History and architectural features

edit

Built circa 1817, this historic structure is a one-story, square, sandstone building. It measures twenty-five feet square and has a gable roof. A two-story, rear stone addition was added circa 1935.

This structure was built as a bank and was in use as such until 1819. Afterwards, it was used as a school, Methodist church, store, post office, pool room, fruit stand, restaurant, and medical office. It now houses a museum that is operated by the Perryopolis Area Heritage Society.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
