  • Description
  • This wood frame house is a fine example of a Western Pennsylvania farmhouse of the Victorian era. Hill Crest, the Carlisle family farm, had ties to one of Monroeville’s founding fathers -- Joel Monroe. In 1854, Joel Monroe sold his farm along Northern Pike to his daughter Rebecca and her husband, Henry Duff; it then became known as the Duff Farm. James Carlisle’s farm was their next door neighbor, and the families intermarried.
