Stop 22.  The Dr. Dartt House

BHCA Home | Virtual Tour Home | Center Town Map | Next Stop

This home at 251 N Allegheny Street, across the street from the Hastings Mansion and immediately south of the Episcopal Church (red door), was built for Dr. Robert L. Dartt (1853-1895), a prominent Bellefonte physician.  A plaque on the front says it was built in 1879.  Interior features include three fireplaces, butler's pantry, claw-foot tubs, antique chandeliers, built-in linen closets with glass doors, built-in china closets, stained glass windows, French-styled doors, and wooden interior shutters
     The house, as it stands today, is an amalgam of styles, like many in Bellefonte.  The eave brackets along the front and the tall windows suggest Italianate style, the tall roof and oher features are Gothic Revival, the tall tower Second Empire, and the wrap-around porch and overall appearance Queen Anne style.
