The Tyrone Borough Historic District
contains a wide sampling of 19th century and early 20th
century revival styles. Most buildings were erected between 1850
and 1930. The buildings of the 1850’s were largely wooden and of
inexpensive construction. The 1880 fire that wiped out most of the
western side of Pennsylvania Avenue from Herald Street and up the
northern side of 10th Street resulted in most buildings
being replaced with brick and stone structures. The two-part commercial
block displays carry over of an earlier period where the lower floor
is used as a shop and the upper floors used for private functions
such as apartments, offices, and social halls.
