Thanks for posting this photo, Lori, and showing the way to a treasure trove of Avon Lake photos. We continue to upload photos from the Library's collection here so everyone can see them and find related photos.
We began collecting them to put in the book Images of America: Avon Lake, and we continue to get donations and loans from current and former residents.
Have a look , and contact me if you have photos that we don't.
