Chamber President John Harmon said the business group is looking forward to renovating the 5,000-square-foot space and moving offices from down the street, where the chamber has been renting space since 2007. The move is expected in January.
The house has ties to a Ewing family who perished in a Myrtle Beach, S.C., small plane crash in 2006. It was owned by pilot Jon M. Kraut, a successful Newtown, Pa., orthodontist and businessman.
