Title
John W. Fulk Collection
Description
This collection of photographs of Union College and the community of College View dating from 1891 to the late 1950s was a gift from local College View resident John W. Fulk. Fulk acquired these items when the Hornung Hardware Store building was purchased by Jim and Lois Buckley. A bookstore serving the needs of Union College students had been located in the south end of this building. In the process of cleaning out the building these pictures were found in the former bookstore and offered to Fulk.
