Finleyville, PA

Finleyville is a quiet Washington County borough that grew around a historic crossroads south of Pittsburgh. Centered along Route 88 and Peters Creek, the community keeps much of its early road-and-rail heritage visible today. Walking along Washington Avenue and Railroad Street, you can still see landmarks from that era, including the former B&O railroad station and the old First National Bank building that now serves as the borough hall. It has a grounded, close-knit feel that gives the neighborhood a genuine small-town charm.
