Dalado Photography

Shooting Today To Show Tomorrows History

Almost all of the photos that are displayed in this album were photographed by Thomas Studios, in Shamokin. The pictures showcase Coal Township and Shamokin at their prime; when coal was king and business soared in the area. I believe it's only right to show these photos to the public so those visiting my site get a better understanding of where our area's history has come from and where it could go. Special thanks to Myron Thomas, Paul Thomas, Ben Wojciechowski, Justin Zimmerman, Jim Jones, Billy Milbrand, Stephanie C. John and David Van Doren. And a heartfelt thanks to Dave Brown.

**Btw, I'm always on the hunt for old photos. If you would like to part ways with yours, please send an email to l_deklinski@yahoo.com

"How dear to my heart are the scenes of Old Shamokin."

The land was sold for $85,000 on March 25, 1977, which paved the way for the Coal Township Elderly Housing highrise. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 6, 1977.
