Fall on the Mon

The Mon being the Monongahela River. One of the few that  flow North. We live right on the bank. Our house was built in 1830. The staircase was a gift from the Mellons. Before our house was built there was a boatyard on this site. Perfect as we have the river on the back and Ten Mile Creek on the side. Just thought that you might like the view.

The deed was before they raised the river for barges to be able to naviated the river. Mostly coal is hauled here. A few gas or barges hauling stone. But not very often. Oh and NO neighbors.
