Pittsburgher Inn

Submitted by Segue on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 4:02pm.
Tags:
The Pittsburgher Inn was a Service Station, Restaurant and Saloon in the little town of Harlansburg Pennsylvania. Located at Route's 19 and 108 about 40 miles north of Pittsburgh. The picture looks to be late 30s or early 40s. Other amenities included a picnic area and cabins for rent. Before I-79 was built, Route 19 was the major road between Pittsburgh and Erie and was heavily traveled. View full size.

Bears and monkeys

The Pittsburgher Inn attracted locals and tourists with bears, monkeys, and other animals kept in cages; it burned down in the late 1950s. (from the Arcadia book "Lawrence County.")

Dating by cars

Cars of this vintage could be seen on the road in goodly quantities through the late 1940s, however, the total absence of models later than about 1934 does indeed point to a date around then. Even more telling, though, is the garb of folks in the roadster. This is how people dressed in W.C. Fields films like You're Telling Me and It's a Gift rather than The Bank Dick.

Thirties

The newest car here is roughly the VERY early thirties, so I suspect the photo is older than you might think.

This was a happening kind of place! Busy, busy, busy--the money must have been rolling in.

Earlier than that.

None of those cars look to me to have been built after 1932 or 1933. It's hard to imagine that it was taken in the late 1930s, let alone the 40s.
