A colorful addition to the Victorian eclecticism of Bellefonte's High Street, this Ruskinian Gothic building displays brick quoins, a heavy brownstone foundation, decorative polychrome brick window lintels, and a projecting corner turret. A pair of corbeled chimneys rises through the dormers on the third story, adding to the building's eccentricity. George Tate established himself in Bellefonte by replacing most of the county courthouse and adding the portico (
CE1).
