A Cameron County Landmark
The listing opens by calling the building a Cameron County historical landmark. It doesn’t spell out what the building was originally used for, so we’ll leave that question to the locals. What it does say is that the place has history and room to spare.

- Described as a Cameron County historical landmark
Rooms, Auditorium, and Gym
The description lists more than 20 rooms, plus an auditorium and a gymnasium. There are also “several sets of restrooms.” Zillow’s data shows 6 half baths and no bedrooms, so this is not set up as a house in the usual sense.
The listing gives no floor plan and no room dimensions. Anyone serious will want to walk it and see how the spaces connect.
- 32,469 square feet
- 20+ rooms
- Auditorium
- Gymnasium
- Several sets of restrooms (6 half baths per Zillow)
Heat and Utilities
Heating is listed as natural gas hot water. The listing doesn’t mention cooling, and the data lists none. With this much square footage, utility costs are worth asking about early.

The lot is 0.94 acres, in town. The listing mentions a parking lot, though the data shows no garage and no assigned parking spaces.

It’s rare to see 32,000+ square feet, an auditorium, and a gym for under $100,000. Whoever it suits will need a plan for the space, and a budget for heating it. This one has gone pending, but it’s a good look at what’s out there in small-town Pennsylvania.
