Former Bischoff Undertaking Home

The image above is a postcard of West Broad Street. On the far left is the Bischoff Undertaking and the building next to the far right is the Historical Society Museum, also known as the First National Bank. The second image is a closer view of the entrance of the Bischoff Undertaking.

The currently vacant building at 115 West Broad St. was once home to Tamaqua’s oldest undertaking home, Bischoff Undertaking. The Bischoff family also owned a wood turning mill which still stands on present day Lafeyette St. where they made wooden coffins for their undertaking business as well as fine wood home furnishings.
