Description:
It is fitting that the Clearfield County Historical Society's Museum should be housed in a building that in itself has roots reaching back into more than 135 years of Clearfield County history.
Names prominent in the county's history--- Reed, Bigler, Kerr--- owned the land on which the building is located or lived in the stately structure that provides one of our county's strongest links between the past and the present. The building itself is typical of the architecture of the mid-Victorian period of the late 1870's and 1880's --- a brick country mansion of enormous box shape, having ornamental horizontal molding located near the top and crowned with a light tower or cupola. The land on which the museum building is located at East Pine Street and North Front Street was originally part of a larger tract owned by A. B. Reed, a descendant of one of the early settlers of the county and, judging by his writings that are still available, a man interested in the history of Clearfield.
