It was built in about 1817, and is a one-story, square sandstone building. It measures 25 feet square and has a gable roof. A two-story, rear stone addition was added in about 1935. It was built as a bank and 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 operated by the Perryopolis Area Heritage Society.[2]
