The Penn's Park General Store Complex, also known as the Gaines Property, is an historic, American commercial complex that is located in Penn's Park, Wrightstown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Situated south of the Penns Park Historic District, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
This complex consists of three primary buildings: a farmhouse, store building, and a frame bank barn, along with six outbuildings. The farmhouse was built in 1810, and is a two-and-one-half-story, six-bay, rectangular, fieldstone building that was designed in the Georgian style. The store building was built in 1836, and is a three-story, three-bay by three-bay, fieldstone building. The outbuildings consist of a storage shed, wagon building, chicken house, livestock barn, woodshed, and outhouse. The store housed a post office until 1971.[1]
