Hi Wallie! I used to live on Strayer St about a two minute walk from that old branch. That branch was closed a long time ago along with another FNB location on Broad St(about 5 minutes from this location.) FNB consolidated two branches into one by renovating an older Wendy’s on Broad St. That newer FNB branch is still open and it sits in between Sheetz and Giant Eagle. Also, this closed FNB location you’re at was used by a construction company for about a year as temporary offices while they replaced sewer lines around town. My wife and I now live in Pittsburgh and we are big fans of your content! Hope I could help answer some history questions on this one 😃.
I used to live on that side of johnstown I used to go to that little Convenient store across from the gulf and get their beef sticks had some good memories here
Those pumps at the Gulf station are super old. Those were around when I was very young. You never see those anymore. I haven't seen them in years. It looked like they were operational too. Cool find.
Johnstown still has many remnants of its better days. Walk around downtown and you'll see some really interesting places, but it's sad that so many businesses have closed.
West end gulf is open for business. 5 days a week. Great place for auto repair. My family has been going there since the 60s. Unfortunately a lot of the old gas stations are gone. As well as many banks... banks usually close when the money runs out. Thanks for the video..and the owner of the gas station won't sell the big sign. He lights it up at night. It still works
You should have stopped at Wooly’s across the street for lunch. Good food. There some other great places to explore around the city. If you ever want to meet up I can show you a few. Good video. Thanks!
Hey Wallie , that Galf gas station here is open Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 4:00 pm and closed on the weekend so if you want to stop back again and support the place to help keep it running make sure it's during the week between 7am and 4pm , the pumps are off when the station is closed.
The PNC Bank near me closed and became a used car lot. That closed pretty quick and another used car lot moved in! PS That Gulf station was super cool!
The bank where I bank at, was a First National Bank for over a century, but FNB decided to close that branch. It didn't stay closed for long at it is at a corner thats the main corner of my town. The current bank is great! As I said, great location, friendly bank tellers, and they like to show off the building's history! (I love history!)
Hi Wallie. Any chance you can come to both Manahawkin and Barnegat NJ. Manahawkin has an abandoned KMart and McDonald's. The McDonalds if you were able to get in is probably really disgusting. In Barnegat there was a RiteAid that just closed and has a fresh label scar.
Great video. Next time you are in Parma, OH, check out the old FirstMerit Bank/Huntington Bank it is abandoned. It is located at 6420 York Rd, Parma Heights, OH 44130. FirstMerit was bought out by Huntington and Huntington decidedd to close this location.
Lmao Shock!!! Something's abandoned in Johnstown's West End. That's as common as death and taxes. Been a while since I been through West End. I stick mainly to Richland, Geistown, and Oakland.
The one on the upper half of Main is closed because we have a much larger one down the lower end of Main street across from the Transit Center and they chose to close the upper main location because they had a larger bank down the street , but even though the upper location is closed it's still monitored to keep people away from the building so burglaries don't occur.
Banks have a habit of merging. When two banking companies merge, there will be redundant locations and some will be closed, or sold to another banking company. Could be there's another 1st National branch nearby. The A/C on the little drive-through building? Could be it was originally manned with a part-time teller, creating the need for A/C. As business slowed down, full-service was no longer feasible.

Used to be Bank and Trust on Broad street when I lived there. 70's and 80's.

My brother and I were born in Johnstown back in the fifties. Great memories from there. This was really an awesome episode, thank you Wallie 👍
Loving the Johnstown videos! Hoping for more. Thanks.
Those pumps at the Gulf station are super old. Those were around when I was very young. You never see those anymore. I haven't seen them in years. It looked like they were operational too. Cool find.
I'm sure someone broke in there thinking they might find forgotten or hidden treasures & were sadly disappointed ! It's a cool building.
Hey you finally made it to my hometown of Johnstown. West End rep my old neighborhood! Great video bro.
I was up johnstown 14 years. I moved to winber 5 months
Definitely not the best part to be walking around now tho
Nice Work Wallie good finding some new Abandoned First National Bank for 15 Years old That's been a long time.
Johnstown still has many remnants of its better days. Walk around downtown and you'll see some really interesting places, but it's sad that so many businesses have closed.
Watching you from Brazil 🇧🇷 I’ll be there soon, I’m excited 😊
I worked at a full service gas station in Canada about 10 years ago and we had those pumps.
Love the old pumps. The bank building needs to be repurposed. Thanks wallie for the video
I believe Heffleys spring is a few miles down Rt 56 toward Seward .. It's been many years since I've been there .. A video idea for you.
I haven't seen old gas pumps with dails like that in 15-20 ?years. Great video.
Wow something you don’t see every day thanks for sharing this amazing video wallie.
Awesome Wall
That vintage Gulf gas station looks great though, I have a collection of Hot Wheels Gulf Racing cars (mostly premium ones) so this is a bonus for me 🙂
Good find wallie.
My cousin used to live in the white house beside the carwash I can remember when this place was open.
WallieB... Thank You Sir,
You fire Great video after video..
Love it, Stay safe and stay awesome!
A bunch of abandoned places In Johnstown...and where I live
West end gulf is open for business. 5 days a week. Great place for auto repair. My family has been going there since the 60s. Unfortunately a lot of the old gas stations are gone.

I'm glad they're still doing well with business. That would be neat to see the Gulf sign lit up at night!
used to be Szabo's. Who owns it now?
You should have stopped at Wooly’s across the street for lunch. Good food. There some other great places to explore around the city. If you ever want to meet up I can show you a few. Good video. Thanks!
Kudos to your RUclips, Wallie! 👍👍👍👍👍

That Gulf sign and station was Beautiful
That is pretty rare to find abandoned bank you, you don't find that not very often hopefully someone brings that building back to life
Good video! Interesting building! I wonder if it wasn't something else, before it became a bank!
The PNC Bank near me closed and became a used car lot. That closed pretty quick and another used car lot moved in!
PS That Gulf station was super cool!
Its so small holy moly I never see that
Miller's gas stations has the old gas pumps live in bonifay FL
The bank where I bank at, was a First National Bank for over a century, but FNB decided to close that branch. It didn't stay closed for long at it is at a corner thats the main corner of my town.
The current bank is great! As I said, great location, friendly bank tellers, and they like to show off the building's history! (I love history!)
I would not surprise me if this building would be a bank again! Like you said,it's in a very neighborhood, good building for banking!
Nice vid Wally 🎊 🎉😊

I'm shocked the prices can go that high on those old gas pumps

Hello Wallie
Don't see the old gulf hardly ever
There's alot of abandoned banks lately
👍
How do they know they were the first?
That was a cool video of the two..Am not relly a fan of old gas station please tho.
They actually closed alot of first national banks in Johannesburg not sure why.
Too many banks open not enough business at those banks
There’s another one abandoned downtown
The one on the upper half of Main is closed because we have a much larger one down the lower end of Main street across from the Transit Center and they chose to close the upper main location because they had a larger bank down the street , but even though the upper location is closed it's still monitored to keep people away from the building so burglaries don't occur.
Drone was probably used as a camera and just left behind
That Bank is broke because of the people who broke into it 😂
Johnstown is on a downward spiral 🌀. Soon to be in the toilet 🚽. Have a great day , just don’t come to this town .
1st and 5th like
