Default All in the Family Pics

My grand pa and his brother started out in Latrobe, Pa. with a livery stable. The 1st,poor quality photo, shows this in 1908. Somewhere along the way they traded up for a Buick, Pontiac and White Truck dealership. The second pic is the Buick garage in 56'.

JohnI recognize the brick garage in your photo.The garage at one time was the 'central' fire station and in the rear the street dept garage. Worked there a few times privately and as a fireman.It was torn down many years ago. Lub shop erected in rear and a Dominos pizza in front. they are tearing them down now actually whole block for the comm. college addition. I can't recognize the 'buggy' garage. Where was that located? Bob

Hey Bob, I'm not sure where the buggy garage was located. I did notice that the "horse head" logo looks a little bit similar to the Rolling Rock Beer horse on the bottle! I will ask my cousin Floyd who is involved in the local historical society there. He may know. I learned through him about my granddad's death in an article he found @ the library that he was killed in a 33 Pontiac on Lincoln Hwy. in McKeesport. My grandma lived in an apartment above the Latrobe Motor Company building at that time, where the brick garage used to stand.
