> I recently received a photo album that belonged to my grandparents. I believe > most of the pictures were taken between 1890 and 1908, many of them in > Lebanon. A number of places are labeled, and since I've never lived in > Illinois, I wonder if anyone could tell me where they might be. They are: > > (1) Mascoutah Road Most likely what is now Illinois Route 4 - which taken South, runs into Mascoutah. At one point, Route 4 makes a turn - and there is an oil road (most likely a township road) that continues straight - which goes directly into Mascoutah. It could also be that oil road. > (2) Tower Grove Park Not sure. > (3) The Bryan House - where William Jennings Bryan's father lived while > attending McKendree House in Lebanon. > (4) Sulphur Springs A spring with a high sulphur content located in Horner Park - the city park - which is about 2.5 miles outside of town - to the north of Lebanon. > (5) Clionian Hall > (6) Platonian Hall Both are societies/fraternitives at McKendree. > (7) Manitou Springs railroad station Don't know that one. > (8) Eads Bridge One of the bridges from East. St. Louis into St. Louis > (9) Forest Park (The Music Pavilion) In St. Louis - still exists Jim Bridges Lebanon resident 1946-1966
