History & local legend
Seton Hill University's Administration Building in Greensburg was once part of Saint Joseph Academy for Girls. Students arriving by train brought large trunks, and local farmers helped carry them to rooms as high as the sixth floor. The basement's old Maura Trunk Room preserves that aspect of campus life.
During a 2015 lantern tour, archivist Bill Black told visitors that investigators believed one of the men who hauled luggage had remained there. A recording from the basement reportedly contained a male voice saying, 'Get the hell out.'
