members got together to clean up a historical location known to
the community as "The Clara Barton House" but is more
properly known as the Ludwig House, where Clara Barton and the
Red Cross headquarters were during the 1889 Flood Relief effort.
This disaster proved to be one of the first major tests of the
Red Cross. |

|
| The Clara Barton House became the Gordon Mortuary which was the property's last official use. This was the first African American owned mortuary in Johnstown, owned and operated by the first female mortician in Johnstown. The property was donated to the Johnstown Area Heritage Association by the Gordon Family. | ||
 |
Members cleared out the contents of the property, taking out 6 truckloads of refuse including everything from mortician supplies to building materials. |  |
