Description: Picture of the Torrence House located at 121 Colson Drive in Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania, on May 9, 2010. This fieldstone house was built in the 1790s by Maj. James Torrence, who fought in the American Revolutionary War. Additions and modernizations were added later. The Torrence House is surrounded by trees, and inconspicuously blends in with its modern suburban setting. It is mentioned on page 32 of A Guidebook to Historic Western Pennsylvania by George Swetnam and Helene Smith (1977). The house is on the List of Pittsburgh Landmarks recognized by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (PHLF).
