About this property

The Mercantile Studio: Antique Transoms & Reserved Parking

The Space
Located on the ground floor of a 19th-century building, this suite retains its original architectural character, from the antique transom windows to the original cast iron radiators. We have meticulously preserved the 1901 soul of this former mercantile building to provide an authentic Jim Thorpe experience that blends historical integrity with modern standards.

The Historical Experience
Original Details: The space features 10-foot ceilings and original wood pillars that reflect the building's industrial roots. This is a genuine 125-year-old building with character and "soul," offering a unique alternative to a standard hotel room.

The East Side Advantage: We are located roughly 1 mile from the scenic train station. By staying on the quiet East Side, you avoid the Broadway noise and congestion. Your stay includes a guaranteed, private off-street parking spot.

Historic Charm, Modern Amenities
Premium Features: While we honor the past, we provide modern comforts, including a color-changing fireplace and our premium Sonos sound system(exclusive to this unit). This space offers a washer and dryer.

Outdoor Living: Enjoy your coffee on the deck and a BBQ grill, situated just 2.4 miles from the entrance to Lehigh Gorge State Park.
