About this site

As part of Wilkes University's First Year Foundations program, John Hepp's 2005 class studied the history of downtown. One of the class assignments was to photograph "historic relics" -- reminders of the past that still survive -- in downtown. This site consists of photographs drawn from each group's five favorites. We hope you enjoy these views of downtown Wilkes-Barre. All of these photographs were taken with inexpensive disposable cameras purchased by Wilkes for the students at the Ritz Camera Center located in the Boscov's department store in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
