It was "George's Place" and it burned. They knocked it down because of safety reasons. The lady that owned it had no insurance and the property was in foreclosure. Now Cressona is stuck with the tab of cleaning it up. But they have no money in the budget to do it. And since it's not precious Pottsville, the county wants no part of the cleanup bill either.
I can't believe nothing has been done, but thats the way the system works, I guess. Look at the house across from the former Bogg's Market in Cressona, that burned years ago, and is still a boarded up shell.
