Bedford Street

 

Bedford Street - before and after

Geistown-Windber Road - 1894

Very cool look at the old Geistown-Windber Road in 1894. I have no idea which section this is.

New Bypass - 1970's

Looking towards downtown Johnstown as seen from the Route 56 Bypass - 1970's.

Going for a Ride

Check out the car taking a spin on Iron Street - heading over to the Stone Bridge. What a cool shot - as the photographer is standing on what is now Route 56 - looking over to what is now Festival Park.

 Here's a better look at the area - Haws is just off on the left hand side of the Stone Bridge.

 

Trolley Time

I am in love with this shot of the intersection of Roosevelt Blvd and Washington Street with the Stone Bridge in the background.

 

Menoher Highway - 1920's

This is along Menoher looking towards Fender Lane and Coon Ridge Road. Click to enlarge.

Route 22 - Cambria County

Bulldozer working on a section of the newly constructed Route 22 in Cambria County

Main Street - Downtown Johnstown

Paving Main Street with brick. Wish this picture was in better shape - but judging from the looks of it - child labor and a lot of it must have been involved in these paving projects....

Expressway - 1985

Another great shot sent in by reader Sandra Berry taken most likely from Connor Towers where she was visiting family in 1985. 

Washington Street Bridge

 

Great view of the Washington Street Bridge - with Haws Refactory on the hillside.

 I blew it up a bit for a better view.

The West End of Johnstown

Love this shot of the West End of Johnstown looking towards the Conemaugh Gap. Just wish it was a bit clearer - I tried to enlarge it - but it came out even softer. To help you out - I marked off the Coopersdale Bridge on the right and the old Harris-Boyer Bakery on the left. Plus just a wonderful look at the mountains that I spend a great deal of time exploring.
