This is by far the best collection of old Kinzua Photographs I have ever seen. My greatest appreciation and thanks go out to Jerry Harris for providing me with access to these photographs that his Grandmother Blanche (Norton) Harris had the foresight to save and keep in such great condition. Blanche was the wife of Jerome Clayton Harris, brother of my Aunt Ella J. (Harris) Morrison, wife of William O.J. Morrison. Blanche Norton is also in the Kinzua School Class Photo with my Grandfather Cleon R. Morrison.
Clawson's Store on the right, then Alfonso Pace's Restaurant was the next building, very close to Clawson's Store. So close that when Pace's caught fire, Clawson's burned also. (about 1940-41) The Kinzua Inn was built on the Clawson lot. The photo is looking East down Gunning Street toward Kinzua Creek. The building on the left is the Kinzua House Hotel. It burned in 1933 or 34, the same year the road was paved through Kinzua. Harry Reynolds later built the Ace Diner on the Hotel lot.
