Local History Photo 1: Market Street, Corning, N.Y. (Circa Early 1900s)

–

Local History Photo 2: Railroad Yard (c. Early 20th Century)

This is an interesting photo for several reasons; first, it shows and old railway station in Corning and second, is the location of the station – where Wegmans in Corning is now! Very cool!

–

Local History Photo 3: The Old Old Corning Hospital (c. Early 20th Century)

Our final photo for this week shows what we might call the “old, old” Corning Hospital. The building was located in the same area as the Corning Hospital that was located across Denison Parkway from the Corning City Hall and was eventually torn down and another building built to house the hospital in the same block; the newer building was recently torn down and replaced with an apartment complex; while Corning Hospital was re-located to an area outside the city.

Hi everyone, here, belatedly is our Local History & Newspaper post for last Friday, August 9, 2024.

With the state of emergency declared in Steuben County last Friday which kept me at home, and the library being closed again this past Monday due to multiple staff being ill – I am a bit behind in my blog postings – an unexpected day and half of closings will do that!

So here is the blog posting that should have been up last Friday, August 9.

And our weekly blog posting will be out tomorrow, Friday, August 16.
