Editing Juniata Terrace, Pennsylvania (section)

===After American Viscose===
When American Viscose was sold in 1949, its new owner did not want to own and support housing for its workers. So, all homes were offered for sale to the renter. The last home was purchased in December, 1950. From that point, the streets and public lands of Juniata Terrace became the ward of Granville Township and the new Juniata Terrace Civic Association. Improvements were made through the years by the Civic Association, building a cable TV system in 1954, a second playground in circa 1959 and a new community building in 1961. It also erected its War Memorial honoring those residents who gave their lives for our freedom.

In 1967, Juniata Terrace became a borough independent of Granville Township, as its own governing entity with a Mayor and Borough Council. More improvements continued, such as street lighting and the paving of alleys. In 1972, when the Viscose closed after destruction by [[Hurricane Agnes]], many residents at Juniata Terrace lost their jobs. Unlike what has happened to industrial towns across America, Juniata Terrace did not die. Even after a devastating fire in 2014 affecting 25 homes, it quickly rebounded.

The Garden City design of Juniata Terrace was significant in creating an environment for the enjoyment and benefit of its residents. It supported the unified society of Juniata Terrace, allowing its residents to maintain its own middle-class social order without it being boxed in as a closed society. In turn, residents’ participation in churches, schools, recreation and other activities in Lewistown blended the two communities into a larger social entity.

Juniata Terrace has survived the Great Depression, major wars, its sale by American Viscose, the closing of American Viscose and a major fire.
