Anthracite country, and the houses it built

Schuylkill County is anthracite country. Pottsville, the county seat, is where D.G. Yuengling and Son has brewed since 1829, making it the oldest operating brewing company in the United States, and the borough towns around it grew up around the mines. The housing tells the story: narrow rowhomes with steep stairs, built for young families a century ago and lived in now by people in their eighties. Stairs and bathrooms are where independence usually gets lost first here, and personal care support is what keeps someone in the home they have owned for fifty years.
