This photo was taken in 1976 of the Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall on Hetrick Avenue in Beavertown. After it was no longer used as a church, it became a chiropractor’s office, and thereafter a video store. It has now been purchased by the Area Agency on Aging, and will be enlarged and changed into a very fine senior center for western Snyder County.

(Where in Beavertown was the first senior center? Answer next month.)
