On a Crisp and Clear Day


Crisp and clear is how I would describe this shot looking down at the intersection of Johns and Washington Streets.
Blowing the picture up - you can see that this is pre-1936 from the lack of walls and all the growth in the river channel.

Hulburt House - Pre 1889


You are looking at pre-Flood 1889 Johnstown. This is the Hulburt (Hurlburt) Hotel that at one time was an old Ice House. This hotel was destroyed by the Flood. In many old accounts - quite a few survivor stories came from people that were staying at the hotel at the time.

K Street - Morrellville

My grandfather John Cacicia (1892 - 1968) in our backyard on K Street around 1920 or so. Members of my family have always enjoyed dressing up in costumes and doing little skits along with showing our creative side. John in this picture is dressed up as Pancho Villa in the wilds of our backyard in Morrellville.

Downtown Johnstown

Vintage Repeat - See how many stores you can spot in the picture.
