To And from Cleveland in 3,223 Miles--Day 11 From Erie to Oneonta

After a hiatus for a few months, I am back to finish the trip.  There were 3 counties left in Western Pennsylvania plus a couple more stops in New York State to get better pictures.  My first stop was in Erie, Pennsylvania, where we had spent the night.  After my wife boarded the train, I spent an hour or so roaming the downtown area. By the time I left, I had only two more counties to visit in Western Pennsylvania, which would leave only Philadelphia County remaining to complete the state's 67 counties.

There was plenty to see on the Art Deco front, and since it was still early in the morning, there was little traffic.  The Erie County Courthouse has had an addition--a perfect match of the original.  Both the 1853 Greek Revival building, and the 1930 Greek Revival addition are connected, and one would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

The 1853 Erie County Courthouse and its flank, which was built from 1927-1930.

 The old Post Office and the Railroad Station, which front one of the many parks in the city were a couple of the architectural highlights, along with the New Deal Era Federal Building, Warner Theatre, and a couple of high rises downtown.    I hope to add to the blog at a later time, but I will prioritize courthouses until I am caught up.  Meanwhile, if you are a Flickr member, you can search me by name, or if not try "devtmefl" for a sampling.

Warren in Warren County was the next county on the list, but the decrepit Waterford Covered Bridge was in between.  Hopefully, the rehabilitation work has commenced on that old bridge, which is fenced off for the time being.
