A RECORD OF SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OF PROGRESS ln 1867 the post office, named Robella, was established at lxfleade and Lincoln Avenue. James Sterret was named first postmaster. At one time a cable railway ran from Lincoln Avenue, near the Bellevue Theater, to the West Bellevue Station. Since there were no trolley lines, this railway was a great convenience to shoppers and commuters. Vvhen Bellevue was organized in 1887. the community was little more than a struggling country town. An observer, standing at the corner now occupied by a banlc, would have seen a dusty country road unpaved and bounded merely by a shallow ditch. Footpaths were broken here and there by fine new board- wallcs built by some progressive property owner. ln 1870, the frog pond which extended diagonally across Lincoln Avenue was drained, and here Bayne Hall, Bellevuels first auditorium, was built. Although the hall had a lair-sized stage and a seating capacity of three hundred, it was never very popular as the lirst lloor was occupied by a livery stable. The borough, however, was still rural. ln the spring-time the district was covered with the bloom of lruit trees: apple. cherry, plum, and pear: While on the hillsides dog-wood, wild crab apple, and laurel made the scene even more beautiful. The tirst ordinance passed prohibited the running at large ol ucows. goats, hogs, and other domestic anima1s,H-case pf Bellevue vs. One Sorrel Horse is typical of suits brought to court under this aw. The gradual introduction of modern improvements, however, changed the rural setting. The proposal to install oil lamps on the principal corners was defeated by thrifty councilmen. ln 1880, a number of public-spirited citizens offered to erect lamps it the borough would assume the cost of maintenance. This involved the services of a lamp lighter, and many residents remember his windy day struggles in lighting reluctant wiclcs with a shalcing torch. When the one room building proved too small, a new school was erected on Lincoln Avenue, the site of the present high school, though much closer to the street. The janitor summoned the children to school by ringing a 'huge bell, which could be heard for bloclcs. The ringing was repeated at recess but without so much vengeance. A citizen of Bellevue still has the bell in his possession. With the building ol the first high bridge. transportation was made easier between Bellevue and -Pittsburgh, although until 1917 a toll was charged. On July 50. 1900, the Bellevue Savings and Trust Company, then a frame building, opened its door lor business. Not until 1908 was the new banlc built on the present site, the corner of South Balph and Lincoln Avenues. The first niclcelodeon was opened in 1908. Those entering late received ticlcets which were good until the end of the next performance. At the conclusion of an hour's program, the lights would come on: ushers checlced ticlcets and diligently routed out youngsters who, scheming to secure a second hour's delight, hid under the seats. The death of Sandy, an old Scotchman, who was loved by the whole community, brought to the attention of the townspeople the community's need of a hospital. lvlr. L. K. Porter enlisted the aid of fifteen other men and in 1904, alter three years of hard worlc, the Suburban 'General Hospital was finally established. The Euillding, which is now lcnown as the Nurse's Home had a capacity of fourteen e s. Now Bellevue is a prosperous residential district. its hospital has many times the original capacity, with a large and competent staff of nurses and doctors. There are three grade schools and a large, well-equipped high school. It has many churches, a large Borough Hall, a public parlc and library, a well- regulatecl postottice, a banlc, a' thriving business section, two theaters, and a local Y.lV1.C.A. One of the most recent additions is an art museum, displaying the paintings of one of our local artists. The Lone Sentinel Elm in Balph Parlc. approximately three hundred and forty years old, is the only remaining linlc between the past and the present of the borough of Bellevue. Wow lalfze Page Nine
