ABOUT ARTHUR
Arthur Armour - From the beginning, Arthur sought to glorify God though his craft. He had a love for the harmony of practicality and beauty. Arthur studied architecture at Carnegie Tech where he fostered his passion for design, and after graduating, began work at the famous Wendell August Forge creating hammered aluminum giftware. Amid the depression, Arthur began his own business in Grove City, PA, designing and producing hammered aluminum pieces which are still sought after to this day.
​
In addition to being an accomplished aluminum smith, Arthur applied his experience in architecture designing and building what the Armour family refers to as The Cabin. He and his wife Marian, cut this recreational work, deep in a beautiful hemlock valley where the cabin overlooks a rushing mountain stream and gorgeous waterfall.
Other architectural works include the "Stag and Doe", the "12 Apostles" as well as significant modifications to Arthur and Marian's 60 year home on Washington Boulevard where they raised thier four children.
