Farm near Warren proves valuable for state hospital project
The Falconer farm near Warren, selected for the Western Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, proved more valuable than expected after purchase. It yields clay and gravel for brick, fine stone, and now nearby oil wells promise funds for the 1200 foot building. The Warren Street Railroad faces removal, but extension to North Warren could persuade the owner to sell at a discount. Novelties of the season at Fred Morek's Jewelry Store.
