Trout Hall, now a museum, was built in the late 1760s as a summer home for William Allen's son. William Allen was the man who started the town. It is now home to a library and museum run by the local historical society. It has things from the American Revolutionary War in its collection. People who are interested in history should go there.
A living history museum exhibit is also in the area's First Baptist Church, which is also home to the museum. During their fights with native tribes, settlers would hide in this building. During the Revolutionary War, it was used as a hospital. It is still where the community gets together, and church services are held every week. There is also a full-size copy of the Liberty Bell.
The Old Mill in Allentown, Pennsylvania, opened in 1713, and the Underground Railroad often stopped there. It was made by Peuckert & Wunder, an architecture firm. It was built in a much more complicated way than most industrial buildings of the time. Even though the brewery closed in 1968, it is still a historic site. Since then, it has been fixed up and has craft shops, restaurants, and art galleries. Several shops sell things like vintage decorations and new-age goods.
The Ebbeke Hardware Store was on the first floor. It sold sports gear and other kinds of hardware. On the upper floors, there were offices for professionals. The Crystal Restaurant was called the Crystal Theater back in the 1920s. The theater was one of the first in the Allentown area to have air conditioning. It had 900 seats. A fire shut down the theater in 1955. The building was then turned into Salomon Jewelers.
Homeopathy was first used in Germany, but Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, who made homeopathic medicines, brought it to the United States. A few years later, Dr. William Wesselhoeft opened a school for homeopathy in Bath. It later became known as Allentown Academy. This school did well until 1843, when it was discovered that the money had been stolen by banker John Rice. The school was then moved to Philadelphia. After this change, the Hahnemann University Hospital was built.
Breinig and Bachman was a store for men's clothes that had been open for over 100 years. It has animal heads made of terracotta on the outside. It was also where George W. Eckert kept his large granary. The building is now home to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., but the floors above are still empty.
