Historic Buildings or Parking Spaces….
May 14th, 2009
It amazes me that buildings like the Peoples Bank Building in Waynesburgh, PA are found by unique individuals and investors who can comprehend the treasure it holds. I was lucky enough to find this website with the help of Nessa who took photographs, posted them on Flickr and pointed me to http://peoplesbankwaynesburg.wordpress.com . The Photographs can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/statlerhotel/sets/72157617235958321 which are equally cool.
Isn’t the internet cool! I tell you, better than sliced bread. Way to go in restoring this classical piece of history! I hope they are able to keep as much of the elevator as possible! What’s crazy is that at one time they were considering razing the building for additional parking space. Thank goodness someone had some common sense!
Photograph Date: 1910.

Awsome Building Jason! We’d love to get more photos of the elevator. Way to go on restoring this building. Unbelievable that they were considering tearing it down for parking spaces!
Thanks for sharing your building with the world!
