From LancasterHistory.org:

“…a time before the city leveled the 100 block of North Queen during urban renewal attempts in the ‘70s. This block used to be the entertainment center of the city with numerous theatres, bars/restaurants, and a few hotels. This view is looking south towards Penn Square, with the old Hotel Brunswick on your left and the Imperial Bar on your right.” [x]

From LancasterHistory.org: “Construction is done precariously (and very dangerously) under the lines of a trolley in this 1912 photo of downtown Lancaster City. The trolley approaches the open construction area of dirt and torn up brick on North Queen Street. (Note the shovel and pick.)” [x] Penn Square, Intersection of King & Queen Streets, Lancaster, PA
