[PRCo] PRCo Historic Pittsburgh

[Bob Rathke]

Attached is a photo of 1797 inbound that I took at the floral display on 8/21/65, two weeks before 10-West View streetcars were discontinued. Warner Schran, the man who planted the flowers, also put up that very tall flag pole. He lived to the right of the white car, and for years the flowers were his hillside beautification project.

Derrick, 
Not to mention mislabeled shots is the third photo in the collection. 
Credit is given to this Pflaum person. However, I remember several years 
ago J Holland and someone else on The List were having a debate as to which 
one of them took the photo.
