History of Freeland, Pa.
Businesses in the 1895 Barry's city directory

These listings are taken from Barry's Directory of Hazleton, West Hazleton, and Freeland, together with a complete business directory and general informaton for the year 1895, published by Homer Barry in Wilmington, Delaware. Most of this information comes from the business section of the directory, and I've added businesses that didn't show up there but that were listed in the general directory.

Note that addresses are in the old scheme and don't match today's address numbering. In the old scheme, looking at Centre Street as an example, numbers began at the corner of Front and Centre Streets and went up as you went north, and went up again as you went south, so if an address was 24 Centre St., it would say N or S Centre to indicate whether it was 24 Centre St. above Front St. or 24 Centre St. below it.

Note: This is a long page, so there are "TOP OF PAGE" links here and there.
