About Hillard House
Built in the mid 19th century, Hillard House is a stately brick home located on Wilkes University campus area of downtown Wilkes-Barre. It remained in the Hillard family for over 100 years, escaping the perils of remodeling and modernization, and then passed into the ownership of new families who lovingly maintained and updated the house. Thus Hillard House still retains its original windows and sash,interior shutters, hardware, wood flooring, and plasterwork.
Hillard House has three stories of living space, all accessible from the open stairway in the entry foyer and hallway. The first floor consists of the Music Room, Small Parlor, Study, and formal Dining Room. Second floor houses the Gold Room,the Rose Room,and the Duchess Suite. The third floor has a library area and the Blue Room. Outside there are generous front and rear yards with seasonal gardens.
The antebellum-style front porch is spacious and breezy, shaded by century old native rhododendron. Tables, cushioned chairs, and a porch swing make it a favorite place to sit back and relax. A private driveway leads to the rear yard where off-street parking is available for our guests.
