Longtime Newtown Township Eyesore Sporting Fresh, New Look

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — A building at 159 North Sycamore Street is sporting a fresh new look after years of neglectful maintenance.

The new owners - Sails Up 159 LLC - have given the building at the highly visible intersection of Sycamore and Jefferson a fresh new coat of paint - its first since 2016.

The township has also granted the new owners a certificate of appropriateness to paint its doors Buckstone blue in keeping with the township's historic district which encompasses much of Sycamore Street.

“My intent is to put it up for lease and to find a good tenant who will use the building appropriately,” the building’s owner told the supervisors. “We’re trying to do right by the building. It’s a great building.”
