Stately Federal Era Historic Brick House
91-95 King St, Northumberland, PA, 17857, USA, 5721 sq. ft., 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms . Seller's Description: The stately buildings on the corner of Front & King Streets have borne silent witness to history since the turn of the 18th century. Built of brick, they have maintained their vigil since the presidency of John Adams. In 1812 their occupants learned that the British had invaded and set fire to the White House in the nation's capital. In 1861 the inhabitants within learned that the Civil War had begun and in April of 1865 that President Lincoln had been assassinated. They would stand through many historical events and the families dwelling within saw history unfold for well over two hundred years.<br />

Now another owner can be part of this legacy as the current owners are ready to pass their stewardship into new hands.<br />

Once a bed & breakfast in the early nineties, these buildings (joined as one but can easily be separated) are located in the commercial district and can be used for business purposes if desired. They contain a total of 18 rooms and 13 fireplaces. They boast original hardwood floors, windows and doors as well as woodwork. If one is seeking a period house and respects architectural originality, one would be hard pressed to find another example easily.<br />
