The Windland plate glass and lumber building sat on the southeast corner of Minerva and Walnut Street in East Liverpool, Ohio. Walnut was steep in this area so the northside of the building was built into the bank and the third floor was level with Minerva Street. in the 50's there was a roller skating rink where we spent many Friday and Saturdays. The local VFW was also housed in this building. On the bottom floor was Mackall Motors and he sold Chryslers and Plymouths. The showroom faced Walnut Street where the building was exposed. On the downhill side was Enterprise Coal Company and they had a trestle where a hopper car culd be spotted for unloading. I took a few liberties when I modeled this building but it does supply the memories.
The Winland building is to the left of this photo of the coal company taken in the late 1930's. In the Penn Central employee timetable I have it mentions no locomotives allowed on the coal trestle. I believe the service to this part of town ended in 1969.
