Christmas Lights in Oberlin

The other day I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping in Oberlin and while I was there decided to snap a few pictures. Once again I apologize for the low light graininess. I did my best to filter and clean them up.

Gibson's is one of the oldest remaining stores.

Window at the Carlyle Shop.

STAR WARS! The Apollo is also another old building in Oberlin. It was built in 1913 and was recently acquired by Cleveland Cinemas to preserve it.

Main Street and College Street looking southwest.

Window at Bead Paradise, one of Sarah's favorite places in the city.

Old Pictures of Oberlin

Apollo Theater in 1958.

West College Street in 1955 during Christmas. You can see Ben Franklin's and Gibson's in this shot.

Gibson's in winter from an unknown year.

Corner of Main Street and College Street in 1907. Same view as the one pictured above.

Another view of the same intersection from 1880.

West College Street in 1951. Ben Franklin's is visible, but it appears that Gibson's didn't come until later. It is where the "Rexell Drugs" sign is.

Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas!
