Built in 1904, this historic structure is a four-story brick building that sits on a sandstone foundation. It measures sixty-four feet wide by seventy feet deep, has a U-shaped plan, and was designed in the Colonial Revival style. The architect is believed to be Charles E. Cassell. It features a broad front porch, balcony, and dropped cornice between the third and fourth floors, and was home to the Pennsylvania Maple Festival starting in 1948.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1] It was demolished in September 2020.[3][4]
