Hi Listers, Federal Hill was the name given in old Erie to that hill, the top of which, we now know as 26th and Peach Sts. This area has some sentimental attachment to me as on it my parents, their parents and grandparents were born, lived, worshipped and lived out their days. In Gaylene Kerr Banister's transcription of Bates History of Erie, I find, in the section devoted to Millcreek township, the following: "The town hall is a good brick building on Federal Hill, within the city limits." Of the four corners of that intersection, if indeed, the town hall was on one of the four corners, at least two structures survive. The building on the NE corner is presently, I believe, part of a motel for transient workers and the SE corner has the building, part of which is now a karate studio and at one time had the Mary Carter paint store. The SW corner in the time when Bates wrote his history had the Fire House. Only the NW corner has a 20th century structure: the old Brown-Jones pharmacy. The Bates History points out that the town hall was used as the polling place for east township residents . The more likely location of the hall in that case would be the karate building, which, in the early 20th century was known as Kaltenborn(sp?) Hall . I'm wondering if any of you Listers has any info or insight on the history of that area. Joe
