History and architectural features

Built between 1863 and 1864, this historic structure is a vernacular, Greek Revival-style frame dwelling that consists of a two-story front section with a one-story rear ell. It has a gable roof and a full-length front porch with a shed roof, and was the home of nineteenth-century gospel music composer Phillip Paul Bliss (1838-1876).

In 1965, the house was opened as the Philip P. Bliss Gospel Songwriters Museum.{{cite web| url = https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/ce/SelectWelcome.asp| title = National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania| publisher = CRGIS: Cultural Resources Geographic Information System| format = Searchable database}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url = {{NRHP-PA|H067780_01H.pdf}}| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Phillip Paul Bliss House| accessdate = 2012-01-02| author = George L.
