A bit of Leesport history

Then & Now: The Leesport Hotel along Centre Ave / Pottsville Pike / route 61 as it appeared around the turn of the 20th century and today. Newspaper archives date it back to the 1870s, though it wouldn't be surprising if the structure is significantly older. Today it appears to be apartments.
