    First State College School

    Caption: State College's first school (in white circle) stood on Heister Street just down from the cluster of less-than-elegant homes on "Pickle Hill." Sauers Town, the cluster of homes at the far left, is remembered in today's Sauer Street. The large building on the campus side of College Avenue was the home of Penn State's vice president. At the right of the picture is the "witch's hat" spire of the Reformed Church.

Twin Houses, now joined, can be seen on Allen Street, and (at right) the distinctive porch of the house on 122 W. Nittany, though now enclosed, is still identifiable.
