Description:

The Cashier's House recently underwent extensive restoration, courtesy of the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission. Stucco was removed and brick was strengthened, Stucco was replaced and the building was repainted with authentic colors determined by extensive research and study of different paint layers. Some window frames and panes have been replaced.

Interior restoration work has provided a transformation. Warm yellows, cool greens and pineapple tints now greet the visitor, as he or she tours the first floor. Although evidence supports hand-graining all of the interior window trim, due to fiscal realities, one door was selected to provide a sample of this technique which mimics richer toned, more expensive woods. The second and third floors were also restored. Bedrooms on the second floor are open for visitors to view.
