New page

[[File:PhotoLogo.jpg|50px|right|link=Photo Gallery|Go to Photo Gallery]]This page is a series of images of buildings and locations in Knox comparing and old photo with a current image of the same scene; ideally taken from the exact same spot - but then how often is life ideal?

[[Image:Township Tavern.jpg|250px|thumb|right|<center>'''[[Township Hotel| Township Tavern]]'''<br>23 Oct. 2009, Eric Chamberlain</center>]]

I am thinking this would also be a great idea for a book!

'''Everyone is urged to contribute. Click here for "[[Instructions for posting Then and Now images|Instructions for posting Then and Now images]]"'''

There are now separate pages for each town. Here links to the other town pages:

=='''[[Township Hotel]]'''==
Earliest hotel in Township is said to have been in existence since about 1830. The old photo dates from 1871.

Harry and Delia (Barney) Palombo had a tavern there for a long time.

It was sold twice when the second owner put a large addition on the back of the building and remodeled the bar and moved it to the west side of the building. Shortly after that it was sold a third time to Paul Centi in 2006 and opened for business in 2007 and is now a family dinner destination. What a shame that when the front of this building was last remodeled there was no attempt to restore the historical look of the building. It would have made it worth visiting to see the outside instead of just what is inside.
