from 1998 web-page add for the Bucksville Inn:
"The Bucksville House Bed & Breakfast, Kintnersville (Bucks County), Pennsylvania
The Bucksville House, a registered Bucks County historical landmark, provides the visitor not only with country charm but also with over 200 years of history.
Situated on historic Durham Road, the original section of this structure was built by Nicholas Buck (circa 1795) as one of several artisans' shops which formed the genesis of the hamlet of Bucksville.
The original building was enlarged and established as a tavern and an important stage coach stop in the early 19th century. The Bucksville House was an active tavern until the 1930's and is said to have served as a speakeasy during the Prohibition era. "

Once a 'dump,' Bucksville Inn gains spotlight By Christina Hall

The Nockamixon historic landmark is featured in Country Inns Bed & Breakfast, a national magazine.

NOCKAMIXON óJoe and Barbara Szollosi wanted to fix up an old house, a building with some history. Perusing listings at the Realtor's office, they found a 1795 "junker" on Route 412 that had been on the market for three years. The walls were crumbling. The floors were buckling. But the "poor," now-retired New Jersey schoolteachers didn't care. "Here was a dump that we could afford," Barbara said of the building, which is rumored to have spirits.
Fifteen years, 15,000 self-laid bricks and countless hours of antique shopping later, the couple have turned the dilapidated historical landmark into a thriving colonial bed and breakfast that is receiving national attention.
The Bucksville House Bed & Breakfast is featured in the April edition of Country Inns Bed & Breakfast, a national magazine. The cover and eight pages with text, pictures and the inn's special recipes highlight the edition, which can be found in every room of the Szollosis' collection-filled hideaway. "It was a nice surprise," Barbara said while standing in the brick-floored sun room constructed by Joe, the carpenter of the two. Joe agreed, saying they didn't expect the magazine spread to be so extensive. "It's nice all of our hard work has been recognized," Joe said of the structure, which was "the neighborhood eyesore" when they bought it in 1984.
The magazine contacted the Szollosis in February after its editor saw the stone, brick and stucco house while in Bucks County several years ago. The inn, filled with a plethora of handmade quilts, lanterns, baskets, pitchers and 18th-century furniture, is on the county's register of historic places. The house was built by Capt. Nicholas Buck and used as his wheelwright shop and residence. About 1830, the front of the inn was built and the building became a stagecoach stop on the Philadelphia to Easton route. The expanded house served as a hotel with tavern for 100 years.
The bed and breakfast then fell into private ownership until the Szollosis returned it to its well-known use. The innkeepers did the work themselves on nights and weekends ósanding pine floors, installing drywall, landscaping and creating a grape arbor Joe uses for homemade wine and Barbara uses for wine jelly. They call their cumbersome efforts "sweat equity." The five bedrooms ócomplete with baths óliving room, dining room and den include touches of Barbara's collecting and decorating side, such as an 1826 linen made by Catharine Fretz.
Recently, an article about the inn and the writer's stay there appeared in The Baltimore Sun. The house also received a two-page spot in County Living magazine in August and Lehigh Valley magazine in 1997. While the Szollosis have spent significant dollars on the restoration work, Barbara said guests have really helped, especially in the beginning. "When the people would stay, the money for the room would buy drywall or a window," she said. "It's really everybody's house." Wednesday, March 31, 1999
