Description:
'Barging in for a summer concert is 'Point Counterpoint' -- concert hall of the American Wind Symphony Orchestra. During its 33 city tour of river communities, the floating concert hall is moved from port to port by towboat. One of the most unusual and resourcefull stages in the world, its amplifying system and modern lighting installations were designed with mobile practicality as well as theatrical showmanship in mind.'
'View of Morgantown taken from the west side, showing old brick house on the west side, Business district at the Wharf. Shows the old firehouse at the Decker's Creek end of Walnut Street, and the old Academy tower on the left. Note the smoke at the mill at the end of Wharf Street.'
'View of Morgantown from the west side; Walnut Street Wharf; Old Firehouse in the upper end of Walnut Street, from the picture of the Wool Market was most likely made; Tower of Monongalia Academy at the left of the Firehouse. The negative for this picture was made by John L. Johnston, probably in 1892 or soon after. This twenty percent enlargement was made by F.A. Molby from the old negative (1939).'
