Before the coal mine complex was demolished and reclaimed in 2004, Marianna, PA was one of the most outstanding historical coal mining sites in Pennsylvania, and probably the entire United States. The structures and equipment that existed at Marianna dated from the first decade of the 20th Century until the late 1980's. It was one of the most intact coal company built towns that I have ever seen, and the yellow brick buildings in it are exclusive to Marianna. The coal mine and coke ovens, along with the community, were built by the Pittsburg (sic) & Buffalo Company between 1903 and 1907. There were three mines into the Pittsburgh vein at Marianna, designated Rachel (at the main plant), Agnes, and Blanche. Marianna was such a showplace of industrial technology that even President Teddy Roosevelt, along with a group of European coal mining officials, came to tour it. The housing for the workers and their families constitued what was known as a "model" patch town, which entailed an effort to improve the standard of living of coal miners. Around this time a model of the town, which included drawings and photographs, was part of an exhibtion regarding civil reforms at Carnegie Art Galleries in Pittsburgh. A 1911 issue of Colliery Engineer said, "Not only is the plant constructed along the latest scientific lines but the town of Marianna must take rank as one of the finest coal miners' settlements in this country. The Jones family, chief owners of the company, are noted for their somewhat altruistic tendencies, having spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide many conveniences and comforts and even luxuries for their employees. Actual uplift work is being done at this mine." The new Marianna mines attracted Russian, Italian, and Slovakian immgrants coming to America and looking for a job and a home. Coal Age, speaking with the typical arrogance for immigrants that they repeatedly displayed at that time, stated, "At present the improvements must appear uncomfortable and undesireable to many of them, largely Pan-Slavs, who have been used to snug quarters in a dirty hut covered by a thatched roof and who measure against the stately discomforts of a good house and a bathroom, the one clean pleasure he can understand, at the end of every two weeks, a fat roll of bills."
