About 126 Fayette Street
The Historic George E. Thackray House — a rare opportunity to own one of Johnstown’s architectural treasures. Rich in character and impeccably preserved, this distinguished early 20th-century residence showcases timeless craftsmanship at every turn, from intricate woodwork and leaded glass windows to original hardwood floors, period millwork, and a grand staircase that anchors the stately foyer. Designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday living, the home offers expansive formal spaces, inviting gathering rooms, generous bedrooms, and thoughtfully preserved historic details throughout. A spacious third-floor and lower level provide exceptional flexibility and storage rarely found in homes of this era. Set just two blocks from the iconic Johnstown Inclined Plane, the George E. Thackray House places you within walking distance of schools, parks, local restaurants, neighborhood cafés, and downtown attractions while still offering the privacy and presence of a landmark residence. Mature landscaping, a charming backyard, detached garage, and welcoming front porch complete this remarkable property. A home of this significance is more than a residence — it is a piece of Johnstown history.
