Saltsburg, where the Kiskiminetas River begins, is a sleepy little treasure-trove of architecture from Federal Style to Bank Classical. Much of the town is a National Historic District. This unassuming frame house is probably close to two hundred years old, dated “c. 1828–1835 (pre-1855)” in the National Register of Historic Places registration form for the Saltsburg Historic District, which describes it thus: “2 story, 5 bay original PA vernacular L-plan frame dwelling with wood siding, gable roof. Federal details including central door with sidelights and fanlight, and 2 bay wood porch.”
