Andy's Angles: It's Electric!

 

The news came down the other day.  A bank bought the Scranton Electric Building on Linden Street in downtown Scranton.  It's will become the bank's new corporate offices, and about 130 people will work here.

The project brings new life to Scranton, jobs, economic boost, etc...

And it also preserves an old building.  It was constructed in 1896, and it is best known for having the giant "Electric City" sign on the roof.

I attempted to get a little artsy in the photograph above.  I took the shot just before Christmas a couple of years ago, as you can tell by the decorations on Courthouse Square.  To dress is up a bit, I changed most of the photo to a black and white/vintage look, but I kept the color on the roof sign.

The renovations should be finished in a couple of years.
