The Pocono Manor Historic District is a national historic district that is located in Pocono Township and Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
This district encompasses seventy-five contributing buildings, one contributing site, four contributing structures, and four contributing objects that are located on the grounds of the historic Pocono Manor resort.[2][3]
History
This resort community was established in 1902, and includes an inn, recreational complex, and a dependent cottage community. The cottage community, which was originally developed by Quakers, reflects popular early twentieth-century architectural styles, including Stick/Eastlake, Shingle Style, and Bungalow/American Craftsman.[4]
The Pocono Manor Inn was built in nine sections between 1902 and 1949.[4] The seven earliest sections, which were built between 1902 and 1926, were designed by noted Philadelphia architect Walter Smedley.[5]
This historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1][6][7]
The Inn at Pocono Manor burned down, following a wind driven fire around 6:30am on November 2, 2019. The exact cause of the fire is unknown.[8]
