Hanna-Duffield Block & Lamberton Block - 301-315 Thirteenth St.

In 1866 John L. Hanna built the first three-story building in Venango County. Over the years it housed the Odd Fellows' Hall, Wilt Brothers photography studio, Venango Spectator (newspaper), an opera hall and the band room for the Silver Cornet Band.

In 1886 a devastating fire consumed a good portion of this building along with priceless historical photographs, news archives and band equipment. The walls along Elk Street were undamaged and that section was rebuilt to its original three stories. The right hand portion of this Italianate block was reduced to two stories. During the last phase of construction R. G. Lamberton, a lawyer and banker, purchased the building and added the capstone bearing his name. Enhancing this facade are the alternating wings flanking the arched, oval and bay windows.
