Monaca's waterworks looked like this in the 1890's. A WPA project in the depression of the 1930's enlarged and transformed the building into a "castle on the Rhine". The features of the original building can be discerned in the ground floor of the present waterworks.

Monaca's last station on the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad was originally built at Colona and moved "downtown" to 14th Street. Since its closing, it has been restored and serves as the Monaca-Center Masonic Lodge. The original station, pictured in Milestones Volume 3, No. 4, page 46, still stands on Sixth Street - away from the tracks and put to other uses.

The city hall, as it appeared in 1905, and the present day municipal building, dressed up for the Nation's Bicentennial. The mayor's office, at the right, was the town's library for many years.
