You could even get s drink of water and a haircut in 1916.  But all that
nice landscaping was not so nice when they ripped it up for bussing.

SHJct looked very nice then. Sidewalks and landscaping where asphalt was
placed in later years to make the area "motor bus friendly."

Fred, you're ignoring the early destination sign boxes on the low 4200s and

I'd trust the Pittsburgh city photographer for date of June 28, 1916 of 4304
at S. Hills Jct. before I would trust some PRC clerk filling out the route
cards.

Hope this link works, but looks awfully long.
