By Dick Duez on January 22, 2023 from History Blog
This may look familiar to some, and to others, it may just look like an old building. This photo from 1987 shows the old Bridgeport City Complex. Although largely not seen, to the right is the city building and police department that was built in 1962. The fire hall is shown in main part of the of the picture, which looks like nothing you see today. And, the building is currenlty seeing a million-dollar plus renovation.
Although a lot of details are not known about this particular picture, it is from 1968 and shows Santa having some fun with children. The photo is from Buckhannon.
