The White Tower in Mckeesport was on 5th Ave on the 56, 68 and 99 line. It  
would be close to Center St the entrance into National Tube. Probably 3 or 
4  blocks West of the hospital.

BTW Never one in Dravosburg or any I can remember on the 56 line, on the  
way to PGH

McKeesport is a good possibility inasmuch as the telephone exchange  on the
PNB sign (375) was used in two locations. Dravosburg/McKeesport was  the
second place 375 was used. What does/did the area where  the
56-McKeesport/2nd Av come off the private right of way onto Richland  Avenue
going toward the Mansfield Bridge look like?
