The oldest continuously working inn in Pennsylvania, the historic William Penn Inn, remains closed indefinitely after an Oct. 8 fire.
The Eastern Montgomery County venue has been a popular upscale dining destination for years as well as a go-to choice for wedding receptions and banquets
The Lower Gwynedd Township inn, situated at DeKalb Pike (Route 202) and Sumneytown Pike, was originally built in 1714.
"To our loyal guests, we are saddened to inform you that the Inn has suffered a fire and will be temporarily closed," the establishment said in a statement. "The timeline for repairs is uncertain, however we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and deeply appreciate your patience and support."
The fire began Friday morning around
10 a.m. Officials identified the start of the fire in the kitchen and it spread to the roof.
"We are actively reaching out to those with reservations, tours, overnight stays, orders and events booked in the coming weeks, but please anticipate delays due to high call and email volumes with limited staff," the inn said.
