Moorefield was 109 years old when this picture was taken from what is now the Cemetery Hill in 1886. The picture was taken by Mr. Will Brown who was originially a Moorefield boy. Mr. Brown got interested in photography, left Moorefield and located at Beaver, Pa., where he had a studio. He became well known and outstanding in his line and was at one time president of the Photographers Association. The brick building at the left in the picture is the then New Moorefield Grade School. The first movie show ever held in Moorefield was in this building around 1904. Most of the homes in this part of town have been built since this picture was made and many of those showing in the picture are gone. The Episcopal Church can be seen back of the School House. The homes of Judge Calhoun, S.P. Hawse, our old McWhorter Home, C.D. Powers and various other present day building are recognisable, as well as the old South Branch Hotel and the Old Methodist Church.
