Acme is an unincorporated community in Donegal, Mount Pleasant and Bullskin townships in Pennsylvania, United States. The Acme ZIP code of 15610 extends well beyond the more densely populated part of the area, into rural parts of Donegal Township in Westmoreland County and Bullskin Township in Fayette County. == Geography == Acme is located in Donegal Township and Mount Pleasant Township, in southern Westmoreland County, and in Bullskin Township in the northeastern corner of Fayette County at 40°7′38″N 79°26′5″W (40.12731, -79.434929). The name "Acme" refers to the area's location atop Chestnut Ridge in the Allegheny Mountains. == Surrounding communities == Donegal (east) Stahlstown (northeast) Kecksburg (north) Laurelville (west) Saltlick Township (south) == History == Acme has always been an agricultural community; however, three attempts to develop resorts in the area have likely been inspired by its gateway position along the edge of the Laurel Highlands. === Treetops & Mountain Circles/Polymath Park === In 1962, architect Peter Berndtson developed a master plan for a 125-acre (0.51 km2) property named Treetops & Mountain Circles. Berndtson, an original apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed a network of twenty-four private houses, each within a 300-foot (91 m) diameter clearing in the woods. If completed, the clearings and their connecting roads would have depicted a bunch of grapes when viewed from the sky. Only two homes—those for developers Harry Blum and James Balter—were actually built. Forty-two years later, local homebuilder Thomas D. Papinchak deconstructed the Donald C. Duncan House in Lisle, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago) and relocated it to the Acme property.
