Hellam, Pennsylvania - Shoe House The World's Largest Shoe House in Hellam, Pennsylvania, got some spring back in its step on September 26, 2007, with the help of Hampton Hotels Save-A-Landmark program. In an estimated 84-hour restoration effort, nearly 20 employee volunteers cleaned, primed and painted the five-story work boot; restored its historic stain glass windows; painted the Shoe House's fence; and contributed nearly $20,000 to the Shoe House's ongoing care.
As part of the restoration, Hampton partnered with Soles4Souls -- a non-profit organization that collects and distributes shoes for those in need -- in asking community members to put their best foot forward by donating their gently used shoes. [Esther, 10/10/2007]
