The land for this beautiful estate was originally owned by Samil D. Park who
sold it to H. A. Beale / Parkesburg Iron Company on December 11, 1889.
(Page 397, Chester County Courthouse Records) The mansion was built un-
der the direction of the Parkesburg Iron Company using the finest materials
and craftsmanship as well as plenty of steel i beams for unparalleled strength
and beautiful architecture. The house was a built in a Federal Style and some
of these features and clues can still be seen today, such as the edges of theold stairs in the basement walls. As the Parkesburg Iron Company flour-
ished, this was home to company executives, their families, and their guests.
In the late 1920s, accomplished statesman Thomas W Baldwin purchased
the property and updated the house sparing no expense while he added Vic-
torian flare throughout the home. Turn of the century upgrades included
huge ornate cherry wooden beams on the 11 ceilings with columns stretch-
ing to the Tiger Maple hard wood flooring throughout. Sunlight flows
through huge picture windows with ornate built in seats while a huge accom-
modating dining room calls all who enter to dine. French doors with glass
door knobs open to an intimate parlor with soft corner lighting shyly waits as
the grand staircase, which Baldwins daughter would later descend in all her
splendor to present her hand in marriage in front of all who gathered in theliving room under the fine crystal chandelier, spills out into the oversized
living room.
Included with the sale of the house are original title transfer Deeds from May
14, 1931 documenting the purchase of the home by Irvine W and Mary Em-
ma Guest from Mr. Baldwin. Also included are title transfer deeds from
March 17, 1938 documenting the purchase of the home by Asher Hawk from
both J. Frank McElwee and Thomas W. Baldwin. Ashers Pharmacy was
only a few blocks away on W 1st Ave.
For the next 62 years the estate and well-manicured grounds would be
known by both visitors and locals alike as The Hawks Nest. When Ashers
pharmacy closed, the pharmacys Grand Mirror became proudly displayedabove the fire place and one of the pharmacys Tiffany style stained glass
lamps was prominently hung in the library. Ashers wife Viola was a well-
known school teacher and often tutored students here in her home.
On June 30 1983, Viola passed away and the estate was split into 3 parcels;
the corner lot at the intersection of Church St. and 1st Ave was left to her son
Lewis Hawk, while the remaining two parcels were left to her daughter Joy
Morris.
In Aug of 1999 Christian Usavage purchased the estate from Joy. Three
months later Christian watched in amazement as his new bride to be, Barbara
Battle would also descend in all her splendor to present her hand in marriage
in front of friends and family gathered in the living room, once again under
the fine crystal chandelier. Some guests remarked they even saw Thomas W
Baldwin smile and wink in approval.
Christian, Barbara and their family have loved the estates rich history and
timeless splendor. They look forward to passing the estates beauty on, in the
wonderful legacy all started by the founders and visionaries of Parkesburg
and the Parkesburg Iron Company.
