The purpose of this page is to show some perspective at various places in Schuylkill Haven. Below are pairs of photographs of places as they looked in the past and as they look now. |
On the left is the Reading Company freight station as it looked in September 1972. It is now the site of the municipal parking lot as seen on the right. |
