History of the Greenwood House

 

Built in 1905 by J.Harold Sweeny,this lovely American 4-Square design house was a cozy shelter for two families and a total of twelve children.The original owners,Edward and Margaret Sweeney were part of Connellsville society and hosted gatherings in the spacious foyer,living room and dining room.Mrs Sweeny was an avid decorator and we have tried to return to the original appearance of the home,using period-type wallpaper, colors and furnishings.The woodwork has been preserved and remains beautiful with an ornate fireplace in the livng room,lovely cornices and moulding throughout.

The name Greenwood originated from it's location.At one time,this section of town was owned by Miles Greenwood, a friend of coal and coke baron, James Cochran.We have several letters addressed to Mr and Mrs.Sweeney of  'Greenwood,Pa'.
