I just returned from my stroll down memory lane in downtown Pottstown. For any of you who haven't done that in some time, you really should get down there. The 100-200 blocks of High Street have some very beautiful renovations; from the city hall promenade to all of the upgrades to the facades on the local businesses. The architecture in the downtown tends to be forgotten by the "regulars" who may have come to overlook the beautiful work over the years--but people just coming through the downtown seem in awe of the "old styles".
As promised, I have retrieved photos of the five Historic Advertising Murals on the local businesses and will be posting them here in several parts.
1. The Hart Schaffner & Marx clothing advertisement is located at 145 High Street. A. Weitzenkorn's Sons, Inc. established their clothing business in 1865 and the business is still thriving in this location today. They have the distinction of being the second oldest family owned men's clothier in the nation and still sell this clothing brand.
