Old Buidlings In Kingston, PA

Here are some still viable buildings in Kingston, PA. First is 840 Market St. Built in the late 1800s, it was the home of the Wood family, who owned The Kingston Coal Company. It later became a Convent, and now functions as an office building. Originally, a roof was located near the Center of the side of the structure, allowing the owner and/or visitors shelter from the elements when disembarking from the carriages, and later cars. It also had a carriage house, which was recently demolished.

Next is the Great Hall of Wyoming Seminary, which originally housed The Kingston National Bank. Cultural pursuits are now featured in this grand edifice. There's nothing like an old time bank building to inspire confidence.

Then we see one of the portals of The Market Street which runs from Wilkes-Barre to Kingston, PA. Built in the 20s, it reflects the prosperity and optimism of the times.

Lastly we see The Wyoming Valley Montessori School, which is located across from the Wood house of the first picture. Originally, this was The Margaret Memorial Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1910.
