History
Abounds
The Inn has a long,
distinguished history stretching back to 1834, when it began
life as a Federal-style stone mansion for Ebensburg residents
Philip and Ellen Noon. Philip was an Associate Judge of
Cambria County. His son maintained his law office in the Brown
Room of the mansion.
In 1860, the Noon's daughter, Margaret, inherited the
home. Her husband, Philip Collins, and his brothers received
international acclaim as builders of railroads. Throughout the
years, the building has served as the Ebensburg Y.M.C.A. and
the town's community center. The World War I Draft Board
occupied the Parlor. The local high school used the Auditorium
as its gymnasium. Gene Kelly ran a dance studio in the 1930's.
The Young Peoples Community Center operated from the building
until the late 1970's, offering recreation for local teens.
The Noon Collins is a
