I am currently working on a project to build a model the Farmers Co-op, later Agway, Eckert Bros. Music and now Cenury 21 Realtors along the East Penn / Temple Hill just north of Temple along the 5th Street Hiway. (now across from Wal-mart)

Anyone have any photos of it the early days, say anything 1974 or earlier.

Can't hurt asking..........

It is an impressive building. Of course it can be viewed from street view in Google Maps for 5370 Allentown Pike, Temple, PA. It will be fun to see what shows up here.

I, of course have plenty of current photos and photos since the track is gone, but hoping some historical photos might show up.

Interesting note, According to reports I have, the siding serving the Co-op was reffered to as "Manuare Siding"
