Lou Rugani’s photo shows the extent to which the Parthenon building interfered with long-discussed plans to widen Hohman Avenue south of the railroad tracks. In 1950-51 the Parthenon received a severe, $100,000 facelift – the front fifteen feet of the building was cleaved off after which an entirely new façade was erected.
