Building on Smithfield Street, Boston

5729 Smithfield Street, Boston, Penna.

This tidy little building has the look of an old meeting house or school, or even a little theater. Do any Elizabeth Township readers know its story? It’s on Smithfield Street in the little hamlet of Boston, just across the Boston Bridge from Versailles.

Front

There was a date stone or plaque in the gable once, and perhaps fairly recently: it was painted around when the current coat of paint was applied.

    This was originally built as a GAR Hall in 1886. My two sources are the GM Hopkins Plat Map of Boston from 1900 and the History of Allegheny County by A. Warner and Co. from 1889.
