Changes could be coming to a key intersection in Pennsburg. An oral surgeon practice with two offices purchased three vacant parcels near the intersection of Routes 663 and 29. The Town and Country building, located at 10 4^th Street, also has a new owner.

            In August, Pennsburg Oral & Maxillofacial purchased three parcels near the intersection. The business paid $360,000 for the property in the 300 block of Main Street, according to Montgomery County Property records. It purchased the land from Wilson Pennsburg LLC, which was incorporated in September of 2011 and has an office at 455 Pennsylvania Ave. Fort Washington, according to opencorporates.com.

            All three lots – which covers 18,700 square feet – are empty, according to Lisa Hiltz, Pennsburg's administrative manager.

            The business currently operates offices in Pottstown and Boyertown. Multiple messages left for the office manager, identified by a receptionist as Melissa E., were not returned as of press time.

            A page on the business' website with a headline "Pottstown Oral Surgery Serves Pennsburg PA" describes the practice as a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal  to corrective jaw and temporomandibular joint surgery. The practice includes four dentists, certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, with varying specialties.

            The three properties near the square have been vacant for approximately 12 years. The parcel closest to the intersection, listed at 7,000 square feet without a numbered address, previously hosted the Alma Mullen Park and prior to that, the Keeler Building. The adjoining parcel, located 371 Main Street, hosted a five and dime store and later a video rental store. At 369 Main Street, a theater was later converted into an inn and later a restaurant.

            Municipal officials have not heard from the new property owner, according to Hiltz.

            A West Rockhill couple recently purchased the Town and Country building, located at 10 4^th Street, in October. Jill and Ian McIntosh paid $65,000 to the previous owner, James Eldon, according to county property records.

            Neither property owner could be reached for comment. Ian McIntosh's LinkedIn page describes him as an Ian has a accountassociate principal scientist at Merck since May of 1997.

            The new owners have submitted a permit to the municipality to repair the roof and for masonry work, according to Hiltz. The previous owner, James Eldon, could not be reached.

            The flatiron building, built in 1914 and the original home of the Town and Country newspaper, is zoned LIC-Light Industrial Commercial. The structure previously occupied by Eldon Design Associates, Inc. was evacuated on Feb. 26 after an employee of the company discovered small pieces of brick on the sidewalk.

            Anthony Campbell, Pennsburg's borough code enforcement officer, determined that a portion of the north wall was in danger of collapsing.
