Description
Cabinet Card of the Downey House on the southwest corner of High and Washington Streets in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania. This view shows some of the storefronts and social activity that made the building so much more than just a hotel.
Notice that High Street has not yet been paved. That work was still over a decade away from taking place.
As of 2018, this corner is the location of the Fort Jackson Hotel Building, which was built after the devastating Downey House fire on 23 December 1925.
