Great website from the PA Geological Survey. Has historic aerials photos from the 1930's right up to the 1970's. Simply enter a town (IE: Altoona) and a era and red dots will pop up on the map, clicking each one will show a photo, click that to get a full screen image.

Look at those two full circle roundhouses (one at the very top of the frame).
