Russell House, also known as the Pate Funeral Home, is an historic, American home that is located in Bedford in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Built between 1815 and 1816, this historic structure is a -story, five-bay by three-bay, brick dwelling that was designed in the late-Georgian style. A two-story rear ell was added sometime between 1840 and 1845. The tin-covered gable roof has three gable-roof, frame dormers.[2]
Solomon Filler was hired to design and build the house.[2]
The Russell House was purchased in May 2017 by the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce, with plans to create a Business & Education Center to serve the Bedford County region. When renovated, the building is expected to house as many as twenty-four new businesses in accelerator and shared-workspace operations. Additional features will include: community art exhibits, historical displays, a community meeting space, a heritage garden, and a veranda adjacent to Veterans Grove.[3]
