*To Create A Larger View (make the photos appear bigger on your screen):

You can click on each photo for a larger view. And then click the back arrow on your web browser to go back to the previous screen.

Alternatively, you can press and hold down the CTRL key, on your keyboard, while tapping the + key on your keyboard to make the photos appear larger on your screen.

To Create A Smaller View (make the photos appear smaller on your screen – after you’ve made them appear larger):

 Press and hold the CTRL key on your keyboard and tap the – sign to make the photos appear smaller again.

And If You Use A Mouse – CTRL & Scroll:

If you use a mouse you can do what is called “control and scroll”, to make photos appear larger and then smaller on your screen. To do this –>press and hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and push the scroll wheel on your mouse away from you for a larger view. To reverse the larger view hold down the same CTRL key on your keyboard and pull the scroll wheel on your mouse towards you.

Library Local History/Creation Station Resources:
At the library you can scan your photos and slides to create digital family albums and slideshows; and even use one of the Circut machines, and other Creation Station equipment, to help you create a special paper family history album.

Also of note, we have the local paper, at times called the Corning Leader, Corning Journal or Corning Daily Journal, on microfilm from 1840 to the present — so you can visit the library and research local history and your family tree if you wish!

And…

And if you find any old photos or postcards of the Corning area that you don’t know what to do with – you can always donate them to the library!

Local History Photo 1: Decorated Building

The record for our first photo of the week indicates that the building was located on the corner of Pine and Market Streets and was decorated for a Fireman’s Convention. I’m guessing the fireman’s convention might have coincided with either Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day judging by the patriotic decorations. So, it seems a good time to share this photo as we remember those who have been lost in service to their country on this long Memorial Day weekend.

–

Local History Photo 2

Our second photo for this week shows a postcard of the old Corning Glass Works complex.

What a neat photo!

–

Local History Photo 3: East Second Street in Corning

Our final photo for this week features a view of an unpaved East Second Street in Corning looking east from Cedar Street.

I don’t know when the roads in the City of Corning were originally paved;and of course at the moment I don’t have access to all the local history books at the library!

I will, however, do some research when I can, and see if I can find out when the city streets were first paved as that would be an interesting fact to know!

Local History Photo 1: Airplanes

Our first photo for this week, is undated, and shows early air craft somewhere in our area.

–

Local History Photo 2

Our second photo for this week shows, which again is undated and for which we have no information in our records, shows one of those early air crafts after a crash.

–

Local History Photo 3: Man on Bike

And our final photo for this week, is date October 2, 1924, and is described only as “Festival.” It features, as you can see, a man riding one of those old fashioned bicycles with a humongous front tire. What a super cool photo! One wonders what type of a festival they were celebrating in Corning on October 2, 1924!

Local History Photo 1: Centerway Square

Our first photo for this week shows the clock tower and Centerway Square a long time ago! Our records don’t indicate when the photo was taken, but it is a cool one!

 

–

Local History Photo 2: Movie Theater

Our second photo for this week shows a local movie theater. The record card for this photo is blank so the theater may have been in the City of Corning or elsewhere – if you recognize where the photo was taken, please let us know!

–

Local History Photo 3: Steuben Factory

And our final photo for this week shows the old Steuben Glass factory. What a cool old building – it is too bad it was torn down.
