RARE COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY WITH PRICE IMPROVEMENT! 15 S MAIN STREET NEW HOPE PA
Built 1873–74 as New Hope Methodist Episcopal Church (later United Methodist), this stone Gothic building by James Bird with masonry by Peter S. Naylor sits between the Logan Inn and the Crook home (now the Mansion Inn). Erected on land bought for $600 and valued at $14,000 at completion, its sandstone façade, soaring ceilings, and stained glass made it an immediate architectural treasure. Replacing an earlier wood-frame Methodist building, it served New Hope’s Methodist community for 125 years; the final service was in 1999 and the cemetery still adjoins the municipal lot.
After closing as a church it became Marsha Brown’s Creole fine-dining for nearly two decades until COVID. In 2021 it reopened as Oldestone Steakhouse, honoring the building with USDA Prime steaks, seafood, craft cocktails, and many original features: stained glass, repurposed pews, a 30-foot mural Redemption by Valeriy Belenikin, chandeliers seen in John Wick 3, and a speakeasy-style jazz lounge on the third floor.
New Hope’s history spans 10,000 years of Lenni-Lenape settlement. William Penn’s 18th-century land sales led to Coryell’s Ferry, a key Old York Road crossing. George Washington lodged here before crossing the Delaware in 1776 and later ordered the ferry destroyed. The town endured the Revolutionary War, grew with the 1832 Delaware Canal, and was incorporated as New Hope in 1837.
