LEDCO Office Building Construction on Site of old LHS - June 18, 2022

I visited Longview today meeting up with Paul Jones and Marc Welch at the Gregg County Historical Museum.  Marc and I went into the museum to cool off while waiting for Paul.  After Paul arrived I purchased the 1965 Lobo annual from him then I headed over and took pictures of the progress of the new LEDCO office building on the site of old Longview High School.  For my main Longview High School 1932 album click here.
