CLYMER, PA


Clymer features the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation's trademark clay block patch houing.


There are also company houses of frame construction in the patch section of Clymer, PA, which grew into a sizeable borough over the years since the mines were opened around 1905. Not every house in Clymer is a company house, and there is a commercial district as well.


Another type of company housing at Clymer is closer to the site where the coal processing complex used to be. They may have been constructed at a different time than the other houses in this company town.

All that remains from the mine complex is the deteriorating machine shop, now functioning as the maintenance garage for the borough.
