Former City Clerk Judy Lawson, left is talking to the late Bridgeport Mayor Bud Hess in this photo from 1987. Also shown is long-time ciyt employee Norma Duez who recently passed.

Although the date of this photo is unknown, it's of the twin houses just prior to Salem west of Bridgeport off of U.S. Route 50. This photo is prior to Route 50 going to four lanes from Bridgeport throughout the rest of Harrison County. There was some concern the homes would be demolished due to the roadway, but they still stand today.
