The town was built for the Monroe Coal Company, a subsidiary of the Coleman and Weaver Company, and developed between 1916 and 1944.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the district is a well-preserved, typical planned bituminous coal mining community whose company housing, uniform layout and institutions reflect coal patch planning and paternalism in Pennsylvania. It is distinctive for its brick-veneer \"fish lock tile\" sheathing over wood frame and for its detached houses on a hill above the mine, which reflected reform-era housing ideas. It also documents labor relations, including company anti-union measures and the 1922 strike.","narrative":"Revloc is a company coal town in Cambria Township, about two miles west of Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. The Monroe Coal Company, a subsidiary of the Coleman and Weaver Company, had the town built between 1916 and 1944, with most houses constructed by the Sauers and Moore Construction Company after the mine shaft was completed in 1917. The district contains about 225 resources, most of them wood-frame miners' houses arranged in rows on a grid around an oval park, many clad in brick-veneer \"tile\" sheathing. Detached houses on Highland Avenue were built for management, and the district also includes a stone company store dating to 1918, a Presbyterian church, a Catholic church, a school and the mine's brick and stone industrial buildings. The district is regarded as a well-preserved, typical planned bituminous coal patch. It also illustrates labor conditions, including company evictions and the 1922 strike by Revloc-area miners.","period_of_significance":"1916-1944","architect_builder":"S.H.
