One of the things I really enjoy seeing is new uses for old buildings. The Tamaqua Historical Society and Museum is in the old First National Bank building on Broad Street.
I really wanted to look around, but it was closed during my mid morning visit.
This is the way banks used to look-- multi stories, lots of stone, built for walk up business. Now, one story, plenty of parking, and it has to have a drive through lanes with ATM's. The convenience is great, but charm went out the window.
