This
photograph was taken in 2014 and shows the house owned by the first Watch Tower
president, William H Conley. At the time it was unoccupied and the current
owner had gutted the interior. This meant it was not possible to check the size
of Conley’s parlor that was used for the annual Memorial celebrations in 1880
and 1881, as recorded in ZWT. If any readers have an early photograph of the
interior as it was in Conley’s day, it might give an indication of how many
attended the Memorial celebration in those early days.
The
property was renovated extensively and readers can see the current appearance
of the exterior by checking on Google Earth or similar. The original address
was 50 Fremont Street, Allegheny City, but it is now part of Brighton Place,
Pittsburgh.
