History and architectural features
[edit]This district encompasses ninety contributing buildings and one contributing structure that are located in the unincorporated village of Slickville. The Cambria Steel Company built this mining town between 1916 and 1923. The contributing resources include workers' and managers' housing, four utilitarian mine-related buildings, a church, a school, a pump house, and a company store. The company-built community was later acquired by Bethlehem Steel, which operated Slick Mine No. 91 after 1923.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
