William Penberthy

  • Residence: Jackson Township

  • Age: 53

  • Occupation: He is the owner of Penberthy Photography Studio, Jackson Township.

  • Notable: Penberthy received a Heritage Award from Historic Harmony for preservation and restoration of the 1907 Duff-North House that is his home and photography studio. The house was built as the summer home of Millvale brewer Joseph Pore. It later was the home of the Duffs, then the Norths and once housed the Duffmont tearoom.

  • Hobbies: He enjoys gardening and is a supervisor at the Seven Springs Snowboard School.

  • Quote: "I did the photography for a book called 'Historical Houses of the Sewickley Valley.' That's what got me started. The feature of the house that made it interesting to me was the 40-by-40 room that was a restaurant."
