About Juniata Terrace, PA

Construction of the town started in 1920 and was completed by 1924 by the British Crown Rayon Company, a rayon manufacturer later known as American Viscose Corporation, for the workers of its Lewistown plant. The plant was opened in 1921 and was located across the Juniata River from Lewistown, on the same side as Juniata Terrace. It employed up to 5,000 workers and was closed in 1972 following flooding and damage from Tropical Storm Agnes. The town was constructed on a ridge overlooking the Juniata River to the east and the Lewistown Railroad Station to the north, about one and a half miles from downtown Lewistown. Two hundred fifty nearly identical brick townhouses were built along three streets, each about 500 yards long, which were crossed by four shorter streets.
