| Dinkler homestead, 1922. This photo was contributed in 2008 by Dan Dinkler, who wrote, “I was born in Beckley—as was my father and his family (going back to 1890). Most of them once lived on Harper Road and my great grandfather owned farm acreage that included Karl Street and lots along Crescent Road. From 1954 to 1996, my former childhood house was located on the same spot as CVS Pharmacy, which was then moved to another location in town. The original address was 1825 Harper Road. The view seen in this photo was located at the curve of Karl Street looking towards Crescent and Harper Roads. CVS Pharmacy is located on this spot today but was once the farm of Juliana and Charles Dinkler, my great grandparents.” |
