Boal Mansion is a historic home located at Boalsburg, Harris Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. The original house was built in 1789, and was a simple 1 1/2 story stone house. It was incorporated as the kitchen and kitchen hall, when the house was expanded in 1798. This expansion is a two-story, stone house in the Georgian style. It measures 30 feet by 5 feet and has a side hall plan. The house was expanded again between 1898 and 1905, and introduced some Beaux-Arts style design. The main facade was expanded from three to five bays. Also on the property is the Columbus Family Memorial Chapel (1916), a hipped roof carriage house (1898), Boal barn and silo, a stone smoke house, and two outdoor fireplaces.[2] The house is open as a historic house museum.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
