The housing here is old. 41% of Johnstown's 305 homes were built before 1940, against 19.2% county-wide, and the median year built is 1955. Older farmhouses and village houses usually mean basements, attics and outbuildings, and the stairs and tight doorways that make a basement cleanout slower work.
