Another oldie of Brockway, Pa. > (description from Rob Keith) > Main St, block NE of the bridge over Little Toby Creek from the late 1910s or early 1920s. From L to R is the old iron bridge (built in 1887), the Vetrone store, the brick Noble building that housed Paris Cleaners for a long time. In the short wooden building was the G. L. Gregg Barber Shop and Tapp's Restaurant (now Carnasali's Pizza). The next building was built after the Sept 8, 1909 fire and housed Norman P. Sloan's Restaurant, John W. Smith's Market, and Harvey Rittenhouse Department Store (later the Bona Vista Restaurant)

Brockway Borough purchased this Fire Engine in 1926 at a cost of $10,800. It was a six cylinder chain drive, with a 600 gallon rotary gear pump, as well as a 40 gallon soda and acid chemical tank, and a hose bed for 1200 feet of heavy duty hose. This additional piece of fire fighting equipment is shown here in front of what was then the Brockway Municipal Building on west side of 5th Ave. between Broad and Main Streets. It was the police HQ in 1986... and it is now Casbah Pizzeria.
