Shoemakerville Hill; The Delaware County Advocate, July 1940
(View looking South on Providence Ave. toward Chester)

FIRST LEG OF REPAVED ROAD OPEN

With fervent if silent cheers Delaware County motorists who cross the Governor Printz bridge into Chester several times a day greeted the opening of the "Shoemakerville Hill" road recently. That narrow but innocent-looking hill was one of the nastiest driving hazards in the county till now. With the new width, removal of the high crown, a gentler grade, and a better-traction surface this entrance to Chester is now a credit to City Council. When the repaving job is completed on Providence Avenue, Route 320 will be a joy to travel.

--From The Delaware County Advocate - July 1940

Thanks to Harvey S. Martin
