Kirby Memorial Health Center - Wilkes-Barre, PA

Designed by T.H. Atherton, to last 300 years, the main building’s exterior is Bethel White granite with a distinctive blue Ludowici tile roof. Interiors are richly finished with tile, wrought iron, plaster, oak and terra cotta. Annex 1 was originally a home designed for Priscilla Lee Bennett by the famous Philadelphia architect, Bruce Price, in 1883, in the Queen Anne Revival Style. Annex 2 is more than 100 years old and was formerly the parsonage of the First United Methodist Church.

The third phase of a major exterior restoration was completed in 2009 that included rebuilding chimney and parapet walls, replacing through-wall flashing, repointing all mortar joints, masonry cleaning, rebuilding built-in copper gutters, restoring exterior bronze light fixtures, replacing wood dormer windows, Ludowici tile roof, and low-slope membrane roofing.
