Carbondale Architecture

Carbondale, like so many all cities on the east coast, has a very long history. At one time, this small community was the center of coal production in northeastern PA. The fascinating architecture offers a glimpse of its former glory. I could show you lots of pictures of nifty buildings, but will instead entertain you with the timeless characters that continue to haunt the historic structures. Jim took the photos of the lions for Mary. I took a few shots of the really interesting faces.



     

          

Finch Hill

Naturally, we had to drive by Grandma and Grandpa's house on the way into Carbondale after the funeral. I managed to get a couple photos of the old house as well as Uncle Gerard's barn (photos below). I manged to get a glimpse of Grandpa's old barn in the tall grass, but I couldn't get a shot.
