Tonight here in Pennsylvania but I’m out Here anyways doing this there were Multiple deaths here at concrete city One involved a young boy that drowned in The community pool in the 1800’s I’ll Include some more history right now Concrete city and Nanticoke Pennsylvania Was built in 1911 by the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad company To house workers from the nearby Truesdale anthracite coal mine concrete City was hailed as the Garden City of The anthracite region initially it Looked like it was going to be a Beautiful place to live when you weren’t Working in the mines sadly only 40 of The over 1,700 workers at the coal mines Were given housing a concrete City and In order to secure one of the homes you Had to be a high level employee and you Were required to speak English the Houses were all built completely out of Concrete thus giving the settlement the Nickname concrete city although the Small town came equipped with the tennis Court blooming flowers electric Streetlights and even a public swimming Pool that faced problems immediately Since the proper plumbing and sewer System was never installed residents had To head out back to an unheated outhouse To use the restroom even in the Dead of winter and the use of concrete Itself actually played a part in the
City’s demise as the material absorbed Moisture and during winter months the Inside of the homes would actually Frost Over one former resident recalled that Her father’s shirts frozen an upstairs Closet during the wintertime and her Mother had to iron them out every Morning just so that he could put them On in addition in the summer months the Houses dripped with condensation and Mould growth inside of the houses became A huge problem and a health hazard since The homes were built with concrete it Was virtually impossible to add on to Them or to renovate their interiors Which caused problems for residents with Different family sizes and needs then There were the accidents I went through The Pennsylvania Register of coal mining Accidents from the time in which Concrete city was built and was shocked To discover that there were 289 Accidents at the nearby Trousdale mine In an eight year period a significant Number of which were fatal not only were These workers housed in sub quality Housing but everyday they were headed to Work in an environment where anything Could happen at any time that energy of Fear exhaustion and anger has left a Stain on concrete city in addition there Was a young boy who drowned in the Community pool in the center of town I Found this haunting photo of the pool
Before the owners of the community had It filled in and I couldn’t help but Notice that in this photo all of the Kids from concrete city were sitting There on the edge excited to go for a Swim I can’t help but make the Assumption that one of these kids in the Picture is the child who would go on to Drown right there in the pool only a Year so after this photo was taken Eventually in 1924 concrete City was Abandoned due to all of its problems and It was set for demolition however after The demolition company attempted to Destroy one of the houses with dynamite And the structure survived blast from Over 100 sticks of dynamite they decided That it was best to just abandon the Whole development and forget that it had Ever existed in the first place so there It has sat deep in the woods for almost A hundred years forgotten and Deteriorating over the years concrete City has taken on a reputation for being Haunted but when I asked our friends From the area if they wanted to go with Me out there at night they all said no Paetynn didn’t even want to come there Was just something dark about the place That seems to scare away potential Visitors looking back at it what I did Was stupid when I searched concrete city On YouTube I found videos where people Heard gunshots from the woods while they
