Penn's Cave House in Centre Hall Pennsylvania

Penn's Cave House in Centre Hall Pennsylvania
The Penns Cave House, formerly known as the Penn's Cave Hotel sits right on the Penn's Cave and Wildlife Park property in Centre Hall Pennsylvania.

The original hotel was constructed by Daniel F. Luse of Centre Hall for Jesse and Samuel Long. The structure is classified on the National Register of Historic Places as "A Fine Example of Late Nineteenth Century Rural Pennsylvania Architecture."

The overnight guests were accommodated until 1919 and meals were served until 1929. The exterior has had minor alterations and the interior, although altered on the first and second floors, has the distinction of having the entire third floor unaltered.
