Re: (erielack) Scranton Yard Map 1892

[Pat_McKnight_@_nps.gov]

This is a trick question.  I cannot find my office in the map since the
building I am in was not constructed until 1910.  None of the buildings
shown in this drawing in the yard are here today.  Some of the walls and
foundations may have been incorporated into current structures, but the
oldest freestanding structure in the yard in the Mine Stores Building
(built 1900).

to make the past alive so that it can explain us and make a future

Nice overall map of the DL&W yard in Scranton, revised in 1902.  From 2
photos, cropping isn't perfect but close :)

Pat McKnight, can you find your office?
