Johnston's Farmhouse

George Johnston's brick farmhouse, shown in this 1885 photograph, was located on the Pike where Graham Field is today. George in herited the farm from his father, Gen. John Johnston, who had received 620 acres as a grant for his service in the Revolution. The farm, later owned by George's sons James and Jonas occupied most of the land west of Woodlawn Cemetery down to Water Street (later Swissvale Ave).
