The former Ford dealership along Route 19 in McMurray is finally being demolished to make way for Giant Eagle Express store.
The former Charapp Ford South building along Route 19 in Peters Township is finally coming down.

Township commissioners are scheduled to vote Aug. 6 on a contract to demolish the barn, which once was part of a farm that served Mayview State Hospital. The barn represents the last surviving vestige of the barn. The low bid of $79,899 is from Dom Folino Construction of Bethel Park. Upper St. Clair’s 2012 budget allots $150,000 toward the demolition project.

What a waste! The barn and the other buildings should have been renovated by some type of group. They all could have been used as a retreat center for different groups or churches. Just needed some people to be in charge of it all. more ›
