Located four blocks to the west, Cement City was built in 1916-1917 as housing for employees at American Steel and Wire's Donora plant. It was a community of 100 units in 80 Prairie-style buildings, noted for the innovative use of poured-in-place concrete construction. One of several concrete communities built in the United States during this era, Cement City survived to house successive generations of families and is a National Register Historic District.
