Cement City Historic District
Cement City Historic District, Historic district in Donora, United States.
The Cement City Historic District contains 80 concrete residences built in a Prairie School architectural style along Chestnut and Walnut Streets.
In 1916, the American Steel and Wire Company commissioned the construction of these concrete houses using the Lambie Concrete House Corporation's patented method.
The residential development represents the early 20th-century industrial community planning, with houses specifically designed for factory workers and their families.
The district extends across 8.8 acres between Modisette Avenue and Bertha Avenue, featuring original cement structures that remain private residences.
The construction project required 10,000 barrels of Portland cement to complete the residential complex, establishing a distinct architectural collection in Pennsylvania.
