History and architectural features
This district includes 349 contributing buildings and two contributing structures that are located in the central business district and surrounding residential areas of Tyrone. The earliest buildings date to the 1850s, when the community was expanded as a junction town for the Pennsylvania Railroad. The buildings are primarily frame and brick, with notable examples of Late Victorian-style architecture.
Notable non-residential buildings include the Garman Building (1890), the Hiller Building (1892), the I.O.O.F Building, the Jones Building (1906), the White House Bed and Breakfast (1855), and St. Matthews Catholic Church (1880).
