George R. Scull House. Circa 1917. This Colonial Revival style home was built around 1917 for George R. Scull, son of Edward Scull, publisher of the Somerset Herald who owned the property adjacent to the site. Edward had his home moved westward to allow his son to construct this dwelling on the corner lot. George is remembered as an attorney and editor of the Herald. He was also president of Somerset Trust and the First National Bank of Somerset. The Sculls were a prominent family who arrived on the second boat to Penn’s Colony. George’s son, Nicolas Scull, is credited with creating most maps of Pennsylvania pre-dating the Mason Dixon survey of 1760s.
