Then and Now: Answer Edition

We reveal the answer to last week's photo challenge.

Phoenixville residents sure know the borough. Last week's edition of Then and Now, our weekly photo quiz, got a typically tremendous response, but the quickest to the draw was Patch user Ike. This was Ike's second win in a row.

Below, courtesy of the fine folks over at the Historical Society of the Phoenixville Area, is the answer:

The F. B. Neiman Funeral home moved to 241 First Avenue early in the 20th century. In the early 1970s, Forge Theatre acquired the former Funeral Home and after some remodeling, it became their permanent home.The building was sold earlier this year and will become a private residence. The Forge Theatre is moving to a new location in Port Providence.
