Description: Picture of Old St. Luke's Episcopal Church at 330 Old Washington Pike in Scott Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, on April 10, 2010. The stone church was built in 1852, though services had been held on the spot in a stockade as early as 1765. The church is on the List of Pittsburgh Landmarks recognized by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (PHLF). A sign near the church says the following: "Old St. Luke's Church - Oldest Episcopal Church in southwestern Pennsylvania, founded after the French & Indian War by veteran Maj. William Lea on his land grant. Francis Reno was the first vicar. Church members included Gen. John Neville, the unpopular tax collector in the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion that disrupted the area and unsettled the congregation. Renewed interest in 1852 led to this stone church, with its 1823 English pipe organ, the first brought over the Alleghenies. Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission 2001."
