Description

Own a piece of Pennsylvania history with this landmark historic former St. Stephens Church. This early 20th century former church blends Mission-style, Gothic Revival, and Romanesque architectural motifs creating a unique and impressive facade. Designed by renowned architect William P. Ginther it was built in 1906 of Berea stone and dedicated in December 1907. Occupying a prominent corner lot in the heart of Oil City, this architectural gem features soaring vaulted ceilings, original stained glass, and serene river views. The church is 125 feet in depth with a width of 61 feet and the trancept is 70 feet wide. The expansive interior offers immense potential for adaptive reuse, complemented by a large private parking lot and a full basement equipped with a banquet room and a commercial kitchen. While the building requires renovation and attention, it boasts an original slate roof and a newer boiler system, providing a solid foundation for restoration. The large lot provides ample off-street parking and the building is across the bridge from a future hotel site. Oil Creek State Park and Allegheny National Forest are nearby, the Erie to Pittsburgh Trail runs through town for cycling enthusiasts, and the local waterways (Allegheny River, Oil Creek) provide recreational opportunities from water skiing and kayaking to swimming and fishing. Whether you envision a unique residential conversion, wedding venue or a vibrant community hub, this is a rare opportunity to re-envision a historic treasure and contribute to the revitalization of Oil City. The sacred objects will be removed prior to the sale, and there is a deed restriction prohibiting a sale for "sordid or profane use."
