This week’s Old Photo Friday theme is Business Openings – old businesses, that is!
The following photos were taken at the then new Franklin Township Plaza. At the time these were the original businesses setting up shop in the plaza!
Each photo is captioned with the year, business and a brief description.
Do you know what current businesses took their places?
Photos provided by the Ellwood City Historical Society.
