Located on historic Race Street in the heart of Jim Thorpe, you’ll enjoy the comfortable elegance of the circa 1870 Times House, just steps away from shops, restaurants, galleries and more.

Constructed of brick at a time when it was the more prestigious choice of material, Asa Packer, industrialist and founder of Lehigh University had the property built for his sons Harry and Robert in between St. Mark’s Church and Stone Row.

Over the course of its history, the Times House has seen many owners and many incarnations.

From 1927 to 1967, the building served as the home of the Times-News, during which its longtime editor Joe Boyle started the nickel-a-week campaign that ultimately brought Jim Thorpe’s body and name to the towns of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk.

Restaurants, shops and even a coffee beanery operated from the building – now apartments – which Chris and Diane Prokop are transforming into handsome tourist suites so that you might enjoy your times at Jim Thorpe as much as they do.
