CW Weston and the Port Byron Telephone Co.

Here we have two versions of the same photo. The number on the calendar is the same, so likely this was taken on the same day. As the photo caption states, CW Weston was the founder of the PB Telephone Company.

View at Hayden's

It is hard to see, but the caption says "View at Hayden's", which would mean that this is now Rt 38 looking to the south, or towards Auburn. Hayden Road would be just behind us. The old highway is still there, although it now serves as a driveway. The power poles follow the line of the old trolley line, and that route was taken over for the new state highway. Looking off in the distance, you can see the bed of the trolley going up the hill. I don't have a date. This photo comes from the Port Byron Telephone Company collection.

Ouch- 1973

We are going to start featuring some photos given to the Society by the phone company. These were from the days of the Port Byron Telephone Co. and show many scenes around the town and village. Our first shows the scene of an accident at the corner of 31 and 38. What is nice is that although the photo is of the damaged light poles, we get to see some buildings that are now gone.
