Calvin Bower House

The original owner of this home, a Bellefonte attorney, built the interior and exterior in Victorian Eastlake style, covering the inside with plenty of opulent carved wood and intricate detail. When the current owners purchased the home in 1996, even though the fine wood detailing had been mostly removed, they were thrilled to locate many of the original pieces including a fireplace mantle and surrounds, and parts of the original stairway, stored in the attic. Using the pieces they discovered as patterns, they were able to rebuild the original staircase and return the interior to its original glory.
