Bush House

Post by ZappasXWife »

Someone here at work said the Bush House in Bellefonte is burning down! Of course 'burning down' could really mean a small fire under control. Those who know, discuss....

Oh my gosh I just saw pics from someones camera...it IS gutted, it looks like only part of the front outside wall with that big B on it is still standing. What a shame, a really cool place. GREAT German beer and food and I'm sure a historical landmark.

That's awful. It would be tough to restore and Ken worked so hard to get Schnitzels going...I remember when he quit bartending at the Brewery to start that place. What a shame.

Nope, saw the noon news, it looks like there's very little left. Completely destroyed, and very sad.----->JMS

For those of you who never got to experience the Bush House, schnitzels tavern, or Daniels it was built in 1868 by Daniel Bush was the main hotel in centre county llocated across the street from the talleyrand park and train station. Bellefonte has lost and pennsylvania have lost a very important historical landmark

That was one heck of a fire to consume such a structure and is a shame. :(

That fire knocked out our fiber optic cable with main campus, so I didn't have network access the whole day while I was at school. I'm the IT guy at school too, so with the exception of ghosting a machine, I had a pretty boring day.
