Here is a photo gallery of the interior of the old Mennonite Publishing House located on Walnut Street in Scottdale. The old structure is currently the focal point of a bitter dispute between residents of Scottdale and the town council. We have been given gracious permission to post these photos so the people of Scottdale can see how far this building has degraded, and why many citizens think that it has become a safety and health hazard.
About Joe Levandosky
Joe Levandosky has been chronicling the highs, lows, and eyebrow-raising moments of Scottdale life since before the borough had Wi-Fi. When he's not chasing down town council drama or decoding zoning ordinances written in ancient bureaucratese, he's probably sipping lukewarm coffee and muttering about potholes.
A lifelong resident with a sixth sense for spotting political nonsense from 50 yards, Joe believes in transparency, accountability, and the sacred right to complain about parking. His opinions blend investigative grit with just enough sarcasm to keep things spicy—because in small-town politics, truth is often stranger than fiction.
He’s been called “
the voice of reason,” “
a thorn in someone’s side,” and once, “
the guy who knows too much about sewer budgets.” He wears all titles proudly.
