This photo was taken by the late Carl Sorgen around 1950. The view is looking toward the south of the old Marion High School as it was then on West Main Street. Note the sparsity of homes in the background.

This two page photo spread was featured in the Marion Living Magazine in January 2008. I can never resist archiving aerial views because they capture so much activity in one shot.

Court and Copeland 1984
This view taken in 1984 shows the intersection of Copeland Street where it meets S. Court Street in center frame. At the bottom of the frame right to left are Fox’s Flowers, Fowlers Heating/Air, Shawnee Pawn shop, and then a car wash where Casey’s now sits in front of W. Prairie intersection. Across the street is the old lot where a Texaco station sat on the corner and next to it is 500 S. Court in center frame.
