The 2nd 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 through Mr. Catlin's will upon the death of his wife.

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. Period furniture and decor gives today's visitors a glimpse of life at the turn of the century.

The second floor of the Catlin House contained two master bedrooms separated by a dressing room and two guest rooms. Bathrooms were included in three of the four rooms. The servants' quarters were located in the rear of the house with a porch and stairwell. Today, these rooms are used as exhibit space for the Society's collections relating to County history.
