Historic Christian Oyer House c.1830
A piece of heaven in rural Pennsylvania.
Hidden in a peaceful, private rural enclave, near large areas of state forests, parks and famous fishing and hunting areas, this unique house on 1.8 acres is within an easy drive of a major university and the cultural assets it affords. Every effort has been made to restore this house with a restrained hand and a "less is more" philosophy in close conversation with the National Register to be sure its architectural integrity was carefully respected.
The interior is in an unusually fine state of preservation, with original baseboards, chair rails, chimney cabinets, and hardware, including period box locks and door latches. But it is the quality "and the superb original condition of a large amount of decorative painting found throughout the house"* which makes it unique in this area. All the doors facing the first and second floor halls are trompe l'oeil versions of exotic woods as are all the chimney cabinets. The baseboards in each major room exhibit various simulated marble patterns. In the back parlor, under layers of old wall paper, was discovered rows of stenciling, from floor to ceiling, in various states of preservation.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Oyer House is located approximately 20 minutes from State College and Penn State University in a beautiful rural setting on 2+/- acres.
