Slifer House, also known as the Administration Building-Evangelical Home, was a historic home in Kelly Township, Pennsylvania, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
History and architectural features
Designed by noted Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan, this historic structure was built in 1861 as a country home for Lewisburg merchant Eli Slifer (1818–1888). It has a 2+1⁄2-story, brick, square main section, with two rectangular rear wings. The main section has a hipped roof with cross gables and was designed in a Victorian style. It features wraparound and two-story porches and a four-story square tower, and has housed elder care facilities since 1916, when it was purchased by the Evangelical Association.[2]
This house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975,[1] and is now owned by Albright Care Services, which operated it as a Victorian-era historic house museum until the museum's closure in 2022. It featured artifacts from its use over the years as a home for seniors, orphanage and community hospital. The house was demolished in 2026.
