Summary

Significance: This two-story brick residence is significant for its ownership by two important figures in Alexandria's history; state Senator Harry McAteer, a lawyer who introduced the first telephone line to Alexandria, and Dr. Daniel Houtz, a physician and community leader who accumulated his wealth from timber in Centre County. The formal, Federal-style residence is closely associated with the nearby utilitarian building, Dr. Houtz Office.
