Neighborhoods were a vital part of the village of Glen Carbon. People from various parts of the world who spoke the same language tended to settle near one another.

The photograph of the village may have been taken by Mr. Anton Daenzer, Mine Superintendent, as he surveyed the view of the valley below his home on the hill. The neighborhood was so serene and quiet after a fresh blanket of snow, perhaps it was an early Sunday morning before the hustle and bustle of living began.
