Now & Then

Here's another snap shot that was recently donated to Wellsville's Historical Society with very little information. It's an old black & white picture that only notes that it's the Nazarene Church. There was no date noted about when the picture was taken.

The old church is now the home of the Potter Player's Community Theatre located on 15th St. There's not much difference in the church itself. The wooden front steps were replace with concrete ones with iron rails. There was a side door added for the ramp and the air vent at the top was eliminated.

The house to the left is the same one. The front porch was changed, it's been sided with shutters now added. In the old picture you can see a piece of a car that makes us think the picture goes back to 1930s or 1940s.

The street sign has been replaced with a stop sign. Whenever this picture was taken it was in the days before the brick street was paved over. At any rate it qualified as a then & now subject.
