Convention impressions Part Two

This is the inside of the entrance. There's a stairway leading to the door (below the light), but also the most impressive wheelchair ramp I've ever seen. The late (and disabled) Eagles member Franklin Delano Roosevelt would have been proud!

Perhaps less impressed would have been two of the greatest historic figures in the struggle for women's' rights, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony. Stanton was born here in Johnstown, and she spent the summer of 1884 in Mrs Brown's boarding house, above, where Susan B Anthony lived, while the two of them worked on a volume of their landmark History of Womens' Suffrage. It's directly across the street from Johnstown Aerie 1575. The Aerie itself, while 107 years old, was until 1992 a strictly men-only fraternal organization with no Auxiliary.
