The Old Sewickley Post Office celebrates its 100th year of existence with the recognition of those who saved it from the chopping block in 1984.
Not every building can live to see 100 years, but thanks to the Old Sewickley Post Office Corporation (OSCOP), the Old Post Office has reached this mile marker with a bright future still ahead. The organization held a reception Saturday night to celebrate the success of the renovation and reopening of the building as the headquarters for the Sweetwater Center for the Arts and the Sewickley Valley Historical Society, which took place 25 years ago. The building, which is in the neo-classical style and was designed by James Knox Taylor at an estimated cost of $75,000, opened on Jan. 29, 1912. “Domestically, the government was showing its power by building civic structures, such as this post office,” said Harton Semple, the executive …

For the first time, the Sewickley Valley Historical Society catalogs and exhibits its collection of vintage clothing.
Visitors who enter the Sewickley Valley Cultural Center may feel that they have arrived just in time for tea. The space, which shares the old post office with the Sweetwater Center for the Arts, has been transformed into a bygone era.
