Each volume of the LOOKING BACK series since Volume Two has featured a special chapter entirely devoted to detailed captioned photos. In VOLUME FIVE, Chapter 19 (Peering Into The Past: Images of a Bygone Era) continues this tradition. Below is a sneak peek at one of the many captioned photos found in Chapter 19 of the new book, LOOKING BACK: The Best of Glenn Tunney - VOLUME FIVE. ................................................................................................................ Caption: This is a rare view of Bank Street, seen from the intersection of Bank and High streets. This picture is dated c. 1900 – 1909. The building visible on the right is now the home of the Brownsville aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. The empty lot between the corner and the present-day Eagles building was a fenced-in lawn when this photo was taken. Today, that lot is the site of the Crawford building (built in 1909) in which Antique Grill is located. The buildings on the left were removed in the 1960s when the Fayette County Redevelopment Authority razed all of the buildings in that block to construct a municipal parking lot.
