EMLENTON

	617 Hill Street

At the other end of Hill Street, the west end, at 617 stands a Queen Anne residence which Harry J. Crawford built in 1903.  H. J. Crawford was the first cousin of Eben Crawford’s sons.  Harry was a particularly successful oil and natural gas producer at the turn of the century.  He and several partners gained control of the Emlenton Refining Company located just up the street and along the river.  Eventually, the Emlenton Refining Company became the major constituent of the Quaker State Oil Refining Company.  H. J. Crawford remained in Emlenton all his life.  Also widowed at a young age, he raised two teenage daughters in this Hill Street home.  A man of great wealth, he was known for his simple, frugal way of life and his generosity toward the community he loved.
 

DRIVING DIRECTIONS (to Emlenton): Interstate 80 to either Exit 5 or 6, then Route 38 to Emlenton.  An alternative route from Pittsburgh would be Route 8 to Butler, Route 68 and 268 to Parker on the Allegheny River, then Route 268 north along the river to Emlenton.  Much of this old route takes you through nineteenth century oil fields.
