Cool Jeff Schroeder / DJ Orion

I think DJ belongs here! If you haven't seen his photography yet, it's worth looking at.

Thumbs up

Hey DJ, I love the site, and especially the first picture on your Williamsport page. That building housed our offices for 109 years. You can still read the faded Phillips on the metal face. May I have a copy of that photo?

Keep up the beautiful work!

^^Thanks a lot!! Yeah I noticed that they took all that cladding down and are redoing the front. And yeah, you can have a copy of it. I'd like to keep my copyright notice on the photo, though, if that's ok with you. Did you want an actual print?

I'm not sure what they are doing to that building, but do know a new dance studio is opening next week. That building has undergone several face changes, but is still beautiful, and adds character to the downtown.

I sent you, DJ, a PM on the photo, but want to say that your copyright is very safe with me. My interest is purely archival....So many memories of that place, and I am still a member of one of the lodges housed there.

So I haven't really updated my website for a while. I am thinking of making a new one but in the meantime here is an HDR photo of the rear of Old City Hall:

That is a beautiful shot Jeff. The folks who bought that building are really committed to it's preservation. Have you ever been inside?

Thanks guys!! I finally figured out how to do HDR and I am going crazy now haha. And no, Trey, I haven't been inside. Is it like the new city hall? I have been inside that building. When was the building purchased?

It has been in the last year, I believe. The holding company is City Hall Ventures, and the building manager is Chris Ertel. She is a great lady, and would probably love to give you a tour. Tell her I sent you.
