41.237065, -80.409501 Now Whispering Pines Park. Brick House is the only structure remaining.

House is Hermitage Historical Society. 5465 E State St, Hermitage, PA 16148

Known as "Stewart House," after the original owner. Brick Italianate style house built in 1858 or so. There originally was more of a tower on it, or cupola roof on the tower part, but it was struck by lightning and not replaced. The buildings behind the house were chicken barns. One or two burned and the others were razed when the city acquired the property. There was a 2 stall brick outhouse in matching Italianate style. This farm originally included land from Robertson Road to the west, and N. Neshannock Rd. to the east. It also had land on the south side of Rt 62 East State St. Currently owned by city of Hermitage. Stewart House is open for tours at specific times or by arrangement. Mapped.
