VICTORY, PA (AKA MUSTARD, PA AKA DOUGLAS HOLLOW)
Victory, PA, an obscure and mysterious patch town (aka company town) in Elizabeth Township, was home to the Warden Mine. Here
is the mostly covered mine entry.
The tipple is gone, and only these structures remain from the Warden mine complex.
Some of the company built houses in Victory. There is another style of company housing a little up the creek. This is
obviously a 1920s-era patch with "model" patch housing, contrasting with the duplex patch housing built in Western PA between 1880-1910.
The back of the patch houses.
Most of the Western Pennsylvania patches have an "Honor Roll" for their war heros, and Victory is no different.
