HISTORY
The beautifully restored Federal style building
was originally built at the near mid-city Walnut
Street site in 1928 by the Woman's Club of Allentown
as a gracious meeting place adjacent to the old
Tolley car lines.
In 1991, the building was purchased by the Bar Association of Lehigh County, underwent extensive renovations to meet modern building safety and service requirements, and was restored to its original grandeur.
Today, the building houses the Bar Association offices, including those of the Lehigh Law Journal and the Lawyer Referral Service.
