INTERSECTION OF 8th & MESSANIE
An interesting fact about this intersection
All 3 photos were taken looking at the northeast corner of 8th & Messanie
Photos #1 and #2 were taken in 2 different & unknown eras
Some time after photo #2 was taken, Messanie Street was widened
Note the Coca Colas signs on the pet shop photo
It may have been a grocery store or a pharmacy previously
Photo #3 was taken after Messanie Street had been widened
The razing of the 2 buildings in photo #1 now put the Duplex on the corner
All structures are now gone as well as Beckley Auto Parts (513 South 8th)
As of late 2014, only a large vacant lot remains
American Electric is currently building a new building at this location in 2015
