The 1st Floor

The Catlin House was built in 1912 for the prominent financier, banker, attorney, and philanthropist, George H. Catlin and his wife Helen. The house was bequeathed to the Lackawanna Historical Society in 1942, upon the death of Mrs. Catlin and according to the will of Mr. Catlin who had died in 1935.

This three-story sixteen room home was designed by architect Edward Langley as a English Tudor style residence. The rich interior of the house includes inlaid parquet floors of oak, molded plaster ceilings, black walnut woodwork and stained glass windows. On the first floor, period furniture and decor gives today's visitors a glimpse of life of early 20^th century life.

The front rooms of the first floor have been recreated in the house's original style and contains the special exhibits. Also on this floor is the bookstore and the reference library.
