Tyler Hall (George F. Tyler Mansion)

Tyler Hall and Stella’s After-Hours Visits

Exterior of Tyler Mansion on the Newtown campus of Bucks County Community College.

History & local legend

Tyler Hall at Bucks County Community College was once the home of George and Stella Elkins Tyler. Stella helped shape the mansion's interiors, including decorative work of her own, before the property took on its later role as a college administration building.

The ghost stories associate her with ordinary activity after the offices have emptied. Accounts collected by Keystone Newsroom describe alarms sounding, appliances switching on, and Stella herself being seen at night. The explanation offered in local lore is that she remained attached to a house where she had been happy.
