The area known as Youngstown was settled in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
Believed to be on a road cut through the area during the war between England and France in 1755-60, a number
of taverns and inns operated in the area at the turn of the century. The area became even more popular with travelers
when the Greensburg Turnpike, part of the road running between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, was authorized in 1815.
It wasn't until the construction of Rt. 30 north of Youngstown that it became a quiet residential community.
As would be expected from an area settled this early, many local homes, churches, schools, and businesses
have a rich and long history. But perhaps no individual's history is as well known in the area as Arnold Palmer,
who was born in 1929 in Latrobe and frequented the Latrobe Country Club with regularity as early as age 5. Arnold and his brother, Gerry, not only both still own homes in Latrobe, they are your neighbors.
The home for sale, 207 Arnold Palmer, was built in 1826 and was the home of Jacob Brindle. Jacob's grandfather, Lawrence Brindle, came to Youngstown in the early 1800s and purchased a large tract of land, where he operated a farm with his two sons, John (Jacob's father) and George. George moved to Ohio while John, and later Jacob, inherited the farm. Jacob married Peggy Aukerman and they had three children. One son, E. Lewis Brindle, moved to Latrobe in his twenties and engaged in the grocery business. Another son, John, continued to operate the farm with his wife and seven children. One of those children, Jacob, ran the farm and worked the coal deposits on the property for 25 years until he moved his farm to Latrobe.
This home has a rich history as both the site of an inn and a stagecoach stop. Even more intriguing, a hidden compartment in the attic and local lore lead the current owners to believe it was once a stop on the Underground Railroad.
Most of the Brindle family were laid to rest in this beautiful local cemetary
