Most buildings date from about 1840 to 1930 and are two-story frame structures.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the district is locally significant under Criterion A for its role as the commercial hub of local agricultural and lumbering operations, and under Criterion C for its well-preserved concentration of 19th and early 20th century architecture, particularly Queen Anne and Italianate buildings. Many of the most notable buildings were the work of J. Morgan Brown, who erected at least seven buildings in the district between 1880 and 1905.","narrative":"Wyalusing is a borough of 186 mostly frame buildings on a low bluff above Wyalusing Creek in Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Most date between about 1840 and 1930, and the district holds Greek Revival, Italianate, Gothic Revival, Stick, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses alongside commercial blocks along Main Street. The town grew as a market point on the river road and later along the North Branch Canal, completed in 1856, and the Pennsylvania and New York Railroad, opened in 1867. Lumber and farm trade supported its stores, workshops and small industries. The district is valued for its concentration of late nineteenth and early twentieth century architecture, especially Queen Anne houses and commercial buildings by local hotelier and builder J. Morgan Brown, who erected at least seven buildings here between 1880 and 1905. The Dr. Scoville House at 113 Main Street, dating to about 1840, is among the earliest surviving buildings.","period_of_significance":"c. 1840-1930","architect_builder":"J.
