Shamokin Stories collection
Places that have been demolished, moved, or substantially altered, preserved through sourced records.
The Eagle Silk Mill study documents the Shamokin mill as part of the Eagle company's regional textile enterprise. The 1913 Sanborn map set preserves dated evidence of Shamokin's industrial built environment during the mill era. Conflicting mill-size figures remain outside the public account until property or company records reconcile them.
A dated Library of Congress postcard establishes that Edgewood Park was developed by 1905 without proving an opening date. The 1913 Sanborn map set documents Edgewood Park after the 1905 postcard view.
The Victoria Theatre was built in 1917 and opened in January 1918. The National Park Service recorded the Victoria Theatre's removal from the National Register on May 18, 2004.
