26 Pittsburgh Circle
The house at 26 Pittsburgh Circle was built in 1902 and David Cartwright purchased the home in 1906. The Cartwrights lived in the humungous house for a little over 50 years until 1960 when they sold the house to Jack & Judith Brooks.
David & Hester Cartwright originally opened a grocery store & home furnishing store on the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Eighth Street when they came to Ellwood City in 1895. Business was a success and three years later they expanded when in 1898 they erected the Cartwright Building at 619 Lawrence Avenue.
Doctor & Mrs. Brooks lived in the big house that also served as Dr. Brooks offices. I remember walking into the waiting room that still had the original wood flooring from 1902 and the room had twelve foot ceilings. Maybe they weren’t twelve feet, and I was only a little kid afraid of getting a shot at the doctors office. I was only a kid but I still remember the rooms having that “old” time look without looking rundown.
