This is a photo from the 1970-71 Bridgeport High School Sports Banquet.

Here is a look at J.C. Penney, today going as JCPenney, when it was located on Main Street in downtown Clarksburg. This photo, taken by the late Bob Nichols, is from 1962.
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, 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.
