Notes
  • Written data includes site plan.
  • Significance: The Ross Leffler Training School Complex is comprised of two buildings; the school building and classroom building. The school building, constructed in 1909-1910, was originally a hunting lodge and summer residence of Meredith A. Marshall, a Pittsburgh attorney. In 1929, the building and 925 acres of surrounding land were purchased by the Pennsylvania Game Commission to be used as a conservation officer training school, the first of its kind in the United States. Improvements were made to the building and in 1932 it was dedicated and served as a part-time in-service training facility for Pennsylvania Game Commission Panel personnel. In 1936, the school became a full-time training facility with the induction of 36 conservation officer candidates on July 7, 1936, 27 of which successfully completed the course and graduated on March 15, 1937. A classroom building was constructed in 1941 to expand the training capabilities of the facility. The complex served as a full-time training facility until February 8, 1986 when 25 conservation officers graduated. A total of 427 conservation officers were graduated from the complex.
