Sibley’s Department Store closed in 1990, and the building is currently operating as Sibley Square and the Mercantile on Main Marketplace.

We’ve already seen the other side of this block that included the Deemer Building. Next door was a one story structure originally built as an A&P supermarket. Later became a roller rink in 1957. Next door was the beautiful YMCA building, constructed in 1896. The Y was located there until 1964. Next to the Y was the Seager Building, built in 1904. It housed a well known local hardware store known as Jere Woodring. Bordering this building, to the further left is PA state route 309. The YMCA and Seager buildings were both torn down in April 1969 by the redevelopment authority. Only the skate land building survives. I included additional photos just to show more views/details of the lost architecture.

The pier threw me off a little. I’m guessing they modified it and reused the materials.

The Hollenback Coal Exchange Building occupied the corner from 1889 until being demolished in 1937 due to flood damage and high maintenance costs. A gas station replaced it not long after. Now it’s a parking lot.
