Augustus Wolle, the prominent industrialist who founded the Saucona Iron Company, built this fine home in 1863. His company ultimately evolved into Bethlehem Steel, and the Wolle House remains worthy of a titan of industry.  

Crafted in the Federal Style, the home retains many historic features -- while later renovations enhance the beauty and functionality of the residence. The first floor sets a welcoming tone with a steamboat front porch, well-sized foyer, a distinctive living room, a wonderful parlor, stately office, impressive dining room, and cheerful kitchen. Friends and guests will enjoy ample light, a gracious flow for entertainment, and numerous points of access to a charming courtyard. The greenhouse with its southern exposure provides bright joy. The second floor, rich with hardwood planking, offers four sun-filled bedrooms and exceptional ceiling height. The attic, transformed with a stunning dormer, now presents a most special bedroom complete with built in cabinetry and a cedar closet. Outdoors, a covered porch hearkens to neighborly times, while the private sun-dappled courtyard, surrounded by plantings, invites you into the fresh air.

This substantial, circa 1863, five-bedroom home offers a superb location in historic Bethlehem and blends original features with careful updates.
