Oakmont

John Agnew moved his glass factory and residence to Oakmont in 1880. Thomas Armstrong Hunter moved to the hills above Verona, near Oakmont, around 1869. John Porter and Mary Hannah Agnew Hunter lived in Oakmont until around 1905, when they moved into Pittsburgh (Highland Park).

Oakmont is a pretty town with quiet streets and old homes. My pictures don't do it justice!!
