The Struthers Library Building
in Warren, Pennsylvania
|
| |
| The Struthers Library Building at the corner
of Liberty Street and Third Avenue was a gift to the community from Thomas
Struthers. An impressive Victorian structure with a tower at the
southeast corner, the large brick building was opened to the public in
1884. Used originally as a library, opera house and fraternal lodge,
the building has been put to many uses over the decades. It has in
recent years been renovated and serves today as a theater venue for a variety
of performances. |
| |
| Other attractions include the 1877 Second Empire
Warren County Courthouse, a magnificent example of institutional Victorian
architecture, and the Warren
County Historical Society housed in the Second Empire residence built
for Anna and George Wetmore by Anna’s father, Thomas Struthers, in 1873.
The house is at 210 Fourth Street and next to the courthouse. The
telephone number for the Historical Society is (814) 723-1795
About eight miles to the east of Warren on Route
59 lies the great Kinzua Dam and the Allegheny Reservoir, a spectacular
recreational area that extends north into New York. |
