Moxham Historic District
Moxham Historic District, Historic residential district in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
The district encompasses 330 buildings across 70 acres, featuring Colonial Revival houses, churches, commercial structures, and former carriage houses from 1890 to 1930.
Following the Johnstown Flood of 1889, this residential area developed around the Johnston Steel Street Rail Company, with only five buildings predating the catastrophe.
The neighborhood includes ten churches of different denominations, including St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Second Presbyterian Church, and Grove Avenue Methodist Church.
The district sits on elevated ground east of Stoney Creek, making it less susceptible to flooding compared to other parts of Johnstown.
Unlike surrounding neighborhoods that housed only industrial workers, Moxham accommodated residents of various social classes through diverse housing styles.
