Wikipedia · Matthew S. Quay House

The Matthew S. Quay House is a historic house at 205 College Avenue in Beaver, Pennsylvania. Built sometime after the American Civil War, it was from 1874 until his death the home of Matthew Stanley Quay (1833–1904), a United States senator and one of the most influential political party bosses of the late 19th century. His house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975. It was the location of the J.T. Anderson Funeral Home. However, now it is home to Covenant Financial Advisors.
