Suppes Ice



Suppes Ice House - downtown Johnstown.

Tree City


The one thing that sticks out of this shot of Downtown Johnstown - all the trees.

Trolley Time


Main Street
Tried to see what movie is playing. All I can make out is Lawrence (Olivier) and Toney Curtis which would make it 'Spartacus' and also make it 1960.

Clinton Street


Clinton Street with the of Main looking toward Washington Street.
The building on the left was the old Wertz Drug Store - one of the few buildings to survive the flood - only to have a date with the wrecking in the 1970's.
On the right - the home of Henderson's furniture store and funeral parlor. Later the Title Trust bank was built there and the Fisher Building next to it on Main Street. Along the side of Clinton - the building next to Henderson's was occupied by the Geis store. Where a small building (just beyond the awning) was located, the Gately-Fitzgerald furniture store was built.
And further down the street - St. John's Church was under construction about the time this photo was taken. 

Trolley Time


Intersection of Main and Franklin

Brownstown Hill


A nice rare look at Brownstown Hill - 1889 Flood.
