The Sackville House was a historic building in East Washington, Pennsylvania. It was located at 309 East Wheeling Street in Washington, Pennsylvania before it was demolished in 1980.[3]
The 17-room building was constructed in 1884 by John Vester.[3] Ownership of the building passed to Vester's nephew Leo Sackville in 1943.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1976.[1] By the late 1970s, the building had been converted to 3 apartments.[3] Sackville's widow later sold the building to the Washington & Jefferson College.[3]
As the college's plans for the building's demolition progressed, the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation and the college discussed the possibility of preserving the building.[3] However, zoning issues with East Washington, the projected $40,000 costs of moving, and the additional cost to restore the building after being converted to apartments halted that effort.[3] By 1982, the Olin Fine Arts Center was completed.[4][5]
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission's Bureau for Historic Preservation was notified of the building's demolition on June 1, 2010.[6] It was formally de-listed from the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 2010, roughly 20 years after its demolition.[2]
It continues to be designated as a historic residential landmark/farmstead by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation.[7]
