The Lewisburg Hotel is a hotel in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Standing on the northern side of Market Street, at its intersection with North Second Street, it was built in 1834.[1][2] It closed in 1992, but was renovated and reopened in 1997.[3]
It was the home of Stephen William Taylor, the first president of the University at Lewisburg (now named Bucknell University), when it was known as the Kline Hotel.[4] It became known as Cameron House in 1874, a name which remained for over sixty years. Its bar and lounge is still named for Cameron.[3] William Cameron was an early benefactor of Lewisburg.[5]
In 1938, the hotel was owned by Grenoble Hotels, Inc.[6]
In 1995, the hotel was purchased by Norm and Nancy Buck, who renovated the premises over a two-year period.[3]
