Wow, of all photos I've seen of mines in our area, this one seems to get right to the heart of what a hard life that was. Thanks for posting this and all the other photos!

I remember going in there some 45 years ago while hunting with my Father. Morelli's, correct? We got a loaf of bread and a pound of salami.

Down the street from the old "Tommy D's" towards Julio's. My memory of DuBois (not a resident, but came there once every few weeks with parents for shopping) from the fifties when I was a kid, seem like Raphie's from "A Christmas Story"!

Having attended the DuBois Campus in the early 70's, I was fortunate to have been through the mansion many, many times. Tis a real shame that it was not saved. I remember the justifications given at the time of the demolition, but most were hollow, with the need of preservation superceded by the want of the land for classrooms. Not to change the subject, but where exactly is the "Wigwam"?
