Girls seated in front of Sayers Manor on the southeast corner of Wayne and Morris Streets in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania. Sayers Manor is named for the Lewis Wetzel Sayers Sr. family who lived there in the late 1800s - early 1900s. The property had formerly belonged to Alfred Brashear and Margaret Kerr (Bell) Miller, early leaders of Waynesburg College. The house no longer stands. A parking lot beside the Waynesburg University gymnasium now occupies the spot. Original, candid.
