Description
English:

A flowering apple tree grows at the edge of a woodlot, in the background of a farm landscape with a walkway, scattered trees, springhouse, and open turf.

The flowering remnant orchard is visible in the background, beyond the spring house looking south from the Unger farm house. The overall landscape commemorates the Johnstown Flood of May 31, 1889. The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club developed Lake Conemaugh as a private resort for Pittsburgh’s elite in the 1880s. On a hillside meadow overlooking the dam and lakebed is the Lake View Farm, the former farmstead and rehabilitated home of Elias Unger, the club’s president at the time of the disaster. To the southeast of the spring house at the Unger Farm (Lake View Farm), a woodlot or orchard comprised of hawthorns and apples was established by 1939, but was reduced in size in the late 1980s by construction of the visitor parking lot. The woodlot/orchard on the hillside above the South Fork Dam is no longer actively managed or mowed and is now dominated by tall hawthorns and apples surrounded by thickets. The orchard post-dates the period of significance, but it is compatible with the historic setting.
