I have combined these two graphics from the "BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH" folder. At first I was confused as far as the vantage point. The square tower is no more, and the view is believed to be at Chestnut and Hamilton with the main entrance apparently being on Chestnut. Perhaps a more knowledgeable local Burg area visitor can confirm. The Centennial School was located on Whittaker Avenue.
