Beallsville Historic District is a 40-acre (16 ha) historic district in Ellsworth, Pennsylvania. The district covers a "typical pike town" of the National Road through this area, meeting criteria laid out in a Multiple Property Submission study.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1] In 1996, there were 91 contributing buildings, 1 other contributing site (the Beallsville Cemetery), 1 other contributing object (a c.1835 National Road iron milestone marker), and 29 non-contributing buildings, in the district.[3]
In the western part of the district the buildings are largely vernacular with Greek Revival or Federal architectural influences showing in many, from the National Road era of 1818-1852. The eastern part of the district includes larger Italianate and Queen Anne style houses from later in the 1800s.[3]: 5
Significant properties in the district include:
- 984 Maiden Street, the oldest building in the district, a log building from 1788 that was home of town founder Zephaniah Beall[3]: 6
- the 1821 Greenfield Stand, a.k.a. Greenfield Tavern, at 2848 Maiden Street[3]: 6
- the John Hough House, at 2852 Main Street, an "unassuming" house of a tollkeeper on the road[3]: 6
- Beallsville Methodist-Episcopal Church, from 1874[3]: 7
