History and architectural features
The oldest house (1808) in Zelienople, the Passavant House now serves as a museum, library, and headquarters for the Zelienople Historical Society, which offers tours upon request. The interior features a large collection of furniture, clothing, personal and household items, particularly of the Passavant family, dating back to the early 1800s.
The building's name reflects the Passavant family, the most famous of whom was Rev. William Passavant (1821–1894), who was born in the house and became known for his charitable works on behalf of the Lutheran community in the United States.
The simple 2+1⁄2-story, three-bay by two-bay, brick dwelling sits on a sandstone foundation. Built in 1809, a two-story frame addition was added to the rear circa 1820. A two-story bay window and porch were added in 1915.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
