Copper Beech Manor is a historic building in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania that is now a residential home.
History
The home was built in 1857 by a Jonathan Nesbit, a prominent builder in the growing community of Lewisburg.[1] In 1861 Jonathan Nesbit added an addition to the third floor which was believed to be part of the Underground Railroad because of the crawl space above the bedroom where runaways would have hid.[2] He designed the Greek Revival home after he constructed the First Presbyterian Church in 1856, which still resides in Lewisburg.[3] Nesbit is also known for constructing the Lutheran church and a number of other buildings in the town.[4] Because of these prominent buildings and master architecture the town of Lewisburg was inducted into the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, known as the Lewisburg Historic District.[5][6] The Copper Beech Manor is located right in the center of the district on Market Street.
