Save This Old House: Pennsylvania Federal Style

Though the house sat vacant for the past three years, the structure is in pretty good shape.

West Newton is a quaint town 25 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, with a newly revitalized Main Street. It’s just waiting for someone to come and restore one of its oldest and most treasured houses.
