Therefore, we approached several Western Pennsylvania $185,000 for the preparation of conservation plans for colleges to see if they would like Landmarks to apply for such a grant on their behalf. Allegheny College, Slippery Rock University, Geneva Ultimately we were able to submit a proposal on behalf of Allegheny College, Slippery College, and Grove City College, with work to be Rock University, Geneva College, and Grove City College.

Landmarks realized that there were a number of small colleges in Western the colleges. Beaver Falls since 1879. We will study six buildings on a six-acre campus, as well as the old, now-deserted college railroad station. The oldest and most notable building is the Old Main of 1881, mid-Victorian Gothic. A little unexpected is a mansard-roofed wooden house, “Ferncliffe,” also built in 1881. The name of the New Castle architect William George Eckles appears three times in this modest building group: in the Johnstown Gymnasium, the McCartney Library, and McKee Hall, a women’s dormitory. Again, a campus study is part of the project, in this case involving a proposed highway realignment. Old Main and “Ferncliffe,” a mansard-roofed wooden house, were both built at Geneva College in 1881. Allegheny College’s Bentley Hall of 1820 and the Newton Observatory of 1901.

The Honorable David Sweet (DS): Hello, Jesse. How are you? JT: I‟m well, thank you. DS: Good. JT: I‟m sitting here with David Sweet, who represented the 48th District, a Democrat from Washington County, from 1977 to 1988. Thank you for being with me. DS: Well, thank you for having me. It‟s great to be able to memorialize some of the memories and the things that happened over the years while I was in the Legislature, and I‟m not sure, like many things, I‟m not sure anyone will ever view this or read it, but it‟s probably good to have it all on the record. It‟s great. JT: Absolutely, absolutely. What I‟d like to do is start out just by asking you some questions about your early life. DS: Sure. JT: Tell me about your childhood, where you grew up, your family, and some of your early education. 2 DS: Well, I grew up in Washington, Pennsylvania, which is a little town. It was about 20 thousand then – it‟s probably not much more than 12 or 13 thousand now –25 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. JT: Okay. DS: And Washington – Little Washington to some people because people would drive through – Route 40 was the old national pike, and the interstate was actually built when I was a very small child that went around Washington, Pennsylvania, but many people knew of Washington, Pennsylvania, because they had to slog right through the main street of the town, as you did many towns before the interstate highway system, and it was Little Washington, but it was a good little town.

  • 1996 Row Office Elections
    1996 Row Office Elections May 2000 Pennsylvania elects relatively few statewide officials. Appellate court elections aside, only three state officials are elected other than the governor and lieutenant governor. These officials-- auditor general, attorney general, and treasurer--are important political as well as government leaders. Many of them use their statewide name recognition and influence to seek either a governorship or a U.S. Senate post. For example, then Auditor General Barbara Hafer ran for governor in 1990 against Bob Casey. Casey himself had served as auditor general before he was elected governor in 1986. Former State Treasurer Catherine Baker Knoll sought the governorship in 1994. In 1986, Auditor General Don Bailey ran for the U.S. Senate and lost in the Democratic primary. The elections for these “row offices” take place at the same time as the presidential elections. The term for each office is four years, and an incumbent is constitutionally limited to serving two terms. The auditor general ensures that public revenues are deposited and spent according to their legal purposes. In 1996, the office conducted approximately 6,500 audits of various state and local school district operations. The treasurer handles the revenues of the Commonwealth, deposits them in approved state depositories, invests some assets in short-term securities, and disburses Commonwealth funds to those properly entitled to receive them. The attorney general empanels grand juries, oversees criminal and civil prosecutions, and prosecutes consumer, public corruption, and drug cases. To set the stage for the 2000 “row office” elections, an analysis of the 1996 campaigns and elections appear below.
