Anna Mary Walters School once occupied this site, and later, the Media Drug store. Frank Lees, in his photo caption on the print founded in Photo Folder 1345, called this the Haldeman Building.

View from railroad tracks all the way up to the main building, no Parrish Hall. The oak tree allee along this walk were then newly planted.

Banner reads: Penna. Peace Society. This was possibly the Quaker version of a Memorial Day celebration.

Exact location uncertain.

Not sure what "library" means.

T. Dawson Copper was a "stationer and news agent" according to the 1897 Media Directory. His store at 114 W. State Street, and the building to the west, probably 116, were torn down to make room for an addition to the First National Bank of Media.

Originally called Cony Meade or Conny Meade, this 40-room mansion was later known as "the Castle." It burned in 1981.

Frank Lees caption: "This is the northwest corner of State and Olive Street about 1860. The building is Haldeman's department store. On the second floor are the first offices of the First National Bank of Media, now [in 1979] Provident National Bank). This building is still standing and is owned by Irvin Stern." Another note reads: "A new facade was later put on this building and the windows were altered." Copy of original photo; source not noted
