Time Travel: A Once Vibrant Main Street Motel and a Clarksburg Police Swearing in Ceremony from 1984
By Dick Duez on April 11, 2021 from History Blog
If this looks familiar, it should. You can still see this structure on Main Street that for many years was home to The Roth Motel and guest house. If you have any memories of this former business, please leave a remark in the comment section below.
A trio of new Clarksburg officers, starting second from left - Russ Swiger, Marshall Goff, and Mark E. Waggamon Sr. - are sworn in back in the mid-1980s by Mildred A. Zink, far left. The last two pictured, are Police Chief Thomas Durrett and City Manager Patsy Trecost. Photo is courtesy of Mark Waggamon.
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection. Duez, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dick.do@citynet.net.
In the 60's my mothers brother,Pat Isabella and his wife Polly ran the motel and lived there
