234 State Street

Harrisburg, PA 17101

The historic Awl House is located at 234 State Street in downtown Harrisburg, a prestigious address overlooking the front steps of the Pennsylvania State Capitol.

The Awl House was built and inhabited by descendants of Jacob Awl, one of the early settlers and a relative of John Harris. This three-story, masonry building dates to ca. 1876 and is in the Italianate style. Its distinctive features include a prominent bay window at the front facade, a prominent cornice, rhythmically spaced double-hung windows, and unembellished window sills and lintels. In the early 20th c. it was converted into office space, which remains its present use.
