cupp's son Paul, being an official of the local Acme headquarters. He rose in rank to become president of the whole Acme chain and later chairman of the board of directors. This building was destroyed by a fire around 1935. They rebuilt it on the same spot and the store was also known as Sky's Market in later years. The building is still there.

You Don't Say...

I'll wager few people can identify this scene. It was taken about 100 years ago in a certain section of Richland Township. 
The road in the center is now known as Eisenhower Boulevard. Route 56 now runs across the bottom of the old photo. On the right is where Grants (now Ollie's and Main Moon) are now located. On the left is where Giant Eagle (Gee Bee) and Get Go (Gee Bee Auto Center) are now.
Back of the trees at the top right is where UPJ now stands.
