Home Plaques

The Scottdale Historical Society “SHS” Plaque Program serves as a visual symbol of civic pride and is meant to signify respect and appreciation for the historic value of our properties.

A Treasure Preserved

A pump organ built in Scottdale and played for many years in a home on South Broadway has been donated to the historical society.The Rev. Ray Beal, a descendant of the Joseph Loucks family, pictured at left, inherited it and restored it more than 40 years ago. The functioning pump organ, built about 1891 by a short-lived manufacturer has a new home in the parlor of the Loucks House on South Chestnut Street.
