ON MAY 9, 2010 AT THE DAM, THE CLUBHOUSE, AND IN JOHNSTOWN
This is the library Andrew Carnegie had built in later 1889 for Johnstown. It's on the site of Morrell's destroyed one
and now serves as the Johnstown Flood Museum as they have a newer library.
Morrell's library not long before the flood.
Above 2 pictures are from the 1936 Johnstown flood. No dam breaking, but much waters in the streets.
These two pictures are the results of the 1977 flood.
Original clubhouse and...
What's left of it today.
Lincoln St. now...the street the Flynns lived on.
Central Park. The fountain has been replaced but not with swans.
Modern flood control on the Little Conemaugh.
Modern view from the Point of the stone bridge. It's the original, only covered in concrete. The railroad still goes over it.
Another view of the flood control by the stone bridge.
Grandview Cemetery, up close to where Hans lived, and its 777 graves for unknown victims of the 1889 flood.
Modern Johnstown in Cambria County. The many settlers from Wales thought it resembled their homeland and since
Cambria is Welsh for Wales, the name.
Welsh mining at the time.
Modern view of Johnstown looking up the Little Conemaugh, down which the flood came.
Almost the same view in 1891, two years after the flood, which shows well the rebuilding that had already taken place.
The row houses across the river on Prospect Hill are still there. The Carnegie Library is the large square structure almost
in the center of the picture.
The Cambria Iron Works in 1854.
Cambria Works in 1889.
Cambria Works in 1891.
Cambria Works in 1906.
Cambria Works in 1910.
Cambria Works in 2008.
Remnants of the dam today.
Winter view of dam remnants. The railroad runs right through it and the South Fork river, which was dammed to make the lake,
does, too.
