Property details
About 72-74 W Market St
The Bethlehem Star On one of Historic Bethlehem’s most admired streets, just a half block up from Main Street, this 1835/45 historic, brick home was built prominently between a 1700’s wheelwright shop and a general store. The property was home, for over 150 years, to both Moravian Church offices and Saucon Mutual Insurance. Over that time, property records were housed in a vault on the first floor of 74 W. Market. Saucon Mutual Insurance (est. 1832) provided insurance for the early Moravian community property owners. The two top floors served as a private residence, a unique enhancement for the time. For the last 25 years it has housed offices for a financial services company. Located in Bethlehem’s Central Business District, in charming Historic Bethlehem, this property offers a great opportunity to invest in a highly visible and high volume location. Dual front entrances and an intriguing floor plan provide flexibility for your future design. Potential uses should be investigated with the City of Bethlehem. This historic building boasts 9’-10’ ceilings and period appointments, a nod to a stunning legacy. From the top floors there are wonderful views of the Moravian Church Belfry and the Star of Bethlehem.
