Coudersport Historic District

The Coudersport Historic District is a historic district in Coudersport, the county seat of Potter County, Pennsylvania in the United States. The district encompasses 73 contributing buildings. Coudersport is in a narrow valley on the Allegheny River and was a boom town when the lumber industry cut the white pine and hemlock forests in the county. Much of the borough's Victorian era architecture stems from this time, and when the lumber was exhausted by the early 20th century, the borough declined in population and economically, preserving many of the historic structures. The district is centered on the Courthouse Square and notable buildings include the Park United Methodist Church (1893), Presbyterian Church (1902), Episcopal Church (1883), Old Hickory Tavern, and Coudersport Consistory complex.[2]
