User:Mboeckel/Linden Hall Historic District

The Linden Hall Historic District is located in Linden Hall, Harris Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The district incorporates the historic village of Linden Hall, which dates from the late 1700s. The town originally developed as a mill site along Cedar Run. Though never very large, Linden Hall reached its greatest extent around the turn of the century. A train station was added to the village when the railroad was extended through the valley in 1885.

Today these early commercial enterprises are gone, robbing Linden Hall of a central focus and leaving gaps among the homes that remain. Major buildings include the Rock Hill School, the Evangelical Methodist Church, and the Irvin residence. Homes are principally Victorian in style and are of frame construction. Although some are only one store in height, most range from two to two in and a half stories.
