Henszey's bridge view 1

Henszey's bridge view 1

A look up Main Street from 1899 or 1900. The steeple of the brick Baptist Church at the top left is enclosed in scaffolding as it is being constructed. The Victorian home across the street was known as the Costenbader house, for the original family that resided there. It was lost to fire in the mid-1990s.

The Rev. James W. LeVan, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Slatington, Pa., provided Central Pennsylvania College with five black-and-white photographs showing Henszey's bridge in its original location in Slatington. He also supplied the notes that appear below the images.
