Lukasik Brothers Duryea Photos


This page is dedicated to the Lukasik brothers of Dupont, PA. Stephen and William Lukasik were instrumental in documenting over half a century of life in the Greater Pittston Area including our little town of Duryea. Little do people realize the impact these two photographers have had on preserving the history of this area. By photographing all kinds of events including fires, parades, train wrecks, church events, picnics, political events, clubs and organizations, class photos, senior grad photos, graduations, weddings, sporting events, disasters, along with historical events and local landmarks, the Lukasik photographs are a virtual history of Greater Pittston. In Duryea alone, they are responsible for many of the photos in the entire series of yearbooks the Duryea school system ever published. Much is owed to the Lukasik brothers and future generations will look back on these photographic treasures and appreciate how important they are to preserving all aspects of life in our communities.


Stephen was born on January 16, 1928 and passed away on Friday, September 18, 2009. William is 87 years old and currently residing in Dupont. William has graciously given us permission to post scans of some of the photos the Lukasik brothers have taken regarding Duryea over the years and we look forward to adding more images as they become available.
