Cocktail Party Doubles as Open House, Fundraiser for Mon Valley Initiative

The Turtle Creek Development Corporation and Mon Valley Initiative are excited to showcase the recent renovation of 533 James Street in Turtle Creek.

Built in 1952, the Atomic hillside ranch embodies the characteristics of contemporary mid-century architecture with such amenities as original St. Charles metal kitchen cabinets with rippled glass, reproduction boomerang Formica, period tile and light fixtures, and space age sensibilities.

The open house will be held on:
Saturday, April 14
6 p.m.
533 James Street in Turtle Creek

The evening will feature a cocktail reception with 1950’s era hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Tickets are $25 per person in advance and $30 at the door.

Nosh on Swedish meatballs, crab puffs, and other delectable items, sip a Tom Collins, and take in the architectural style of this 1950’s contemporary.

Who New, Retro Mod Décor from the 1950's, 60's, and 70's, located at 5156 Butler Street in Lawrenceville is providing the décor for the event, and all pieces on display will be available for purchase.

Crystal Gomez, El Gato Gomez Arts, is providing time period paintings for the event. Her paintings are inspired by graphic designs of the 50’s and 60’s. Crystal resides in Turtle Creek.

MVI is a non-profit coalition of 10 Community Development Corporations working together to unite the communities and restore the economic vitality of the Mon Valley. Representatives from the real estate and outreach teams will be available during the open house to answer questions about the project.
