Here is a postal card entitled "View of Twelfth Street Shops, Altoona, Pa." No Postmark. Visible in the center is the 12th Street Footbridge, built of cast iron during April of 1863 and lasting until December of 1965. The Logan House and the Passenger Station were located just beyond the right end of the Bridge. The structure at the far left ~ the one with the floor-to-ceiling windows ~ still exists, but is now owned by the Altoona Pipe & Steel Company. Alas, all the rest has been demolished. . . . |
