Constructed in 1887 for attorney J. Monroe Shellenburger and his family, this elegant, spacious mansion was sold in 1891 and again in the early 1900s when it became a home for the deaf. Currently owned by the Salem Church, it is rumored to be a somewhat spooky place very late at night when strange, unearthly sounds beckon while the rest of the town sleeps. This quote is from Radius, Issue 035, Feb-Mar 2017, at p. 41, in an article by Marjorie Dorfman about the Pennsylvania Center for Photography, which is housed here.
