\nThis small stone building on North George Street at the Shady Lane intersection served as a trolley stop before that line was abandoned in the 1930.

(See below\u00a0comment with this post, where Dianne sharpens her description.) She submitted this photo to Your Photos<\/a>, where a full gallery of her York County scenes<\/a> are posted.
