  • Old Farmhouse, Cranberry Township

    Farmhouse in Cranberry

    This is a typical Pennsylvania I-house with an attractively gingerbreaded front porch. Cranberry Township in Butler County is one of the hottest development zones in the suburbs, but in among the townhouses and shopping centers there are still active farms, and a considerable number of old farmhouses from the middle 1800s. This one could use some touching up here and there, but it might be worth the expense.

  • One-Room Schoolhouse in Cranberry Township

    This lovingly preserved one-room schoolhouse from 1874, known as the Sample Schoolhouse, lives in the front yard of the township administration building. Father Pitt took its picture when it was tastefully decorated for Christmas.
