Description
Johnstown, Pennsylvania’s Tribune-Democrat reported in 2012 that the Election House in Stonycreek Township, PA (in the village of Shanksville) was “constructed through President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration. It dates to about 1936 and voting has been held there since 1940.”
The building is located north of Corner Stone Road at the municipal park, between Rhoads Creek and the Shanksville-Stonycreek School District.
