Montgomery Mansion was known by locals as the Gingerbread House.
This historic and ornate Victorian home is located in Claysville, PA, just 35 minutes from Pittsburgh.
It was built in the 1870s by Robert Porter. The Montgomery family lived here from the early 1900s until the 1970s. After that, the neighboring Sacred Heart Church owned it until the 1990s.
The beautiful house has been converted into a beautiful bed & breakfast, offering a comfortable night’s sleep and a delicious breakfast each morning.
The neighboring Sacred Heart Church later owned the Montgomery Mansion until the 1990s when the previous owners fully renovated and updated it.
Butch and Shirley Smith continue to maintain and enhance this historic home.
The 4,966 sqft house boasts a stunning parlor, a spacious living room, an elegant dining room, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms (3 full and 1 half).
