Broadway NW From Railroad Tracks after the fire of 1880

Picture courtesy of the Milton Historical Society

On the left are the (white) Gresh House hotel and the old Broadway school. The stone foundation on the right was the Barr & Wertman Carriage Works. The structure in the foreground was probably the Kirkpatrick academy building, based on a description in Bell's History of Northumberland County 1891. It was the first factory building on the site. After the fire the Catholic Church was rebuilt on this site.
