  • Download Downtown Scranton Landmark Buildings and Historic
    Downtown Scranton Landmark Buildings and Historic Districts Introduction Historic preservation in Scranton arose from a grass-roots movement in the late 1970's in response to serious threats to the late nineteenth/early 20th century fabric of the city, including the most significant and defining landmarks. Initial responses were in protest of demolition, but the main emphasis was on education and the development of a sense of pride in Scranton's unique architectural expression of its industrial boomtown history. The Architectural Heritage Association (AHA), founded in 1978, worked with the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Association to create the Lackawanna Avenue Historic District, with the intent of seeing the then decaying commercial district retained and revived. In the 80s and 90s, redevelopment came to Scranton, but with the mixed blessings to the National Park Service, who intended to create the Steamtown Historic Site, and the Steamtown Mall developers, who intended to demolish most of Lackawanna Avenue. Local politicians and the press were strongly in favor of building the mall, even though it meant moving out active businesses, gaining control of the properties, and destroying historic structures. The architectural firm involved in the demolition of part of the Lackawanna Avenue Historic District to build the mall in 1992 failed to follow the process for altering nationally registered historic properties. That failure allowed the AHA to file a lawsuit. After several years, the court issued mitigation avenues: the 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue would not be demolished or included in the mall, the Oppenheim and Samters Buildings would be adaptively developed as office structures, the AHA would receive a cash settlement to assist in future preservation advocacy, and the City was to appoint a preservation specialist and establish, by ordinance, a Historical and Architectural Review Board (HARB).

  • The Lattimer Massacre and the Meaning of Citizenship
    52 Pennsylvania History The Lattimer Massacre and the Meaning of Citizenship Melvyn Dubofsky Binghamton University The other papers published here on the events that transpired in Lat- timer, Pennsylvania in the summer of 1897 describe that tragedy more fully and eloquently than I could ever imagine . What I can try to accomplish in this brief piece, however, is to suggest how the Lattimer Massacre fit into the larger story of labor and general United States his- tory in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Lattimer may have been exceptional in the number of lives lost and the intensity of the violent outburst by local sheriff's deputies. But in nearly all other aspects it fit neatly into the narrative of labor's coming of age in the industrial United States. Like the strikers at Homestead and in the Idaho Coeur d'Alenes in 1892; like the Pullman strikers of 1894; the lead miners of the Coeur d'Alenes again in 1899; the silver miners of Cripple Creek, Colorado in 1894 and again between 1903-1905; the Ludlow coal miners in 1914; and millions of industrial workers during and just after World War I; the coal miners of the Hazleton, Pennsylva- nia district were contesting the meaning of citizenship in the United States. Were immigrants and wage workers equal citizens in a demo- cratic republic, or were they a subaltern class subject to the whims and wills of their employers and more advantaged local citizens? The behavior of Lattimer's mostly immigrant coal miners during their protest marches in the summer of 1897 illustrated precisely how their actions signified the contested nature of citizenship.

  • The Knights of Labor in Britain and Ireland
    Knights Across the Atlantic The Knights of Labor in Britain and Ireland STUDIES IN labOUR HISTORY 7 Studies in Labour History ‘...a series which will undoubtedly become an important force in re-invigorating the study of Labour History.’ English Historical Review Studies in Labour History provides reassessments of broad themes along with more detailed studies arising from the latest research in the field of labour and working-class history, both in Britain and throughout the world. Most books are single-authored but there are also volumes of essays focussed on key themes and issues, usually emerging from major conferences organized by the British Society for the Study of Labour History. The series includes studies of labour organizations, including international ones, where there is a need for new research or modern reassessment. It is also its objective to extend the breadth of labour history’s gaze beyond conven- tionally organized workers, sometimes to workplace experiences in general, sometimes to industrial relations, but also to working-class lives beyond the immediate realm of work in households and communities.
