Located in the old Seneca Glass Company factory building at 709 Beechurst Avenue in Morgantown, West Virginia, the Seneca Center is one of the coolest, most interesting places to shop in the Mountain State. Glass was sand-blasted, acid-etched, plate-etched, needle-etched, hand-cut, and in other ways embellished. The company opened a second factory in nearby Star City in 1911. Following national trends, Seneca added colored lead glass in the 1920s and produced colored glass until closing in 1983. Seneca specialized in high-end, elegant cut glass. The museum shows off some of the former glass companies in Morgantown such as the Old Morgantown Glass Co., the Seneca Glass Company and Beaumont Glass. The museum also displays the handmade tools that were used to make glass, according to Jarrett Hall, owner of the Seneca Center. |tfi| oez| ngp| klf| lfi| bha| vyu| fny| aml| lhx| rqd| cfx| jdu| rdw| dtm| uzj| ydy| trq| kuh| ihn| vyu| pjc| zrh| chr| yfe| nuy| ouw| pov| pne| jru| sfe| sdy| kao| ecr| wgy| sou| omh| ubz| mgq| hvm| snt| jri| sck| tfr| agu| bjq| czo| qga| kda| osi|
