Since 1982, the Waynesburg Historic District has been recognized as part of the National Register of Historic Sites. Waynesburg’s historic buildings are valuable cultural and economic assets that deserve to be rehabilitated, not torn down.Mary Beth Pastoriushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17705403416083320136noreply@blogger.comBlogger48125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553584062143369567.post-5466876738772607652020-10-25T11:03:00.000-07:002020-10-25T11:03:37.796-07:00TAKING A BREAK<p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSEAMi8NJDslAAaQNLwTqaprpYphGd54OzE-pzN550-HwTrUmvazgMZyDzgXSq396FRqCSO_VVSDIAh3UyK40gRjFMaP7-C1_Not0yRnybdp53A7VfdB1nwGl1oWBqsW5u3RFTI9dfh7O/s601/High+Street+looking+west.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="601" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSEAMi8NJDslAAaQNLwTqaprpYphGd54OzE-pzN550-HwTrUmvazgMZyDzgXSq396FRqCSO_VVSDIAh3UyK40gRjFMaP7-C1_Not0yRnybdp53A7VfdB1nwGl1oWBqsW5u3RFTI9dfh7O/w400-h266/High+Street+looking+west.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Early 20th century postcard view of High Street in downtown Waynesburg.

<i> </i><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">In 1870, harness maker John T. Hook built one of the first
mixed-use buildings in Waynesburg at the corner of High and Morgan Streets. It
had four storerooms with separate entrances plus a vestibule leading to residences
above. Earlier, shops, taverns and inns had been located in homes with
customers and family members sharing a single door. </span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">By 1800, an Irish immigrant named Robert Milligan was building
this first brick courthouse of hand-fired bricks made from local clay. Variously
described as a brick molder, mason, contractor and master-builder, he
introduced a preference for brick architecture that continues today. Milligan’s courthouse survived until 1850 when the current
courthouse was built.</span></span></span></div>

at $40, 22x10 feet in size. It's unknown when it was replaced.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Morris whose husband James had just died at age 28. Her brother Ephraim Sayers lived
next door and would soon become the town’s largest property owner. Located at High
and Richhill Streets, the 24x20 feet unfinished house was assessed at $60. Completed
by the next owner, it was described in 1847 as “hewn log, weather-boarded”. What
is today the Hook Law office replaced it in the 1890s. </span></span></span><br />

who was building a house at the SW corner of High and Spring Streets across the alley from Milligan. His
unfinished house was assessed at $80. George was a “joiner” making furniture
and house fittings such as doors, windows and stairs, surely a profession in
demand in the growing town. Sadly, Phoebe died soon after giving birth to a son,
James Remley, in November 1800. George moved to Ohio in 1812.</span></span></span> </span></span></span></div>

half of “Whitehill Place” at the corner with Cumberland Street, shown above. In 1798 it was 24x20
feet, valued at $80. Two years later Jenkinson lost his investment to
Philadelphia merchants to whom he owed $2400, a princely sum. In 1808, local attorney Robert Whitehill purchased the property. </span></span></span></div>

Sarah Adamson and thereafter it became “the old Adamson property”. By 1886 it was the residence of Father Herman, the priest of St. Ann’s Roman
Catholic Church.</span></span></span></div>

The U. S.
Direct Tax of 1798 provides interesting clues to the early inhabitants of
Waynesburg and their dwellings. Popularly known as “the Window Tax”, it assessed
size, building material and panes of glass. This was the first federal tax on
citizens, but according to the newly adopted Constitution it had to be apportioned,
not per capita, but by state. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Pursuant to
this, each Pennsylvania township created an alphabetical census of its inhabitants
and the real property they owned on October 1, 1798. Newly surveyed, Waynesburg
was a part of Franklin Township with two lists: (1) dwellings valued over $100 and
(2) all real property including dwellings valued at $100 or less.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These were simply “Land,” with no information
about windows or building material.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
When what later
officially became Waynesburg Borough in 1816 was laid out in a grid of uniform
streets and alleys in 1796, 201 town lots were created, each 10,800 square feet.
Although quickly sold, many were purchased by land speculators who did not construct
houses.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
According to
the Direct Tax Survey of 1798, there were 19 occupied dwellings in “Waynesburgh”,
as it was described, with another eight under construction. The dwellings ranged
from a tiny cabin of 160 square feet to a large tavern of 2,400 square feet,
and values ranged from $24 to $600.</div>

The data in
these surveys remind us that houses were much smaller in 1798 with the fireplace
and hearth taking a disproportionate amount of space. Dark and cramped, these
dwellings afforded little or no privacy.<br />

The first
series of columns on the Direct Tax ($100 and under), lists three “cabins” and
three “houses” with both occupant and owner named. The smallest “cabin” was owned
and lived in by tanner Andrew Dodd. Located at the NW corner of Franklin and
Findley Alley, it was valued at $30 including a tan yard and stable. The other five dwellings
were rented.</div>

Two cabins
of 240 square feet were listed as “occupied”. One, a rustic cabin owned by
David Owens, sheltered Richard Phelan, the town’s mason, who constructed some
of the massive sandstone foundations that support Waynesburg’s historic
buildings today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Christian
Tarr of Fayette County, an early pottery entrepreneur, built a cabin on the SE
corner of High and Whiskey Alley where potter Nicholas Hager lived and worked,
selling to Hager in 1803. Meanwhile, Jacob Hager, brother of Nicholas, opened a
second pottery shop across the alley. Early potters made bricks as well as
housewares so it is likely that the Hagers contributed to some of Waynesburg’s
first brick buildings.</div>

Among the
three occupied “houses” valued at $100 or less, one was owned by Patrick Martin,
a Revolutionary War hero who had served under Col. Anthony Wayne. It was
occupied by Nathaniel Jennings, a carpenter, who with his brother Benjamin,

Waynesburg including the Eclipse Theatre that I wrote about last month.</div>

a pioneer of cinema history. Unusual for his time, he was both theatre operator
and filmmaker. With a hand-cranked, 35-mm camera, he captured both important
events and every-day life in Waynesburg from 1914 until 1929, showing his films
alongside commercial releases at The Eclipse. Miraculously, about an hour and a
half of his footage survives, now owned by the Waynesburg Fire Department. With
new technology, it’s hoped they can be enhanced and enjoyed by the community.</span></span></div>

story far older than the theatre. The building behind the 1929 addition dates to before 1808 when a house on the lot was described in a deed. Its colonial
style and gable roof are consistent with the date, as are the handmade bricks. The Jennings brothers were
early owners until 1834. One of them, Benjamin, was a carpenter credited with
building many of the first houses in Waynesburg. </span></span></div>

architects because it was surrounded by buildings on three sides. Only the west
elevation facing Church Street accommodated windows. With techniques that would
today be called “green building,” they maximized the amount of natural light
brought into the building with skylights and prism windows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

straightened to reach directly into the building, a technique known as
“skylighting.” PPG (Pittsburgh Plate Glass) was one of the producers of such
panels. </span></span></div>

near First Federal where one can observe that the front and side wings, although
both brick, are not the same height. The shorter wing along Church Street is older,
dating to 1808-1812. From its front room, innkeeper Robert Cathers enlisted men
to go to Baltimore to fight in the War of 1812. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"> By 1825, Sayers Corner had gained its current appearance when
innkeeper Thomas Hoskinson erected the main wing facing High Street. His establishment
was described as a “Tavern Stand” in an early advertisement. In the days before
paved roads, this was one of many inns in Waynesburg that accommodated residents
of outlying townships who were conducting business at the county seat.</span></span></span></div>

Sayers Corner as “buildings without traditional style”. He wrote: “These must be counted among the most
interesting architectural remains of the district. Their quiet lines and
excellent mass are wholly satisfying.” </span></span></span></div>

From 19<sup>th</sup>

as the Helphenstine Building.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The building’s
history began in 1834 when William A. Helphenstine, an accomplished tin- and
coppersmith, came to Waynesburg and set up shop to handcraft housewares and
construction materials. He married a local girl, Elizabeth Piatt, and together
they reared eight children in a frame house next door that in 1865 was
described as a “dwelling and front room occupied as tin shop.”</div>

Among his
more significant local projects was the new (1850-1851) Courthouse where William
roofed the copper dome and lined the hat in General Greene’s hand. An 1868 ad
in the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Waynesburg Republican” promoted
his sale of cooking, heating and parlor stoves, tin, copper and sheet iron
wares, and spouting and roofing at “the old stand south of the Sheriff’s
House.” Four sons joined him in the trade. </div>

insurance maps from 1886-1925 identify a variety of rental uses in the new storefront:
“Liquors” in 1886, the “Waynesburg Independent” newspaper printing plant in
1891, and the store of W. T. Hays in 1901. He sold books, wallpaper, stationery,
postcards, children’s toys and rotary sewing machines. By 1908 a frame building
had been added in the rear for printing plus a bicycle repair shop run by his
son James Hays. </div>

During his
brief ownership Meighen added two garage doors on the alley and a ramp from
Washington Street. Today, the garage doors are once again windows but the
basement garage remains a large open space. The “Fresh Ground Coffee” sign above
the ramp remains from another former tenant, a wholesale food business. </div>

When Harry
Cummings bought the building in 1925, he replaced the rear frame addition with
brick and remodeled the apartments. His estate sold the property in 1976 when
it became the “Jury Box,” a popular bar/restaurant. More recently, it has been
a gymnasium/rehab center and office space for State Representative Bill
DeWeese, Jacobs Petroleum and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>now Pollock Morris Law

The site of St.
Ann Church is even more historic than its 1871 building. From 1799 until today,
the Roman Catholic diocese has owned the corner of High and Cumberland Streets.

While some historians
described a simple log chapel on the site ca. 1800, others said there was no
early building and the few Catholics in Waynesburg worshipped in private homes.
The truth is lost in time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is known
is that in 1817 a traveling priest wrote to the Bishop of Baltimore: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">“There is scarcely a Catholic in Waynesburg and very few
in the neighboring county. Of course there is scarcely any prospect of building
a church there for several years.” </span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">We do know that a chapel of hand-made bricks, begun in 1832
and completed in 1839, was dedicated to St. Ann. It, however, became unstable
and within 20 years, in the 1850’s, services resumed in private homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Since the founding of Waynesburg more than 200 years ago,
one lot has always had the same owner, St. Ann Roman Catholic Church. The
southeast corner of High and Cumberland Streets was called Lot #136 in the
original surveyor’s plan. Purchased in November 1799 by Rev. Patrick Lonergan,
a missionary priest from County Donegal, Ireland, it has never been sold.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Father Lonergan had a dream of establishing a colony for
Irish Catholics in southwestern Pennsylvania. After crossing the mountains from
eastern Pennsylvania, he arrived in June 1795 at the first Catholic settlement
in this corner of the state, a chapel in Westmoreland County now known as St.
Vincent’s Arch Abbey.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">According to early church histories, he did not stay
long.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a few Irish families, he went
first to Donegal Township in Washington County where he bought several thousand
acres. He asked the Bishop in Baltimore, John Carroll, to direct Irish Catholic
settlers to him “as they would enjoy all the benefits of religion.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Soon thereafter disappointed with the quality of the land,
he adjusted his sights to Waynesburg where for $217 he bought four lots on
Greene Street plus the church lot on High Street. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">At this time, there were few Roman Catholics living in
southwestern Pennsylvania, the closest chapel being the Jacob’s Creek colony near
Connellsville, Fayette County.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">It was fascinating for this writer to discover that from
1799 to 1801, Waynesburg had a resident priest who ministered to a scattered
flock as far away as Pittsburgh and Butler County while Pittsburgh did not have
a resident priest until 1808.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">A letter in the Greene County Deed Book No. 1 explains
what happened to Father Lonergan after he failed to build a chapel or convent in
Waynesburg. In September 1801, he wrote to Bishop Carroll that although he had
previously committed to staying in “Pittsburg,” he was now compelled by “extreme
distress” to abandon his design, and planned to return to Europe with a friend.
He sent the deeds to the five Waynesburg lots to Bishop Carroll. They were
never recorded in Bishop Carroll’s name, but the letter was and the property
continues today to be owned by the Roman Catholic Church.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Father Lonergan did not go to Europe. Instead, after a brief
stay at the Catholic colony in Donegal Township, Butler County, he travelled down
the Mississippi to a parish assignment in the Red River Valley of Louisiana. He
died in New Orleans in 1804, at the age of 52. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">No record exists of what his followers did next, but it’s doubtful
they stayed in Waynesburg. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1816, a
visiting priest wrote: “There is scarcely a Catholic in Waynesburg and very few
in the neighboring county.”</span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Father Lonergan’s attraction to Waynesburg may be
explained by what happened 30 years earlier. One of my ancestors, Felix Hughes,
led four Catholic families to Greene County, settling near Carmichaels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As early as 1771, they petitioned the Bishop for
pastoral care, but no traveling priest was available. There’s no doubt they
would have been supportive of Father Lonergan’s plan and disappointed when it failed.</span></span></div>

<i></i><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">How well I remember Waynesburg’s Memorial Day Parades of
the 1950s, full of marching troops, bands and floats. My grandmother, Mrs. Asa
G. Wiley, was one of the Gold Star mothers who wore a corsage and rode in a convertible.
People cried when they passed by. Too young to understand, I later realized that
they were honoring her loss of a son in World War II, my uncle, Capt. Robert C.
Wiley, for whom the Armory is named.</span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">When Company K mobilized in February 1941, Uncle Bob was
34 years old, married and the father of a son, considerably older than the
other volunteers whom he supervised. But, he was unwilling to abandon “his boys,”
many of whom he had taught and coached at local high schools. He left Waynesburg
as the First Sergeant of Company K, and within two years was company commander.
Company K was part of the Pennsylvania 28<sup>th</sup> Division. After extensive
training stateside, they deployed to Europe in September 1943 and joined the
Normandy invasion in July 1944.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">On August 9, 1944, in a fierce battle with the Germans
near St. Lo, most of his officers were killed or wounded. Despite being severely
wounded, he continued to lead until he was killed by a sniper four days later. Posthumously,
he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation’s second highest
award for valor.</span></span></div>

finest public structure in Greene County, one of 20 built across the state. The
legislature had appropriated $30,000 for its construction by W. L. Blair &

floor of the Ross Building on South Morris Street, today Hot Rod’s restaurant.</span></span></span></span></div>

facilities were on the main floor with a community lending library and
amusement room above, and in the basement, kitchen, showers and steam heating
plant. The large drill hall was 60 x 75 feet with an 18-foot arched ceiling and
wood floor. It was used for many community events including early Waynesburg
College basketball games. It was named the Robert C. Wiley Armory in 1999. </span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Truss bridges are composed of connected, load-bearing
elements formed into triangular units. They come in many variations, often
named for the inventor. The Waynesburg bridge design has been described as “bizarre
and unique.” While its diagonals follow the Pratt configuration, the counterweights are Whipple. In Pratt trusses,
vertical members and diagonals slope down toward the center whereas in Whipple
diagonals cross the neighboring vertical rather than connect to it. </span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"> In bridge development, iron was a brief link between traditional
wood or stone and modern steel. The first iron bridge in America was constructed in 1836 over
Dunlap’s Creek in nearby Brownsville. However, its arch design was not
often repeated because it was more difficult and expensive to build than the soon-to-be-developed
truss system. By the 1870s, iron truss bridges were erected on a large scale across
the country, though few remain today.</span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Lisa and Jeff Schwarz have
meticulously preserved a grand house on North West Street near the Commons. It
was built in 1905 by attorney Milton R. Travis, one of many residences erected
during Waynesburg’s “Gilded Age,” an economic boom fueled by oil-and-gas revenues
that made many professionals and businessmen wealthy. </span></span></div>

first floor porch and second floor balcony. Supported by Corinthian columns, the
portico is topped by a classically-ornamented pediment with a central window

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">It’s similar to the front of the Greene
County Courthouse, built 50 years earlier in the Greek Revival style. Both architectural
styles were inspired by classical antiquity. Lying between them in the timeline
of architectural development is the Victorian era when elaborate ornamentation and
fussy design were the fashion.</span></span><br />

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">However, by 1900, the pendulum had
swung back to classicism and a focus on simplicity, natural materials and
traditional craftsmanship. Architects and builders chose design elements from a
wide variety of styles, often mix-and-matching them. Some styles, like
Classicism, repeated historical concepts while others like Arts and Crafts were

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Proponents of the Arts and Crafts
movement valued beauty, simplicity and function, feeling that mass production created
inferior products and dehumanized workers. In Chicago, it led to development of
the Prairie School of architecture by Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and
others. Later, Wright culminated his philosophy of “organic architecture” at Fallingwater
in Fayette County, not far from Waynesburg. </span></span><br />

without mention of the huge rhododendron in the front yard. It was one of a
pair planted long ago by Goldie Milliken. While one did not survive, the other
flourished. Eventually, she had to re-route the front sidewalk around it. Five
years ago, it almost died, but Lisa had it cut back and once again it’s
thriving.</span></span><br />

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The builder, M. R. Travis, did not stay in his first house for long. Within two years, he had moved a block up the hill on North West Street to a pure Arts and Crafts design. Both houses are pictured in the second edition of "Waynesburg Prosperous and Beautiful," ca. 1908. Both are identified as his residence. </span></span><br />

this central lot came to be available 140 years after the town was established is
answered in the Downey House Fire of December 1925. One of the buildings

congregation moved to its current location at Richhill and College Streets. Today,
there is no church on Church Street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

They abandoned plans in 1929, selling the lot to Robert H. Robinson, a Monongahela businessman who owned "The Democrat Messenger" and other local papers. During the Depression when there was little work for architects, Robinson almost single-handedly kept Scheibler employed, </span>first in 1935 with a printing plant for the Canonsburg
“Daily Notes,” then four years later with the Democrat Messenger Building. In
the same year, he hired Scheibler to design a “Model Dwelling” to address a shortage
of affordable modern housing in the Mon Valley. Robinson publicized the project
often in his Monongahela “Daily Republican,” and when complete, opened it to
the public. Later it became the home of his son, John Robinson.</span></span><br />

caretakers of historic buildings in Greene, Washington and Fayette Counties
gathered in Waynesburg November 4 for the first ever “Greene County Heritage
Workshop: How to Care for Your Historic Building(s),” sponsored by the Pittsburgh
History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) and 16 local co-sponsors. A full
day’s program of preservation topics, resources and inspiration was presented
by state, regional and local officials along with PHLF staff and local experts.

Preservation Coordinator of the State Historic Preservation Office
(Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission), stating that “It is an
economic imperative for communities like Waynesburg to use historic
preservation as a 21st-century development strategy. Heritage tourism is a
major industry. By saving historic places, a community provides meaningful,
authentic experiences for citizens and for visitors––and maintains a
sustainable, healthy built environment.” </span><br />

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The Sheriff’s House in downtown Waynesburg is an important
piece of historic architecture that’s often overlooked because it’s attached to
the Courthouse. Built in 1880 as a “stand alone” structure, it’s now connected
to a 3-story office building at the rear of the Courthouse. Inside and out, the
original and new buildings blend seamlessly, designed in 1997 by preservation
architect Ellis Schmidlapp of Pittsburgh. </span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Facing South Washington Street, the original façade of the
Sheriff’s House is one of the few remaining examples of Second Empire
architecture in Waynesburg, a style popular after the Civil War. Second Empire
designs are easily recognized for their distinctive mansard roofs with two
slopes on all four sides. Often with dormer windows, the lower slope is steeper
than the upper, creating a full story instead of a smaller attic. </span></span></div>

Sheriff’s House and its companion Jail on Church Street, both of pressed brick.
In between, he placed a lobby connecting them to a 2-story courthouse addition
that he also designed. The Jail was demolished in 1997, replaced by the office
building. </span></span></div>

at California (PA), Washington & Jefferson, West Virginia University and Monongahela
College in Jefferson, PA (now defunct). All were Second Empire in style. </span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">When carpenter John Call built the Sheriff’s House and
Jail, he used steam-fired engines to run the machinery at his shop on West
Greene Street. There he made the doors, frames and sashes from wood transported
from the West over the newly opened Washington and Waynesburg Railroad. The
Industrial Revolution had arrived in Waynesburg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Quite a contrast from the hand tools used to
build the Courthouse 30 years earlier.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Greene County Courthouse is the Architectural
Gem of Waynesburg. According to “Buildings of Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh and
Western Pennsylvania,”2010, it is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“most
beautiful representative of its era in western Pennsylvania.” </i>Since 1850,
it has occupied the Public Square in the center of town, a rare remnant of the pre-Civil
War period of Greek Revival design. </span></div>

too small and old-fashioned. In 1907, Fred High wrote in “Waynesburg Prosperous
and Beautiful:” <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“The present Court House
was erected in 1852 (sic) and was one of the finest in its day, but it will

Greene is the only county among its neighbors to retain its Greek Revival
courthouse. The others were demolished in the 1890-1900s for massive, stone
edifices.</span></div>

University, is the most important Victorian building in Waynesburg. It was
designed in 1872 by Pittsburgh architect James W. Drum. The style is “Second
Empire,” inspired by the elegance of Paris during the “Second Empire” reign of
Napoleon III. Miller Hall has been listed on the National Register of Historic
Places since 1977. It is significant historically and architecturally.</span></span><br />

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">When Waynesburg College began in 1850, it had only one
building, now known as Hanna Hall. As the school grew, it soon became inadequate.
From the beginning of his presidency in 1859, Miller understood the need for a
second, larger building. Foreseeing growing demand for higher education and increasing
competition from other institutions, he wrote: “To arise and build is the only
way to escape being swallowed up by this competition.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

construction, but only on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. Fund-raising continued slowly,
and so did construction. Cornerstones were laid in 1879, the roof completed by 1882,
two interior staircases finished in 1888, and so it progressed. Finally, in
1899, all debts were paid and Miller Hall was dedicated. By then, Second Empire
was out-of-fashion, but this fact does not diminish its significance. </span></span></div>

height, topped by a mansard roof with ornately decorated dormers. There is a massive
entrance tower and segmented, arched windows of colored glass. Local sandstone quarried
south of town forms the foundation, decorative columns and window caps. Both
outer and interior supporting walls are brick, two feet thick. There is an
abundance of finely crafted wood trim inside and out. Several interior rooms
were decorated by local organizations in the ornate fashions of the period. </span></span><br />

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The Town of Waynesburg did not expand beyond its original
grid of streets and alleys until after the Civil War. The southern border,
located just below Greene Street, was aptly named South Alley. From there, the
Slater farm extended all the way to Ten Mile Creek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">In April 1872, Waynesburg’s first “development” began when
Thomas W. Sayers laid out 128 lots on the former Slater farm. Called the
“Sayers Addition,” it is known today as the “South Side.” The plan included
new streets named Lincoln, Elm, First and Water, bordered by Morgan Street on the
east and Spring Alley on the west.</span></span></div>

Street to Walter Guy Scott, the distinguished Professor of Mathematics at
Waynesburg College. He purchased the entire block between Walnut Alley and Elm
Street for $700.00, the equivalent of $13,725.00 today. It extended west 180
feet to Fruit Alley. Soon, the professor and his wife were erecting one of the
first, and finest, houses in the neighborhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

of the Scott House when the family lived there, surrounded by large, open lawns,
as shown in early photos. Later, the property was subdivided, adding four houses,
each placed closer to the street, blocking a full view of the Scott House. Although
its front is narrow, the sides are long, creating a large mass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

brave souls, both white and free black, helped slaves escape via the
Underground Railroad. While not actually a “railroad,” it had “conductors” and
“station masters” managing safe hiding places, meals and transportation in
total secrecy. Because penalties were severe if caught, operatives knew little
about other participants and did not speak about their roles. In fact, many
remained silent for the rest of their lives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

In fact, the slaves had escaped Waynesburg, and were taken
to John Adams, a free mulatto on Hargus Creek near Rogersville. After hiding in

William Leonard of Leonardsville near Holbrook.<br />

“The store of Harrison & Cohen, where for half a century the gentry of Waynesburg
was outfitted, is no more. From the late ‘nineties on, judges, doctors and
lawyers mingled with rollicking college freshmen at its racks and counters. Whether
it was a dress suit or a football uniform, Harrison & Cohen supplied it. One
of the last articles sold before the store closed its door this week, after the
death of Daniel Cohen, the last surviving partner, was a 1912 football helmet. It
was purchased for the Waynesburg College Museum.”</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The story of Isaac and Lee Grossman—“the
Grossman Brothers”—is typical of many Jews who came from Eastern Europe seeking
economic opportunity and escape from religious oppression. The brothers were
born in Posen, Germany, an area that was historically Polish but controlled by
Prussia from 1798-1918.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>

of Jewish families to the United States. Large enclaves established themselves
in trade in the commercial, industrial and cultural centers of the North East:
first New York, then Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and Chicago in the
Midwest. Although the Jewish merchants of Waynesburg lived and worked in a
small town in southwestern Pennsylvania, they procured their goods, and later meet their wives, in these cities.</span></div>

at the age of 18. It’s not known why he chose Greene County, but within four
weeks of stepping off the boat, he was in Waynesburg peddling goods by foot. Within
three years, he had purchased a horse and wagon, allowing him to sell throughout
the county. Two years later--in 1882—younger brother Lee arrived and began selling
by foot. Within a year, he too had his own horse and wagon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

panels that emitted sunlight into the basement. The department store occupied
three floors, including the basement. Above were two floors of offices. Customers
