Constructed between 1794 and 1809 of Pennsylvania stone, the Dunbar-Creigh House served as a residence, a legal and law office, an inn, and a stage coach stop. John Dunbar bought a 150-foot by 60-foot lot from borough founder Abraham Landis and first built a log structure behind the later stone house; that earlier building, now long dismantled, later housed a hand-made nail factory run by Joseph H. Kennedy. The present three-story stone building measures 28 feet by 30 feet, includes a 19th century summer kitchen, and retains wooden pegs in its framing, much original pine flooring, exposed stone around a large fireplace on the main floor, horsehair plaster on the upper stories, original six-paneled wooden doors with early trim, and the original banister and stairs from the second to the third floor. Between 1820 and 1827, when Landisburg was the county seat, the ground floor contained the Registrar and Recorder of Deeds office managed by Benjamin Leas and Jacob Fritz. Located two doors from the court house and operating as The Lawrence Inn, it also provided a coach stop and rooms for politicians and western travelers. In 1834, lawyer John Dunbar Creigh, the first attorney admitted to the bar in Perry County, bought the house from his mother, Eleanor Dunbar, daughter of the original owner. Since 1871, it has had multiple owners, many active in community and civic affairs, and in 1979 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as an outstanding early Pennsylvania stone building that had served multiple purposes for more than two centuries and reflected the architectural and construction skills of Landisburg's first generation.
