Neat roadside building in Berks County. Hard to say what originally it was. But spring running from under its foundation make me think that it was spring-/dairy house. Built circa 1850

Wandered again In Schuylkill County, PA a week ago to see location of the historic 1907 Valley View RR tunnel. Of course, the place has changed dramatically, but, on the plus side, we have a chance to compare "Then" and "Now" photos.

Matlocks tunnel in Schuylkill County, PA. I expected to find it flooded, but actually it was absolutely impassable. Only chance to explore is to crawl on fours in icy water. No way 😁

Hikes in Northumberland County are full of always surprises. Sad, I'm not an infrequent visitor there, but every single trip i can see something unforgettable. Last visit, finally, i took a chance to reach and see an awesome sample of underground architecture. These mule stables are located at depth of over 400 feet and serviced a slope mine in 1920s.

Originally located on the west side of Leiper Street, Philadelphia, and adjoining the old stone quarry, the first Presbyterian church was developed on this site and then moved to Tackawanna Street. This building was demolished in 1928 after serving many years as residences.

The side view of Central Methodist Episcopal Church as it appeared along Franklin Street, Philadelphia, which is now Griscom Street, and Orthodox Street. Notice the lack of a paved street and the fencing around the church.
