The Archibald Irwin House
On September 26, 2003, this property was nearly destroyed by fire. Located in the northwest corner in a two-story log house built in 1791-1792 by Archibald Irwin. Irwin's granddaughter Jane married William Henry Harrison, Jr., and served as First Lady when her father-in-law, William Henry Harrison, Sr., was elected 9th President of the United States. Irwin's granddaughter Elizabeth married John Scott Harrison and became the mother of Benjamin Harrison, who served as 23rd President of the United States. Also, renowned craftsmen of the 1800's lived here. Borough Council members are working hard to restore this important piece of local history. Members sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause residents or visitors.
Marker is at the intersection of S. Main Street and Seminary Street, on the left when traveling south on S. Main Street.
