One of the Aerial views from the mid-1920s

Here is a picture of the Main Building from the air. It was taken after 1923 if you note the bell on the roof. This image is also from a Theologue since I have not been able to locate the original photos and I have no idea who might have been taking aerial photos in the 1920s. From talking to a local photographer, as well as the Broome County Historian, photographers in planes would travel around the area and sell photos taken from planes since it was such a new field. The person that took the photo might have been from New York City or Philadelphia. This is one of the shots from the group of aerial views that was in many Theologues. Maybe in the future the photos or their negatives will turn up.

Aerial views of PBTS between 1923-1924 (Where are they now?)


Here is a set of photos of PBTS from the air. An airplane flew over the campus in the mid-1920 (1923-1924 would be my estimate, maybe 1925). The photos were put in many Theologues in the late 1920s and early 1930s. This scan is from the 1934 Theologue. Now I love these photos, but I have no idea where the original photos are. I would love to have the original photos back to the school so I can get better scans of them. The pictures show the Main Building, King Hall, the Inner Circle, the fountain, and every other detail of the old campus of PBTS. If you know where these photos are or who might have taken them (from the Binghamton area) please email me. I would love to have much better scans than the ones from Theologues.
