Who would of come up with the money to make the brewery safe and updated? That is the problem. Everyone wants these places saved, but without at least one million dollars they couldn't of even begun to save the brewery. It was structurally unsafe since the 70's and no one came forward with the cash to save it and no one formed a group to save it. When people say why didn't "THEY" do this or that and why didn't "THEY" save it, who do they think "THEY" is? When we used to complain to our boss about why don't "THEY" do this or that in this town, he would say YOU are they, do something about it instead of nothing. I never forgot that and it really made me realize that WE are THEY. Sadly, it's all about money.
Somebody had enough money to buy them, tear them down, and rebuild something in their place.

It really is a shame that historical places are destroyed. There are too many future-minded, quick-thinking, money-hungry people in the world who can't see the historical significance in things. Does anyone realize that once it is gone, it cannot be brought back? I agree that there are places that are in bad shape. They need a facelift!! It's so much easier for people to just eliminate history and build for the future. I hate seeing history destroyed unnecessarily.
Case in point...renovate Yankee Stadium!!

The postcard link is great!! I have only made it through the first two pages, but I can't wait to see the rest!! I really enjoy looking at old photographs, especially of the DuBois area.
Thanks!!
Take a look and see if you know the year this picture was taken

Likely early 1950s. The car looks very similar to a 1950 Lincoln (although I don't think it is...but the body-style would be early 1950s), and the SR 219 sign is different from the photo of a PA sign in 1948 that I found. The car doesn't look "old" though, so my guess would be 1950-1955.
