Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Scan of 35mm slide taken about 1950 of Allentown Center City Central Business District. This time-lapse photo, probably taken from an upper floor of the Kuhn and Shankweiler building on a Thursday night, thows the streetlights and neon of the shopping district during the Christmas season. Note the Christmas tree, formed by various colored lights in the PP&L building. That would become a symbol of the Christmas season in Allentown for decades. Also the ringing bell decoration on top of the city streetlights. These would be placed by the City of Allentown on the lights until 1970, when the entire Hamilton Street area would be renovated into the "Hamilton Mall" concept. The streetcar tracks on Hamilton would be removed in 1953. |
