It is at 429 Wood Street, the corner of Fifth and Wood Streets, California Borough, Washington County, Pennsylvania.
It is a colonial revival house, built in 1903 by Jonathan Winnett Jennings, a Methodist minister from the Monongahela Valley.[2] The house stayed in the Jennings family until 1919; in 1930 when it was acquired by the Gallagher family.
