Edenborn, Fayette County, PA
I don't know the history behind the naming of the place, but:
from http://www.coalcampusa.com/westpa/klondike/edenborn/edenborn.htmhttp://www.coalcampusa.com/westpa/klondike/edenborn/edenborn.htm --
Edenborn was a "model" patch town owned by H.C. Frick Coke Co., replete with large houses of varying shapes and sidewalks, as pictured here. [see website]
These duplexes, more common to Western PA company towns, may have been built at a later date, when demand for coal and coke peaked and additional workers were needed.
The superintendent's house still sits on a hill in Edenborn, overlooking the rest of the community.
Except for a piece of ruins here and there, all of the Edenborn coal and coke works have been destroyed. This refuse pile remains, with the patch in the background. There is also a reprocessing operation of the refuse pile at Edenborn.
and, from Google Maps --
Edenborn is a community or populated place located in Fayette County at latitude 39.884 and longitude -79.882 . The elevation is 1,168 feet. Edenborn appears on the Carmichaels U.S. Geological Survey Map, as well as Google Maps.
