Pennsylvania’s post-industrial, public steps could use some love and attention Jason Nark, The Philadelphia Inquirer © ALEJANDRO A. ALVAREZ/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS A historic set of stairs in Shamokin is trying to be saved and restored by local groups and historians. From left are Kathy Vetovich, with Shamokin Area Business for Economic Revitalization, and Allison Williams, project coordinator. SHAMOKIN, Pa. Stairways were always rising and falling in Pennsylvania’s industrial towns. Long, wooden steps carried workers down to the mills in Manayunk and businesses in Jim Thorpe, then back up to their homes in the hilly streets at night. Over the centuries, wood was replaced by stone, then patched with concrete, then barely maintained at all in some towns. Today, many stairways, like the majestic, stone “99 Steps” in this Northumberland County coal town, are closed and crumbling.
