Passavant House is a historic home located at Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania. The oldest house in Zelienople now serves as a museum, library, and headquarters for the Zelienople Historical Society.[2] Its name reflects the Passavant family, the most famous of whom was Rev. William Passavant (1821-1894, known for his charitable works on behalf of the Lutheran community in the United States) born in the house. The interior now features a large collection of furniture, clothing, personal and household items, particularly of the Passavant family, dating back to the early 1800s.
The simple 2 1/2-story, three-bay by two-bay, brick dwelling on a sandstone foundation was built in 1809, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. A two-story frame addition was added to the rear about 1820. A two-story bay window and porch were added in 1915.[3]
