The front portion looks like it was heavily remodelled, but the rear portion has the same roof and windows as the one in the picture. Had no idea that building was that old. Just always thought it was weird how the front didn't match the backShawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875665195081241423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-30167143462742017512012-02-15T08:59:22.165-05:002012-02-15T08:59:22.165-05:00I think you're right, Denis. Looking at it and...I think you're right, Denis. Looking at it and other pics I could find of the old bridge, it does look like the same wingwall. If the picture is on the Newport Road (or now, Old Capitol Trail) side, then the house in the background would be fronting on Greenbank Road. Not a real good look, but I looked back at some old pics on the LRCV Blog. The house next to the McCullen's Store did have a central chimney. Could be that, or a house or two down.<br /><br />Maybe what looks like a wrought iron fence next to the stone wall is a guard -- bridging the gap between the stone wall and the iron truss of the bridge, which did angle away.Scott Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-88389888219954283892012-02-14T21:23:34.803-05:002012-02-14T21:23:34.803-05:00Way to go Scott...It totally slipped my mind about...Way to go Scott...It totally slipped my mind about this. Really cool photo. Whoever did renovate the Hollingsworth Building really did mess it up. I remember at the very top of the front wall it had the Hollingsworth name etched in the concrete. I remember seeing them covering it up on the way home from work one day. Sad.<br /><br />Your "Beetle Cop" picture. I just sent you a photo from about the same exact spot the photo you posted was taken. I was told it was in Marshallton on the Newport Road side of the Hersey Bridge. I do not know who is in the photo but looks like they are having fun. Let me know if you agree with the location.Denisnoreply@blogger.com
