Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1889 was a river town packed into the valley where the Stonycreek and Conemaugh rivers meet, with its streets climbing the steep slopes on either side. Residents who looked down on the town from the hills saw a dense grid of brick and frame houses, church steeples of several denominations, and the long sheds and stacks of the iron and steel works along the waterfront. Much of daily life revolved around the shift whistles, and the mills' payrolls supported stores, boarding houses, and small shops on the main commercial streets. People in the 1880s would have known the town as a hard-working place that grew from its industry, a community of many nationalities sharing a narrow valley where space for building was always scarce.
