Most of the postcards on this page were published in the early
20th century. Most of these were published and sold by C.W. Bensinger,
a stationary store owner in the Lancaster Avenue business block of Wayne.
The cards on this page highlight the churches of Wayne's past

| The Wayne Presbyterian Church, as taken from
the business block across Lancaster Ave. |
Although today there is no ivy growing up its
front, the Presbyterian Church and Chapel still stand. |
|
|
| Another view of the Presbyterian Church. Notice
how in both views there was a significant amount of ivy growing on the church's
facade. |
Lancaster Ave. may be a little less tree-lined,
but it looks much the same as it did when the postcard was published. |

| St. Mary's P.E. Church, Lancaster and Louella
Ave. |
You would hardly know by looking at then-and-now
pictures, but much of St. Mary's was destroyed by fire in 1969. It was rebuilt
to the exact original appearance |

| A postcard from the 1940's showing the side of
St. Mary's. This card is unusual because it ignores the church's most prominent
feature, its tower. |

| First Baptist Church on West Wayne Ave. and Conestoga
Rd. It was also called Radnor Baptist Church and Wayne Baptist Church. |
The site of the church is today occupied by businesses,
although the original schoolhouse and cemetery still remain. |
