SCRANTON, Pa. A new family moved into the home Charles Sumner Woolworth built on Jefferson Avenue in Scranton in 1910.
What was once a relic of Scranton s past is now home to a mom and dad and three young kids.
But, the Weiss family has big plans for the property.
Yoel Weiss took Newswatch 16 on a tour of the 120-year-old estate he purchased from New York-based artist Hunt Slonem. Hunt enjoys restoring old stuff. It s his passion; it s his hobby. So, to him, once it s done, he wants the next endeavor, and he s on to something three, four times the size, Weiss said.
