History of Freeland, Pa.
Businesses in the 1897 Hazleton city directory

FREELAND BUSINESS DIRECTORY, FROM 1897 BUSINESS DIRECTORY FOR HAZLETON, WEST HAZLETON, FREELAND AND MACADOO


This information was taken from a business directory for 1897, published in Hazleton. 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.
