Posted on May 14, 2020December 3, 2021 by John G. WalterSt. Mary School & Church – Painesville, Ohio A scene from the late 1920’s along N. State St. in Painesville, Ohio. The view today from the same spot shows the ‘new’ church, which was built in 1955. My class group photos – 1955-62 For other comparison views of downtown Painesville, click here.
