Rare 1909 ad for the Wonderland Theatre that opened in 1907 and closed about 1910. The Wonderland was a combination moving picture and vaudeville house. Prof Leroy, who claimed to be a student of Houdini and billed himself as Houdini the Second, appeared in the Wonderland in 1910. Assisted by Madame LeRoy, he escaped from a Siberian Torture Crib in full view of the audience, in addition to freeing himself from a series of chains, ropes and straight jackets. All that for a ticket price of 5c.

The James F. Shelly residence, demolished decades ago, stood at the intersection of State and Chestnut Streets. Shelly purchased the residence in 1899. In 1919, he was listed as a “timber inspector.” Shelly may not have been a millionaire, but he sure lived in one heck of a house. This view is from the bottom of the Chestnut Street incline, which was deemed too steep for travel and was vacated by the city. Shelly died in 1933; the residence was eventually replaced by this ranch style house.
