Photo 77-HLE-32 from 1982

Comments

This farm was once owned by Fred B. Gernerd, a former District Attorney for Lehigh County from 1908-1912. He was a congressman and was also the attorney for Granville Holben (see the link below). He owned much of the land along Hamilton Blvd. and is responsible for planting the large sycamore trees that still line the road to this day. This farm was demolished to build an intersection into the new Air Products head quarters. Nothing of this farm remains today.
