Editor’s note We’re continuing our tradition of taking a look back each Saturday at some of the important, interesting or even odd events as they were reported during the same week throughout the years, along with interesting advertising features from years gone by.
This week in 1924,
The News-Herald reported that the contracts for the construction of the paving of North and South High streets had been met. In a following edition of the paper, it was reported that Trinidad Sheet Asphalt was selected by the council as the type of paving to be used.
The mansion currently sits on the property of the Southeastern Correctional Complex along B.I.S. Road.
According to a classified ad that ran in the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, the SCC is looking to demolish the building at no cost.
Business Administrator Chuck Ressley said the SCC has no use for the building, which is currently in disarray. There was no reason to put money into that, Ressley said. We tried to get the historical society to take it over. Due to the expense of it, it would ve been several million dollars to get that building up to par, and then what do we use it for?
