    3. There's a three part architectura; series of brochures put out byBucknell University, the Lewisburg Business and Professional Association, and the Union County Historical Society focusing on particular periods in the county's history when the greatestconcentration of new buildings was constructed in particular towns. They're titled (1)New Berlin/ the Early Years 1800-1855; (2) Lewisburg/ The Middle Years 1840-1880; and Mifflinburg/ The Late Years 1865-1900. What they have to say in the Lewisburg brochure about the Kline Hotel is this "136 Market Street: First known as Kline's Hotel in the 1830's, the Mount Vernon=type portico was added in 1938. Between 1831-1900 every Pennsylvania Governor slept here". Roy Kline, Jr. Bob & Jerri Saunders wrote: > > Can anybody on the list provide details about Kline's Hotel in Lewisburg?
