Russell House, also known as Pate Funeral Home, is a historic home located at Bedford in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1815–1816, and is a 2 1/2-story, 5-bay by 3-bay, brick dwelling in the late-Georgian style. A two-story rear ell was added about 1840–1845. The tin-covered gable roof has three gable roof frame dormers.[3]

Solomon Filler was hired to design and build the house.[3]

The Russell House was purchased in May 2017 by the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce, with plans to create a Business & Education Center to serve the Bedford County region. When renovated, the building is expected to house as many as 14 budding businesses, in accelerator and shard-space incubator rental opportunities. Additional features will include: community art exhibits, historical displays, community meeting space, a heritage garden, and a veranda adjacent to Veterans Grove. [4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
