This picture was taken from a plane between 1956 and 1958.
Shown is the Westgate school complex, Patterson Field, construction underway on the sewage treatment plant, City Hospital, Pennsylvania Railroad Horn Switch heading towards town, Berma's junk yard, the Trucking company, Fourth street extension.
As you look towards the top right of the picture you see the dirt Fourth street extension snake its way towards the Newell Bridge under which it passes. It is at that point that West Fourth Street ends and becomes Fourth Street extension. It is also at that point that West Fourth Street changed from a brick street to the dirt Fourth Street extension.
Directly under the Bridge you can see on the right hand side of the dirt road the roof of a single floor house. On the other side of the bridge you can see the roof of a house sticking out among the trees. It is the House of Oliver Burford, of the Burford Brothers Pottery built.

This picture shows the razing of the Sixth Street viaduct. The picture was probably taken in 1939 or 1940. You can see the concrete grandstand of Patterson Field in the background and Eighth street where it climbs before its turn towards Wellsville.
West End school is there but it is probably too hazy to see it clearly or make it out. It would be behind and above Patterson Field
