The Auditorium,
Providence, Pa.

North Main Avenue at Oak Street

The building still holds its corner, three storeys on the same footprint. The cornice and its row of stone urns are gone, and the brick and terracotta have disappeared under stucco and metal panel. The shape survived. The surface did not.

Then	Postcard, “The Auditorium, Providence, Pa.” Publisher unknown; dated from the vehicles at the kerb. Lackawanna Historical Society.
Now	Google Street View, captured May 2026. Imagery © Google.
On the fit	The modern frame was shot closer and wider than the postcard, so this pair is corrected for perspective rather than simply cropped. The building’s four corners match; the re-clad surfaces between them do not.
