First United Presbyterian Church

Now called Covenant Church, but still Presbyterian. As in most cities in western Pennsylvania, there were two First Presbyterians; the ones who built this church were the United Presbyterians, a Pittsburgh-based splinter group that reunited with the larger body of American Presbyterians in 1958, a century and two days after they had walked out. This church, built in 1908, was designed by Sharon’s own E. E. Clepper, who seems to have been the pull-out-all-the-stops type when it came to ornamenting a building.
