Then and now photos of 19 South Brown Street in downtown Lewistown (2024 & ca 1968). We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel for our renovation project of this building, but we need your help!

Do you have any stories from 19 South Brown Street to share? Do you have any photos of this building or events that happened here...inside or out? We would love to hear from you so we can share with others.​
​​
Thank you to Becky Graninger from the Mifflin County Historical Society for sending us the two ca 1968 photos. She also helped us fill in some of the blanks for this property.

As consumer and business demands change, our community is constantly adapting, just as it has in the past. Today will never be the same as yesterday. There are many things from the past that I wish still existed, but that is not reality. So, we focus on what can be done today by getting involved. So many good things are happening in our community. 

I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who is doing their part to make our community a wonderful place to live!

Earlier this year, One-Stop Communications announced it was merging with Mifflin County Wireless and Telecentive to serve their customers better, which included relocating all their office and retail operations under one roof. One-Stop Communications is moving to 101 East Market Street in downtown Lewistown today. The location is currently the offices for Mifflin County Wireless, which can be found on the corner of East Market and North Brown Street.

Co-founder of One-Stop Communications, Michael Buffington, explains his enthusiasm for the move, “We are extremely excited to be moving our offices to Market Street. In recent years, our community has seen a renewal of activity in downtown Lewistown, and we want to be part of it. The merger of our companies provided the perfect opportunity to make this happen. I take great pride in knowing we are part of the new history being written for Lewistown as our businesses and community adapt to the ever-changing consumer and business demands that shape the landscape of businesses along Market Street.”

Buffington also noted how Market Street in downtown Lewistown is flourishing and finding vacant retail and office space is at a premium. Over the last few years, it has been commonplace to see construction crews in the heart of downtown Lewistown as many of the once-vacant buildings are being restored and transformed into new uses.

Cody Wian, the new President and CEO for One-Stop Communications has been working in downtown Lewistown for the last couple of years after Mifflin County Wireless relocated their offices to downtown Lewistown and stated, “We are excited to bring more jobs and service capability to our location in Downtown Lewistown. We pride ourselves on being an integral part of the community and this move only strengthens our position. We are very excited for the continued potential for our companies with the recent merger and look forward to serving the community for many years to come.”

One-Stop Communications will focus on expanding affordable high-speed internet to the area with local support and service from downtown Lewistown. Their teams have been working on wireless and fiber expansion projects that will be operational in 2024 that are the backbone of many of the other services that they support as a company, like residential and business phone service, satellite and streaming TV, managed IT services, cloud service, network security, security systems, security cameras, and more.
