Date Built 1897. Original Use: the original portion of the house was a Lumber Office that was moved to the site from Linden Hall. It measured 12 feet by 12 feet and served as a kitchen with a half story sleeping loft above. The structure sat on six stone piles for support. S.M. Bell built a small tin foundry on the eastern side of the structure. Bell used the shop for a brief period of time, due to his untimely death. Items of note: a single pen house enlarged frontward, upward, and rearward over a period of 100 years. In 1890, the property sold at public auction for $180 to the Boalsburg Lodge (I.O.O.F. 894). The Lodge sold the property to S.M. Bell in 1897 . Mr. Bell also owned the property next door, known as the Wolf Tavern which he purchased around 1894. Around 1900, a foundation was dug and a living room and a full second floor were added to the front of the original structure. The sleeping loft area was enlarged to a full story. In 1954, a small lean- to room was added to the back. A two story addition was built in 2004.
