Parkesburg Yesterday

First Avenue looking west. The Parkesburg Arms is in the upper right corner of the picture
As Posted by Kerry Glenn on Facebook
Known as "The Flats," this row of buildings from 400 to 414 on First Avenue were built by Benjamin Dorsheimer (developer of the Parkesburg Arms building as well) in 1909 along the then new Lancaster & Eastern line of the Conestoga Traction Company trolley line.  
The two houses now behind them on Walnut Street were both moved there to make way for "The Flats."
Any guesses on what year was the picture taken?
