SE side of Kelley Road, East Pittston, with E Pittston Rd in background.
This photo likely 1960s per the shape of the parked car .
Working from the barn structure in the right foreground. This was the East Pittston Community Club. It likely began life as a typical farm barn and was repurposed for community use - when(?) as before my time). Included a food preparation area against a side wall in the back, without running water, an open interior area with a finished floor and a basketball backboard and net on the far wall. On occasion the local boys had pickup basketball games.
The community center building no longer there.
The next set of buildings was the home of George and Melba Crocker. Mrs. Crocker a longtime teacher at the one room Village School (grades 6, 7 & 8). The dark building that is set back was referred to as the blacksmith shop(?) In the 50's I remember someone was building a larger than average wooden boat there - who(? ) - don't recall). The light-colored area to the right of the shop was a garden. George Crocker sold appliances out of the white building. A large house connected by an ell. It hidden by the trees.
The white house on the far left (partially visible) was owned and occupied by Andy Moulton and his family. Previously owned by Henry Fowles, it unpainted then. Andy Moulton was a school bus driver.
I left East Pittston for university in 1961 and afterward visited occasionally until 1969 when my parents sold their property (known as Moody House).
