SUMMARY:Johnson Bronze History: Formation & growth
DESCRIPTION:The Family • The Industry\n\n\n\nWe invite and welcome all those who who worked at Johnson Bronze.

Johnson and family lived from 1893 to early 1903. \n\n\n\nVictorian house circa 1888. First owner M. Loy Hanna.\n\n\n\nGeorge W. Johnson\, one of New Castle’s “Princes” was an equal in statue to steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie and coke magnate Henry Clay Frick. According to his obituary\, despite his stature in the community\, Johnson was known as “a man who was easily approached and he was known by his fellow townsmen as “George.” \n\n\n\n In 1901\, he formed the American Car and Ship Hardware Manufacturing Co. which eventually expanded into Johnson Bronze with his sons William L. and Charles H. Johnson. His investments made New Castle the center of America’s limestone industry. \n\n\n\nGeorge W. Johnson Residence.
