The Hotel Sterling was constructed beginning in 1889 and completed in 1890. The three-story brick hotel is in a Victorian Romanesque style with Queen Anne and Eastlake influences. The building is in Allentown's first industrial area and when built was near two railroad depots thus served travelers and industrial workers. The building retains its historical integrity. The building has a bar on the first floor and rooms for rent above.
