Image Hasson Pool, circa 1960's. Image A panoramic view of Oil City, most likely dating from the late 50's or 60's
Image The "old" high school.  Based on the car in the picture this probably dates from the 60's, but the scene looked exactly the same until it was torn down in 2000.
Image The Holiday Inn, also dating from the 1960's. Image Seneca St., sometime in the fifties.
Image The hospital, sometime in the 1960's I think. Image Another shot down Seneca St., taken in the early 1960's.
Image The Jungle Cruise at Conneaut lake. Image The Convention Hall, and a few of the rides at Conneaut Lake.
Image The Green Oaks Motel on U.S. Rt. 62, 8 miles North of Oil City, right by the intersection to go to Henry's Bend.  Apparently the building is still there, although from what I have been told it has not been used for a while. Image The Paratrooper ride at Conneaut Lake Park.
Image  A modern view of Oil City taken from "Lovers Leap" on Clark Summit. Image The Calypso ride at Conneaut Lake Park. This card refers to the park as "Pennsylvania's Perfect Playground"
