Manordale Farm ...Built in 1861,the barn
on the property is located on the Harrison City-Export Road.
Manordale Farm was an original grant from the Manor of Denmark,
by the William Penn family to Major Hugh Torrance, Revolutionary
War veteran. Torrance family descendants presently occupy the
farm. Artifacts discovered here indicate much trading was done
in the area by Native Americans. (Watercolor) Artist: Gerry

Greensburg Train Station... Designed by
architect William H. Cookman in 1910, the historic Greensburg
Train Station is currently in the final stages of renovation.
Plans for the property, located at Harrison Avenue and Ehalt
Street, include a visitor's center, shops, offices, and a restaurant.
Artist Marie Green's delightful rendition of the train station
is one of many local scenes the nonagenarian has painted.

on North Main Street, Greensburg, PA, the Museum was a gift to
the community by Mary Marchand Woods. This local treasure features

Pollins' Farm...One of William Penn's
five Manor lands, this property was named Sewickly Manor for
its location overlooking Sewickley Creek in Unity Township. Received
through Penn's heirs, the farm has remained in the Pollins family
through many generations. This scene captures the essence of
the barn built by David S. Pollins in 1849. (Watercolor) Artist:Evelyn Sharbaugh |
|
Pollock's Barn...The red barn, with stone
foundation and original timbers, reflects a time long past. At
least 120 years old, local folklore suggests that it was once
neighbor to a moonshine still. It is located in Unity Township
on Possum Hollow Road, near Lycippus. (Oil) Artist: Nina Stahlberg |
|
Oakford Park Fruit Market...Colorful fruits
and vegetables catch your eye at this popular market. Open from
March through December, plants, fruits, vegetables, and cut Christmas
trees are available in season. Located on Route 130 near Jeannette,
the market has been owned and operated by Charles and Linda Elardo
for 25 years. (Oil Pastels) Artist: Linda
Quigley |

Marinara...The artist's rendition of pasta
sauce and its fresh, fragrant ingredients represents Rizzo's
Malabar Inn, Crabtree, Pennsylvania. Fine Italian food, made
from the original family recipes, has been served here since
1935. Two generations of the DeFabo family continue to own and
operate the popular local restaurant. (Watercolor)
