They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so this week we're going to let our historical photo do the talking and spare you the lengthy history lesson.
Many thanks to Ogdensburg City School District Superintendent Kevin Kendall for letting us know about this photo. A big thank you also goes out to Ogdensburg Public Library Executive Director Penny Kerfien and her staff for digging into their vault to find it for us.
This photo depicts the Edgar A. Newell II Memorial Golden Dome while also showing remnants of the former United Helpers Home. Ironically, the Newell family was instrumental in the building of both Ogdensburg landmarks, as well as the creation of the United Helpers organization.
