As you go down US 199 towards Uniontown you pass thru Connellsville and the road splits and in the section that splits sits the Morrel Volunteer Fire Dept.
It moved to its newest location several years ago at 1232 University Drive Dunbar Pa after the roof collapsed at its former location

Now most people remember it being a former Victory Ford Car Dealership
But if you take a close look at the building you can see it was something else
To the rear of the station sits part of a yellow brick structure
This yellow brick building is what is left of what was once a hotel I believe its name was The Starlite Hotel and it had a Notorious Past
Seems the mob ran high stakes card games in the hotel and several gamblers who won big jackpots never got to spend it having disappeared .
some day I hope to get more info on the hotel but google has produced little.
