The first resident of this townhouse, built in 1913, was one of Lancaster’s most prominent musicians: Raymond L. Myers, and wife Nora (Wissler) Myers.
Mr. Myers was conductor of the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra and music director of the Fulton Opera House. He had been first violinist for the Boston Symphony.
He was director of instrumental music for Lancaster schools, and choirmaster at St. Mary’s Church. Plus he led his own trio, string quartet, quintet, and orchestra. He had a violin school here in his home.
The house features a modillioned cornice with brackets and ball finials, a second-story bay window, and a porch with turned balustrade and classical columns.
