The datestone identifies the couple who built this home: “William Bowsman and Elisabeth built this house 1762.” William Bowsman (Bausman) was a German immigrant who became Lancaster’s chief burgess, similar to mayor. The cornice’s left corner features a carved stone face known locally as The Eavesdropper. Was there once a similar face on the right side of that cornice, like the related Eckquadern (corner cubes) faces on some old houses in Germany? If so, did these faces represent William and Elizabeth Bowsman, similar to the couples depicted on those European stone faces? The stone house features a Georgian-style water table and belt course. The fanlight is a Federal-era alteration from ca. 1810 to 1830. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/123northprincestreet daily 0.75 2022-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/f413efad-bb73-4a8e-bed3-1fea60bf3c7a/von+hess.jpg 123 North Prince Street Lancaster, PA - 123 North Prince Street Lancaster, PA Pictured here is one of Lancaster’s finest Georgian-style buildings.

Many of the other townhouses in this block were built in the 1870s and 80s by Barton B. Martin as rental / resale properties. Barton Martin built the houses here at 412 to 422 West Walnut St., as well as the homes at 432 to 450 West Walnut St. Barton Martin was a lumber and coal dealer / real estate developer who built the house known as West Lawn nearby for his family's home.

The row later was owned by Rev. Henry Muhlenberg, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church and first president of F. and M. College. After being used as a military stable, this row was modified for use as dwellings. Perhaps some of the remodeling was done by house carpenter Jacob Hensel, who owned this row in the 1820s, after purchasing it from the estate of Rev. Muhlenberg.

It was designed by Philadelphia architect Frank Furness, who was among the most creative and highest-paid American architects of his time. His outside-the-box buildings followed no rules and blazed their own trails. His best-known creation is Philadelphia’s spectacular Academy of the Fine Arts. Furness designed this Lancaster townhouse for Judge Eugene G. Smith and wife Margaret (Wiley) Smith. The building features oversized details which are Furness signatures, including extra-large arches and brackets. The house is both modern and medieval. The interior is a showcase of pre-industrial handcraft with exceptional woodwork, leaded glass, and wrought iron. The building contractor was Herman Wohlsen, Lancaster’s top-shelf builder. Furness also designed the townhouse at 24 N. Lime St. It too is a masterwork, although its exterior is less innovative than this Smith house. Today both Furness townhouses are attorneys’ offices. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/24-north-lime-street-1 daily 0.75 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/3c8e3216-044c-4f77-802b-277cee6928fa/24+North+Lime+Street-resized.jpg 24 North Lime Street - 24 North Lime Street Lancaster, PA Philadelphia’s legendary architect Frank Furness was the designer of this landmark Lancaster townhouse.

The house features Flemish bond brickwork, an elevated entry, a high cellar, and a paneled door with transom. The house was originally wider but was partially demolished ca. 1857 to build the houses that adjoin to the right.

It was built ca. 1790 and was used as a stable. It has been known as the Gundaker Stable because George and Michael Gundaker bought this lot from James Hamilton in 1786. In 1838 the Gundaker family sold the building to Henry Steigerwald and Daniel Erisman. They converted the building into two dwellings by adding a central brick wall. Today it is a single-family home. In 1977 this structure became one of the first homes renovated in Old Town Lancaster. Workmen began chipping away at the exterior stucco that hid the limestone walls from view and "an architectural treasure from Lancaster's earliest days emerged," as the Lancaster New Era described it. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/autumn-in-lancaster2 daily 0.75 2022-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/b5b27e3a-4657-4f5a-89eb-14ac2d0f56ad/116+South+Duke+Street.jpg Autumn in Lancaster -

West End Avenue - 42 N. West End Avenue Lancaster, Pa Lancaster’s most important architect, C. Emlen Urban, designed this turreted townhouse in a row of five homes of his design. They were constructed in 1902. The houses are of pressed brick with Indiana limestone trim, Avondale stone walls, and mansard roofs. The Queen Anne style turrets on the end units are detailed with festoons and pilasters. They are among the city’s most graceful turrets. Emlen Urban designed the interiors with parlors of China gloss and Empire stairways of antique oak. The contractor was John M. Froelich. In the early 1900s this turreted house was home to Charles E. Bowman and wife Mary (Newpher) Bowman. The couple moved to Lancaster after selling their store in Millersville in 1905. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/144-north-mulberry-street daily 0.75 2022-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/780e2a56-1ea6-4953-bc8c-e54d6e41bfc4/144+North+Mulberry+Street.jpg 144 North Mulberry Street - 144 North Mulberry Street Lancaster, PA In the 1880s this 1-½ story house was home to confectioner / cake maker John T. Wein and wife Elizabeth (McDonnel) Wein. Mr. Wein learned the confection business while working for Joseph R. Royer in Lancaster, as did Milton Hershey, who later became the chocolate king. Mr. Wein left Royer's a few years before Milton Hershey began apprenticing there. In 1868 Wein purchased a confectionery shop from Joseph Royer's brother, Israel Royer, on North Queen Street. John Wein moved his home and confection shop several times in Lancaster. He had his home and a cake-and-candy shop at this Mulberry Street house in the 1880s. A brick bake oven was attached to the rear of the house at that time. When John Wein passed away in 1898 he was survived by eleven children. Cakes, candy, and ice cream had undoubtedly been a primary food group for those eleven kids.

Mr. Foltz was editor and part owner of the Lancaster Intelligencer newspaper, and was part owner of the News Journal. He owned the newspapers in partnership with his uncle Andrew Jackson Steinman, who was the grandfather of philanthropists Peggy Steinman and the late Caroline Steinman Nunan. Mrs. Foltz graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1890 and taught high school botany and physics until her marriage. The house was home to the Kappa Sigma Fraternity from 1960 to 2017, before being restored by the current owners. Architect William C. Pritchett designed this home in the Arts and Crafts / Craftsman style. The house is constructed of brick and stucco, with a hipped roof and projecting rafters. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/33-north-mulberry-street daily 0.75 2022-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c76706fb-0bfa-470c-aab2-067fc6bd38ba/33+North+Mulberry+Street.jpg 33 North Mulberry Street - 33 North Mulberry Street Lancaster, PA This brick rowhouse was built ca. 1874 – 1886. The row of three-bay houses features pedimented dormers, corbelled cornices, segmental window arches, and arched entries with fanlights. In the 1880s this house was home to David Carr and Catherine E. (Beck) Carr. Mr. Carr was a cigar packer and a fruit dealer. While the couple’s children were living with them their sons also worked as cigar packers, while their daughters worked as seamstresses. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/339-n-duke-street daily 0.75 2022-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/2d983cb6-41e5-42a9-a649-16b1efc36b78/1instee.jpg 339 N. Duke Street - 339 North Duke Street Lancaster, PA This townhouse by architect C. Emlen Urban is often unknown. It has been hiding in plain sight behind a modern first-floor addition. C. Emlen Urban designed and directed this townhouse when he was only 22 years old. He was working in Philadelphia at that time for architect Willis G. Hale. Mr. Urban designed this house for the residence of Lancaster County Commissioner Samuel M. Myers and wife Anna Mary (Dysart) Myers. An 1885 Lancaster newspaper described this Queen Anne style home: “in many respects is the most complete and the most beautiful in the city of Lancaster.” The elaborate entry hall and stairway were “certainly unequalled by anything in private residence in this city” according to that 1885 newspaper. Emlen Urban’s father provided the interior woodwork from his planing mill. The house features Philadelphia pressed brick with Peerless ornamental bricks and Perth Amboy terra cotta trimmings. The base is of Hummelstown brownstone with Indiana bluestone sills. The exterior is laid in red mortar. Emlen Urban’s 1888 Southern Market has usually been described as his first major commission in Lancaster. But this important commission predates that market by several years. A modern first-floor addition apparently was constructed before Lancaster’s Heritage Conservation District was established in 1999. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c0fda14f-050a-4c47-97cc-10c7119242b1/2instee.jpg 339 N.

"You just walk around town and feel the revitalization fever," a local contractor explained. "This restoration thing in snowballing like nothing else before." (New Era Nov. 1, 1977.) There were many players in this restoration field. Contractor Abe Binkley was transforming homes on Church Street. Architect John deVitry partnered with brothers Calvin and Dale High and others to create Old Town Lancaster. Restoration developers Bill and Nancy Puffer restored old houses for private buyers. Ed Drogaris was restoring and reselling older houses. And many more homeowners were restoring buildings. These investors were following in the footsteps of historic-house buffs who began rehabbing houses on Howard Avenue in the 1960s. R. Dexter Frey Jr. and Matthew Mannix were movers and shakers during this restoration heyday. These business partners specialized in residential restoration. They restored and renovated these two homes on Plum Street, in addition to other city properties. Other players in this field during that time include Gene Shaw working on Church Street and Jere Shertzer doing projects on Chestnut Street. Lancaster's revitalization movement continues today. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/452-race-avenue daily 0.75 2022-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/7033eca8-b494-47c7-8bd0-d6ee5e8d2218/452+Race+Avenue.jpg 452 Race Avenue - 452 Race Avenue Lancaster, PA This almost-suburban house was built in 1924 by builder / contractor Albert B. Wohlsen Sr. for his family’s home. He lived here with wife Kathryn (Sharpe) Wohlsen and their children. Mr. Wohlsen worked with the construction company founded by his father Herman F. Wohlsen. That building business became today’s Wohlsen Construction Company. Two Wohlsen brothers grew up in this Race Avenue house: Albert Wohlsen Jr. and Robert S. Wohlsen. These two brothers became the third generation of Wohlsens to lead the Wohlsen construction company. Albert Wohlsen Jr. also became mayor of Lancaster. The house includes some Tudor Revival details. That architecture style was the height of fashion here during that era. Lancaster architect Melvern R. Evans Sr. designed this home. Three years earlier, in 1921, Architect C. Emlen Urban had created one of the city's finest Tudor Revival houses for this Albert Wohlsen Sr.’s brother, Herman A. Wohlsen. That house is located around the corner at 930 Buchanan Ave. Both these Wohlsen brothers’ Tudor-style houses face Buchanan Park. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/141-143-east-clay-street daily 0.75 2022-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/6f9acf63-7011-4040-91d8-19214f25cf82/141+-+143+East+Clay+Street.jpg 141 - 143 East Clay Street - 141 - 143 East Clay Street Lancaster’s most important architect, C. Emlen Urban, designed this double house ca. 1901 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The builders were real estate developers Samuel M. Myers and Jacob Rathfon, who also owned Lancaster’s Myers and Rathfon clothing store. Architect Emlen Urban had previously built the Lancaster family home for this Samuel Myers, at 339 N. Duke St, when the architect was only 22 years old in 1885. Emlen Urban was well acquainted with the Myers family because the Urban family and the Myers associated together at Lancaster’s Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Myers also was a Lancaster County commissioner. The building features a dramatic pair of quatrefoil windows. The houses are crowned with horticultural festoons which are seemingly attached to the building with cast-stone bows. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/art-show daily 0.75 2022-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/16384d86-af2a-4df1-a562-6c2728012058/Slide+1.jpg Art Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/225c28b4-aeba-4926-a0f3-383fd59f74dc/Slide+4.jpg Art Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/8559c44a-8d53-4db9-b54a-bfe2ab8247de/Page+2+revised.jpg Art Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/9225fccb-6915-4dd0-a3a5-18db04fe3425/Slide+5.jpg Art Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/b6a22cb2-9e3d-4a42-8acb-9e9570fa46a7/Page+3-+Revised.jpg Art Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/11537911-b637-499f-a746-413d9862b45e/Slide+6.jpg Art Show - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/593b6905-79d4-4f1b-b4b0-7e219f0df24d/Banner.jpg Art Show - Richard Redmond Fine Art The Historic Preservation Trust https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/232-north-mary-street daily 0.75 2022-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/49e17a44-8b10-4e43-ab94-26b3db645a76/232+North+Mary+Street.jpg 232 North Mary Street - 232 North Mary Street Lancaster, PA This Queen-Anne style house was the home of builder / contractor Frank Spicer and wife Emma (Nagle) Spicer.

The National Institute of Architects proclaimed in their December 1978 journal that by rescuing the houses from the wrecking ball Old Town "saved a portion of the city's history and sparked a recycling trend in Lancaster, PA, that makes the city proud." https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/martin-1 daily 0.75 2023-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/9668290f-ec63-454a-b0f6-aa54ffbdac90/1886+Map+Lumber+Yard.jpg Lumber Yard - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/7b108fa5-5953-4bb8-8c0c-63cd4c869ddf/2022+Google+Map.jpg Lumber Yard - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/89a2778a-eb13-439c-a30f-9ad782c0c1e1/1890s+Williams+Directory+Lumber+and+Coal.jpg Lumber Yard - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c6b3e9bc-b197-4295-8723-1da2d8343c88/1897+Sanborn+Map+B.+B.+Martin+Lumber+Yard.jpg Lumber Yard - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/53ef666c-94eb-4933-81e1-b4dc5a215cc1/1912+Sanborn+Map+Lumberyard.jpg Lumber Yard - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/817888de-5d3c-4e64-af82-5d2321f99008/2022+Lumber+Yard+Charlotte+Street.jpg Lumber Yard - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/ccc25d35-9b98-4de9-8c0f-0320d166b48b/1916+Lanaster+City+Directory+R.+L.+Polk.jpg Lumber Yard - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/0a3ec9a3-d0a1-423a-80cf-65546f2b4a39/April+9%2C+1972+Sunday+News.jpg Lumber Yard - Make it stand out Image: Sunday News, April 9, 1972 https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/builders daily 0.75 2023-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658265390341-XQJNW6MHY50PSGP59XVQ/West+Lawn.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658265417418-0OCCYJY5WQZ3FUOAO95J/Wolf+Museum+Not+Spring.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658325202332-F884B9ZN6OMKNTVZRPOE/234+-+236+North+Charlotte+St.+Smaller.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658325291383-Q9QUQF97USK6DEX0AF5D/242+%26+244+n+charlotte+st.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658325401154-SR0LITZX1WV8FVDBIJHB/224+%26+226+lancater+ave.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658333971011-T2H7NUU6CYTZYR3MA3TS/228+-+230+Lancaster+Avenue.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658334509920-IKNXTO4VMT8FT6YQYT19/440+W+Walnut.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658334599380-XKC1LQHO2A34KH2WZ4ZQ/448+West+Walnut+Street.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658342808034-QR6G3FIQ2QX08L729K8N/436+West+Walnut+2.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658342878746-KNBNAMJ7791TJHRESWD1/420+-+422+West+Walnut+St.jpg Builders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1658349393385-WATR2R0ACW3U3K4JWFIO/230+N+charlotte+st.jpg Builders https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/229-east-chestnut-street daily 0.75 2022-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/af12b427-0a05-488e-b75f-da10199154b8/229+West+Chestnut+Street.jpg 229 East Chestnut Street - 229 East Chestnut Street Lancaster, PA This one and one-half story house is a rare survivor. It is half of a double house built ca. 1830 to 1850. It is part of a row of two double houses of similar type. The houses are of frame construction, with pedimented dormers. The dwellings appear on an 1850 map, and may date as early as the 1830s. These diminutive homes face the Grubb Mansion located across the street, which is Lancaster’s finest example of a Classical Revival townhouse. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/weaverland-farm daily 0.75 2023-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/a33aa0bc-708d-49de-b99c-8f0ee0499a73/Map+1.jpg Weaverland Farm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/e8531ff1-9bf2-49cc-a76a-fb2c5e109316/Map+with+Key.jpg Weaverland Farm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/680d3da2-7925-4dfd-b4df-bfec5b58ee6a/Family+Tree.jpg Weaverland Farm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/d4f86e64-dc71-40f0-bdb6-940f5f9a6c45/First+Homestead-1.jpg Weaverland Farm - Make it stand out Above: The Immigrant David Martin Homestead in 1954 Published in A Family History… by W.

The house is located in the Adamstown neighborhood which was developed in 1744 by German immigrant Dr. Adam Simon Kuhn. The land was once part of the Hans Musser tract. Dr. Kuhn laid out this development into 46 building lots. He created streets that became today's Howard Avenue, Pershing Avenue, and part of South Lime Street. Most of the first houses on these lots were one-story log buildings. This Adamstown house was built on a double lot. William Geiger bought the lot in 1747. Eventually numerous investors built one-story brick homes in this area as rental properties. Many historic homes were lost to demolition during Lancaster's urban renewal of the 1960s and 70s. But Lancaster City Council saved this one from the bulldozer in 1971, and declared it "well worth saving." Builder / developer Abe Binkley did the initial rehabilitation of this house as part of his Olde Hickory Towne redevelopment project here on Church Street. The house has an early brick addition to the left side. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/martin-farm daily 0.75 2023-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/ff783c61-fc66-42a2-8122-6a419cca17ab/1855+Map+of+the+Three+Earls.jpg Martin Farm - Make it stand out Above: 1855 Map of the Three Earls, Lancaster County, PA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/d5a2dd92-8e0e-41ca-9634-37c7826cdab2/1864+Map+Second.jpg Martin Farm - Make it stand out Above: 1864 East Earl Map: Bridge’s Atlas of Lancaster Co.

His name has also been spelled Nehve, Neave, and Navy. An old milestone survives in place beside an entry. The marker explains that it is 63 miles to Philadelphia and 10 miles to Columbia. King Street, in front of this house, was part of the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike. That highway was first used in 1795. It was the first long-distance road in the U. S. paved with crushed stone. Milestones like this were used on this road from its earliest era. This milestone has stood here near this intersection of King and Mulberry Streets for generations. This could be near the stone’s original location. Countless travelers in stagecoach and wagons have passed this marker. Local newspapers describe the stone being located at this street intersection in 1899 (the Lancaster Examiner) and in 1907 (the News Journal). The two door surrounds are original. They are remarkable examples of Federal craftsmanship, with pilasters and keystoned arches. The house has Flemish-bond brickwork and a molded cornice. 311 - 313 West King St. Lancaster, Pennsylvania. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/93e9ddae-204d-42cf-8020-ee6c4f692906/313+West+King+Street+2.jpg 311 - 313 West King Street - Make it stand out Milestone: 63 miles to Philadelphia. 10 miles to Columbia. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/519churchstreet daily 0.75 2023-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/0520bf7d-883e-4aa8-8c16-679ee0d8bbde/519+Church+Street.jpg 519 Church Street - 519 Church Street Lancaster, PA This landmark limestone house is one of the oldest surviving houses in Lancaster. It was built ca. 1765. This dwelling has often been called “The Oyster House” because for many years Martin L. Rutter had an oyster restaurant in this building. Mr. Rutter began selling oysters here around 1892, and continued for 21 years. He lived in the western half of this building, (on the right) above his oyster cellar / restaurant. He and his four sons also had an oyster shop at Lancaster's Western Market during this time. Martin Rutter traveled to the Chesapeake Bay to purchase his oysters. He also purchased watermelons and other produce on these trips, which he sold at Lancaster market stands. He was famous for the size of his gargantuan oysters. His salty bivalves were known to be six inches long and two-and-a-half inches thick. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/27howardavenue daily 0.75 2023-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/9e6e8620-fd05-46f9-9306-ccbb639c9db3/27+Howard+Avenue.jpg 27 Howard Avenue - 27 Howard Avenue Lancaster, PA In the early 1900s this was the home of Widow Mary C. (Kleiss) Gast. She was a seamstress / dressmaker who specialized in “altering and remodeling ladies suits” according to her newspaper ad. Mrs. Gast had been married to Albert C. Gast. She lived here with her only child, her special-needs adult son Edwin. She was active with the First Reformed Church. Mrs. Gast later retired into Lancaster’s home for low-income women, the Long Home, where she died in 1919 at age 77. That personal-care home continues today. The home was created in 1905, funded by a bequest from Judge Henry G. Long. Long’s Park was another gift to Lancaster City from this judge. The Hamilton Club is the former home of Judge Long’s unmarried daughter Catharine H. Long. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/353-west-king-street daily 0.75 2024-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/caa13d95-7523-40b5-8883-1bf953468c5c/323+West+King+Street.jpg 353 West King Street - 323 West King Street Lancaster, PA Lancaster’s Musser-Reigert House is architecturally one of the city’s most significant Georgian-style house. The earliest part of this house was built ca. 1780 by leather tanner Michael Musser. The original east section, on the right, includes fine woodwork which was probably made by the same carpenter who built Lancaster’s 1785 Judge Charles Smith House. That Smith house was demolished in 1967, before the creation of the Historic District which would have protected that landmark building. In 1814 this house was purchased by Adam Reigert Jr. He was Lancaster’s chief burgess (mayor) from 1810 to 1815. He also was president of the Lancaster branch of the Pennsylvania Bank. According to local tradition, French General Lafayette reviewed troops from this house during his 1825 visit to America. The stone house has a pilastered-and-pedimented entry, keystoned lintels, pedimented dormers, and a Grecian-key cornice. The window sash and shutters date to ca. 1870. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/627-w-chestnut-street daily 0.75 2022-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/a82fe03a-7629-4195-aecc-0145a430a73f/627+west+chestnut+best.jpg 627 W. Chestnut Street - 627 West Chestnut Street Lancaster, PA In the 1920s and 30s this townhouse was the home of one of Lancaster’s most renowned musicians: Dr. Stanton Becker von Grabill. He was listed as one of the world’s six leading pianists. Dr. von Grabill was born in Brownstown, Lancaster County, in 1872. He studied piano in Russia with Arthur Rubenstein. He was knighted in Austria by Emperor Franz Josef. Dr. von Grabill also was an associate teacher with Eduard Grieg in Berlin, and was court pianist to the Emperor of Germany. Von Grabill lived here with wife Josephine (Strickler) von Grabill. The house was designed by Lancaster's most important architect, C. Emlen Urban. It was built ca. 1898. It features a polygonal bay window with a swagged frieze, an elaborate dormer, a mansard roof, and stone quoins. The porch has paneled posts with a lozenge motif. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/48-52-west-king-street daily 0.75 2023-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/75837b4a-8d58-4ffb-86c2-27db917051cb/52+West+King+Street.jpg 48 - 52 West King Street - 48 - 52 West King Street Lancaster, PA Milton Hershey, founder of Hershey chocolate company, began his candy career in this landmark building in the 1870s. He was a teenage apprentice to candy maker Joseph Royer, who operated a shop selling candy and ice cream in this building. Milton Hershey and his Mennonite mother lived in Lancaster City at that time. Milton’s father left the family and moved west. The father did not approve of Milton being a candy maker, because the father thought that was women’s work. Fortunately Milton disagreed. In the 1880s Milton Hershey started Lancaster Caramel Company in this city. He employed over 1,300 workers. He then sold the company for one million dollars and started his Hershey chocolate company. This building was constructed in 1868. The original storefront remains. There is also an elaborate bracketed cornice, with keystoned arches in the frieze, segmental arched windows with curved caps, and corner quoins.

The first-floor façade is cast-iron.The primary structure is brick. A maker’s mark on the façade identifies the iron foundry: Royer Brothers of Philadelphia. Historic cast-iron buildings are landmarks in Manhattan’s Soho district and in Philadelphia’s Old Town. The building was constructed in 1873 as a grocery store and wholesale grocery warehouse for Miller and Hartman, the area’s first grocery wholesaler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/6b3489b6-8f02-4af9-b87b-07241aac4d7e/Royer.jpg 21 - 23 West Chestnut - Image: Cast-iron maker’s mark: Royer Brothers of Philadelphia https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/223-east-chestnut-street daily 0.75 2023-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/9be9e17c-9629-4bb1-8f74-bcc4afec8e2e/223+East+Chestnut+2.jpg 223 East Chestnut Street - 223 East Chestnut Street Lancaster, PA This office building was built in 1911 as an umbrella factory for Rose Brothers and Co. In the early 1900s umbrella manufacturing was one of Lancaster City’s most important industries. Pennsylvania led the U. S. in umbrella production at that time. Lancaster’s umbrella factories produced more than half of the state’s umbrellas and parasols. In the 1980s a law firm transformed the building for use as offices. The building also became home to an investments advisory firm. The building is an excellent example of adaptive reuse of a historic commercial building.

The presidents who lived here with their families were Rev. Dr. John C. Bowman and Rev. Dr. Edward Shepperd Bromer. Today the residence for seminary presidents is the Colonial Revival home located around the corner at 519 North Pine Street. This James Street house is constructed with an American Foursquare design. The architect was C. Emlen Urban who designed the house in 1896. The home’s cubic design includes a low-pitched hipped roof with a deep overhang, and hipped dormers. A Gothic-arched cartouche displays a cross on the center of the façade. Today this cartouche is a reminder of the home’s history with the seminary.

This former factory complex was transformed into a boutique hotel, gourmet restaurant, apartments, and commercial space. The site was home to Armstrong Cork Company. Architect C. Emlen Urban designed this Building Number 8 in 1901. Later Kerr Glass Manufacturing produced bottles and caps here at this complex. These factory buildings were constructed from the 1860s to the 1930s. In 2012 Barry and Linda Baldwin and their family completed an eight-year re-invention of this site, to rave reviews. They converted the factory buildings into the Cork Factory Hotel, the Cork and Cap Restaurant, commercial / retail space, wedding / events space, and 46 apartments. Today Urban Place continues to maintain standards of excellence for urban renewal and mixed-use development. Thanks to Deb Oesch for informing me that Architect C.

In the 1920s and 30s this was the home of Milton H. Levy and wife Olga (Pirosh) Levy. Mr. Levy, a Lancaster native, operated the tobacco-packing company Morris Levy and Sons. The company was with the General Cigar Company which was one of the largest buyers of Lancaster County tobacco. The Levys were members of the Congregation Shaarai Shomayim. Mrs. Levy was a director of the Sisterhood of the Duke Street Temple. The house’s Tudor Revival details include an asymmetrical gable and decorative half timbering. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/new-page-50 daily 0.75 2023-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/2237a36d-4ad4-4774-aa9a-9276d74d820a/Seminary+Gate.jpg 555 West James Street - 555 West James Street Lancaster, PA This Tudor Revival arcade at Lancaster Theological Seminary was constructed 1916 – 17. The seminary’s extraordinary Tudor Revival refectory, dormitory, and arcades are my favorite example of this style in Lancaster City. And the seminary’s 1893 Lark Academic Building is my favorite Romanesque Revival building in the city. The Tudor Revival architects were Dillon, McLelland and Beadel of New York. The builder was Herman L. Wiant of Lancaster. The arches are trimmed in Indiana limestone. A limestone bas-relief above the central arch depicts the medieval image of a pelican sacrificing herself for her chicks by plucking her breast to feed them her blood. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/henselhall daily 0.75 2023-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/b56504c0-a4e6-4943-9b8d-96c31f3ea743/Front+Elevation+Lighter.jpg Hensel Hall / Barshinger Center - Make it stand out Above: The front entry.

He previously had been a business associate of Hager Brothers Store and the J. B. Martin Store. Jacob Fehl had purchased this site from B. Frank Eshleman in 1908. In 1916 he sold the building to a new bank he helped create, the Agricultural Trust Company. Jacob Fehl was bank president, Christian F. Sauder was vice-president, and Charles D. Zell was treasurer. The bank occupied the first floor, with rental office space above. The building has a cut-stone façade, with brick sides . The cornice is decorated with modillions and dentils, above a swagged frieze, all capped with a stone balustrade.

It was the first building constructed on campus, in 1854 – 56. The architects were Dixon, Balbirnie, and Dixon of Baltimore. Old Main is located on the city’s highest hill. The building was originally home to classrooms and a chapel. It is flanked by two smaller Gothic Revival buildings, also built in the 1850s. They originally housed literary debating societies: Goethean Hall and Diagnothian Hall. Old Main faces east toward downtown like a medieval cathedral of higher education. Its bell tower has four octagonal turrets crowned with four pinnacles. The entry and windows are trimmed with limestone. Pointed arches and vertical lines define this Perpendicular Gothic style. 525 Old Main Drive (Building #8) Lancaster, Pennsylvania https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/36c8b1a6-3944-4295-b351-38085a74a8ca/Trees.jpg Old Main - Make it stand out Above: Old Main (center) Goethean Hall (left) Diagnothian Hall (right) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/96eb33d6-28d2-4f64-8d1b-ed2006cb99d0/Best+Rhododendron.jpg Old Main - Make it stand out Above: Goethean Hall (left), Old Main (right) Rhododendron in flower https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/goetheanhall daily 0.75 2023-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/ec566b17-3f99-4798-bc84-15bc2a2134ab/Double+Halls.jpg Goethean Hall - Make it stand out Above: The Two Sisters: Goethean Hall (on left), Diagnothian Hall (on right) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/69c495c7-e060-41dd-b667-4450c43ad93d/Goethean+Side.jpg Goethean Hall - Make it stand out Above: Goethean Hall (on left) Old Main (on right).

Built in the late 1700s, its oak logs are now covered with wood siding. The house is a classic Pennsylvania German settlers’ house, a Flurküchenhaus (corridor-kitchen house). Early Germanic houses, here, used central stoves to heat the home, while Anglo / British houses used gable fireplaces for heat, instead of a stove. Related Germanic houses include the 1719 Herr House and the settlers’ cabin at Landis Valley Museum This house's central cooking fireplace was removed in the early 1900s. The shutters disappeared in the 1970s. But the dove-tailed oak logs are still here, protected from the weather by the old German siding. And the central chimney survives. So the house's memory of the Rhineland continues to this day. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/fackenthalswimmingpool daily 0.75 2023-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/451e5e4f-55d8-4962-af5a-3dafb6cb5905/Fackenthal+Pool.jpg Fackenthal Swimming Pool - Fackenthal Swimming Pool Franklin and Marshall College F&M College’s leading benefactor in the 1920s and 30s was Benjamin Franklin Fackenthal Jr. He donated most of the funds to build three campus buildings including this swimming-pool building in 1930, along with the library and the science building (today’s Patricia E. Harris Center). Mr. Fackenthal was an iron-industry executive from Bucks County. He served as president of the college’s board of trustees from 1915 to 1941. F&M had been associated with the German Reformed Church, of which Mr. Fackenthal was a member. That denomination later became part of the U. C. C. The college went secular and co-ed in 1969. This building’s design is attributed to Philadelphia architect Charles Z. Klauder. The architecture is a Georgian Colonial Revival style. It has a gambrel roof, an entry pavilion topped with a limestone balustrade, arch-top windows, and cartouches over the entries. In 1995 the new Kunkel Aquatic Center/McGinness Pool replaced this pool. 630 College Avenue (Building #19) Lancaster, Pennsylvania https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/f2493f33-f838-420b-be86-d3d2ce9c57df/Red+Buckeye+Pool.jpg Fackenthal Swimming Pool - Make it stand out Above: The former Fackenthal Swimming Pool Red Buckeye (Aesculus pavia) https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/515howardavenue daily 0.75 2023-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/d81e7b9c-29c6-4c79-ae03-55cd0de9e341/515+Howard+Avenue.jpg 515 Howard Avenue - 515 Howard Avenue Lancaster, PA This home is one of the oldest houses in the city of Lancaster. It was built ca. 1763 – 1798 as a Germanic log Flurküchenhaus (corridor-kitchen house). The house is a landmark example of historic Black family homeownership in Southeast Lancaster. A historical marker on the front façade identifies this house as the Burg-Moton House. This was the home of Charles and Maria Moton. Mr. Moton (born 1841 – died 1925) served in the Civil War with the U. S. Colored Troops (USCT). He acquired this home in 1880 and lived here with his family until his passing. He worked as a laborer, drayman, and teamster. This building lot was purchased in 1760 by Patrick Agnew. He sold the lot to Christian Burg in 1763 who built this house before 1798.

514 Howard Avenue Lancaster, PA An “elegant sauer kraut supper” was served in this little house in 1914 to celebrate the 77th birthday of Widow Mary A. (Barcliff) Fortney, according to a 1914 Lancaster newspaper. She “was agreeably surprised by a shower of postcards. She received numerous other gifts, and in the evening she entertained her immediate family by an elegant sauer kraut supper. Nearly all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were present.” Her husband, George W. Fortney, had passed away in 1900. She lived in this home the rest of her life, until 1921, when she passed away at age 83. The 1-1/2 story house was built ca. 1850. It has two pedimented dormers, a sawtooth cornice, transomed entry, and a panelled front door. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/huegelalumnihouse2 daily 0.75 2023-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/7ecf66db-f189-4377-a61d-b8d7e51d8aea/Alumni+House+1.jpg Huegel Alumni House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/a973b55f-7c4f-4e18-b0f9-069b87322ced/Magnolia+1.jpg Huegel Alumni House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/meyranhall daily 0.75 2024-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/44285460-af42-430b-9c3a-d853833d5735/Meyran+Hall+33.jpg Meyran Hall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/964fe7de-633f-403b-9a4a-123a0989bbf0/Meyran+Hall.jpg Meyran Hall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/f71f3432-c4d0-4a76-9cba-16c78507eac4/1925+Architectural+Forum.jpg Meyran Hall - Make it stand out Above: Architects’ Drawing of Meyran Hall and Dietz Hall Image source: Architectural Forum, Dec. 1925.

That same year the bride’s parents deeded the house to her for one dollar. The groom, John I. Hartman, was a Princeton graduate. He was an executive with his father’s umbrella manufacturing company in Lancaster: Folmer, Clogg, and Co. The couple lived in this home for decades, and raised their children here. Loneita Hartman was active with the American Red Cross. Her husband later became associated with the Bearings Company of America. He also owned Barr-Hurst Bookstore. Half-timbered revivalist architecture of this type was sometimes described as “Old English” during that era. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/stagerhall daily 0.75 2023-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/601fe85a-e876-40de-b6b4-6ca17b178daa/Stager+Hall+Hostas.jpg Stager Hall - Make it stand out Above and below: Stager Hall in summer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1f0fca62-189e-4959-9e0f-d9f4c1c14c31/Stager+Hall+Spirea.jpg Stager Hall - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/121e74a4-4375-4eab-97f1-fdbc785d85e2/stager+hall.jpg Stager Hall - Make it stand out Above: Stager Hall in spring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/57704792-1abe-46c8-94a6-aac6aa936f4c/Science+Building.jpg Stager Hall - Make it stand out Above: Rear view of Stager Hall today (the former Science Building / Stahr Hall) This rear side was once the front side, facing College Ave., as shown below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/a9394db9-e11f-4629-b3b5-5b37a4119854/Postcard.jpg Stager Hall - Make it stand out Above: The building’s original Beaux-Arts design by Architect C.

Evans, Sr. It was built for businessman Harry A. Bevis and wife Marie (Levan) Bevis. Mr. Bevis was treasurer and secretary of the Lancaster Brick Company. He later was associated with Haldy Memorials, Inc. Melvern R. Evans, Sr. was one of Lancaster’s premier architects. He also designed some of the first homes in School Lane Hills. His grandfather and father were both Lancaster architects. The grandfather, John Hantch Evans, is often named Lancaster’s first architect. Melvern Evan’s father was Architect Clifton Evans. This townhouse’s cross gable has a keystoned lunette window in a modillioned pediment. An elliptical fanlight surmounts the entry, with sidelights. The home faces Musser Park and the Grubb Mansion.

West End Ave. - 310 N. West End Avenue Lancaster, PA This Lancaster City home was built in the early 20th century in an American Foursquare design. During that era this was the home of manufacturer David L. Harnish and wife Elizabeth (Brown) Harnish. Mr. Harnish was the founder of today’s Lancaster Paint and Glass Company. He began producing paint in 1884, and opened a paint store on South Queen Street. The company continues today on Ross Street. The firm has Lancaster County’s largest selection of glass, specialty glass, mirror, and plastic. The house has a hipped roof, arch-top dormers, and a full-width porch with a pedimented entry. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/245westchestnut daily 0.75 2023-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/08115726-12be-4bb2-8a7d-7690c8f999d9/245+West+Chestnut+St.jpg 245 West Chestnut Street - 245 West Chestnut Street Lancaster, PA This was the home of Lancaster’s famed clockmaker, Martin Shreiner, Sr. in the mid 1800s. He was one of the region’s premier makers of tall-case clocks / grandfather clocks. In 2019 a tall-case musical clock by Martin Shreiner sold at auction for $204,000, a record for a Shreiner clock. This was one of the highest prices ever paid for a Lancaster clock. It was made ca. 1820 and descended in the Shreiner family. After the auction the clock returned to Lancaster County to a local family. In 1836 this clockmaker established the Shreiner-Concord Cemetery across the street from this house. The cemetery is best known as the burial place of U. S. Congressman Thaddeus Stevens, who was one of the most powerful congressmen during the Civil-War era. Thaddeus Stevens was passionately anti-slavery and is considered a father of U. S. public education. The house was built ca. 1840 to 1860. It has pedimented dormers and wood lintels with roundels. The inset front porch probably dates to ca. 1925. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/14northlime daily 0.75 2023-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/43ad87e6-8676-4e8e-909e-9cdae3d52c29/14+North+Lime+Street.jpg 14 North Lime Street - 14 North Lime Street Lancaster, PA In the 1890s this townhouse was the home of Milton Hershey’s business partner in the Lancaster Caramel Company, before Mr. Hershey became this region’s chocolate king. Hershey’s caramel partner, William L. Blair, lived here with wife Annie (Smyth) Blair. He later was president of the American Caramel Company. Milton Hershey had been living on S. Queen St here in Lancaster. This house was designed by John A. Dempwolf of York, PA, for Walter M. Franklin, ca. 1889. It was sold to Annie C. Blair in 1892. The design includes Romanesque Revival details. There are brownstone entry steps, sills, and water table, with fanlight windows, and a polygonal bay window. A cherry tree flowers above the sidewalk in April.

Tobacco was king in 1899, when this warehouse was constructed. Lancaster County was leading the state in production of cigar-leaf tobacco. There were about 100 tobacco warehouses in Lancaster City at that time. Most of those warehouses had plain architectural design. This example, though, has a dramatic and monumental façade achieved by its three-story brick pilasters and three large blind arches. This warehouse was designed by Architect William Wallace Bretherick. (Thanks to Deb Oesch for identifying this building’s architect.) For many years the building was owned by P. Lorillard, the oldest tobacco company in the U. S. The company was established in New York in 1760. Today the building is home to RGS Associates: landscape architects and civil engineers. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/335-337eastorange daily 0.75 2023-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/3478a18e-5739-4b61-98ab-c5dcefe40f46/335+-+337+East+Orange+St.jpg 335 - 337 East Orange Street - 335 - 337 East Orange Street Lancaster, PA This double townhouse was built in 1885 for two Strobel sisters by their parents who lived next door. The sisters were Elizabeth Strobel (Mrs. William Otterbein Frailey ) and Julia Strobel (Mrs. John W. Hiemenz). The parents were Henry Strobel, a prosperous tavern keeper, and Frederika (Rapp) Strobel. These parents lived next door at 333 East Orange St. The Strobel family was active with St. Anthony’s Catholic Church. The house was designed by a young architect, C.

Foster. Research by Deb Oesch determined that the architect is C. Emlen Urban. The row has five similar houses. The ornate dormers are in a Flemish Revival style. Bay windows alternate with balconies along the row. Ornamentation includes terra cotta panels and balcony festoons. This builder / clothier Jordan Foster eventually moved into the house on the left, number 449, with wife Emma (Forbes) Foster in the early 1900s. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/40eastgrant daily 0.75 2023-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/32ba0d92-12f4-4e4e-ac70-146f43ef4521/Charlie+Wagner%27s+Cafe.jpg 40 East Grant Street - 40 East Grant Street Lancaster, PA This building was constructed in 1891 as home to Charlie Wagner's Cafe. It was designed by Lancaster’s most important architect, C. Emlen Urban. An 1891 newspaper described Charlie Wagner’s Cafe as “the handsomest bar room in the city...finer than many in larger cities. Inside everything is finished in the finest style.” The cafe's oyster bar had a marble top. The cafe bar was of solid mahogany and the furniture was natural cherry. The walls were “richly plastered in plastico and lincrusta.” “Fine engravings adorn the wall.” The cafe's proprietor, Charlie Wagner, previously had worked with the Stevens House. In the early 1900s he lived in the neighborhood that later became today’s Old Town Lancaster. His home there was at 121 South Duke St. The cafe is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. It is located beside the courthouse at 40 East Grant Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/libertyhouse daily 0.75 2023-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c85c5515-ba4e-40b5-9d2d-283f588e8226/Liberty+House.jpg Liberty House Buchanan Park - Liberty House in Buchanan Park This well-known building in Buchanan Park is a scaled-down replica of Lancaster County’s second courthouse, which was built in 1787. That Federal-style courthouse was located in the center of Penn Square, where the Soldiers and Sailors Monument is today. This courthouse replica was built in 1918 by students of the Stephens Trade High School, to sell Liberty Bonds during World War I. It was designed by Architect C. Emlen Urban. It stood on Penn Square in front of the Watt and Shand Building (today’s Convention Center). In the 1920s the building was moved here to Buchanan Park. Today this mini courthouse is used for storage.

The city had not yet created today's preservation ordinances to keep this historic building on its original site. The house was built in the 1700s. It had been home to the Erisman family for over 100 years. Michael Erisman and wife Catherine (Herpil) Erisman were the first Erismans to live in this home, beginning in 1829. Michael was a carpenter and helped build St. Mary's Catholic Church, Grace Lutheran Church, and the courthouse. Their son Emmanuel John Erisman lived here next, with wife Mary (Kline) Erisman. Emmanuel owned a clothing store in Lancaster, and was a shirtmaker by trade. The family descends from immigrant Melchior Erisman (ca. 1699 - 1740). He was a Swiss Mennonite who apparently emigrated to Lancaster via the Palatinate, Germany. Craftsmen moved the house from 315 W. Orange Street (see second photo). They restored it at the museum with careful attention to detail. The original floorplan was preserved. All the first-floor trim was preserved. No partitions were moved. Three of the four downstairs floors are original. Door latches are original. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/ef814402-1728-4e54-8a13-21dd921a26dd/eris5.jpg Erisman House - Make it stand out Image: Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/f24ba457-0f0b-4bcb-a3f8-182498c911f4/eris2.jpg Erisman House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/emlenurbanschools daily 0.75 2024-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/335c5245-686a-468d-b3ba-cc6b9251f583/stevens+school.jpg Emlen Urban Schools - Make it stand out Above: Stevens High School for Girls, 1904.

Robert F. Keppel Sr was a pioneer Lancaster candymaker who became a nationally known confectioner. He began his career as a young boy in Lancaster pushing a cart selling “Hokey-Pokey” snowballs of shaved ice and fruit syrups. At age 11 he began working for candymaker Joseph H. Huber. By age 15 he was making chocolate Easter eggs in his parents’ home. He became one of this region’s premier candymakers. Robert Keppel moved his candy company into this building in 1916. The building had been constructed in 1913 for the tobacco business of Jacob G. Shirk, dealer in cigars, pipe tobacco, etc. This structure was the largest wholesale tobacco saleshouse in Pennsylvania. This tobacco company encountered financial difficulty, so the candy company was able to purchase this building three years after it was built. The architect was C. Emlen Urban, Lancaster’s most important homegrown architect. The building has a Beaux-Arts facade of glazed terra-cotta tile.

Emlen Urban was only in his early 20s when he designed these houses ca. 1886 in the new Queen Anne style. The Lancaster New Era (Oct 23, 1886) described these houses as “a new style of architecture” for Lancaster. The reporter exclaimed that there were no other houses in the city like these. The houses were built as investment property by German immigrant John Henry Achmus and his son-in-law William Parke Cummings. Henry Achmus was born in Hanover, Germany. Here in Lancaster County he was a farmer. He owned the Carpenter Farm south of the city. William Cummings married into this Achmus family when he married Adeline “Addie” A. Achmus. He owned a business that manufactured steam engines, radiators, and boilers. He erected many steam and hot water plants around Lancaster. He also served on Lancaster City Council. The houses have much decorative terra cotta including decorative panels, console brackets, ball finials, and bands of trim. The brickwork includes corbelled cornices and pendants. The porches have turned posts and oversized brackets. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/architectbartholomew daily 0.75 2023-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/30e000fa-b8b1-4da1-8f19-153b28c08ea2/Postcard+Ebay+Undated.jpg Memorial Presbyterian Church - Make it stand out Above: Postcard of Memorial Presbyterian Church.

He was a wealthy bachelor historian / hardware-store owner. He was Lancaster’s premier historian and antiquarian of his era. For generations his Steinman relatives had owned the region’s leading hardware business and newspaper-publishing companies. Mr. Steinman owned Steinman Hardware Store, where today’s Pressroom Restaurant is located. He was president of the Lancaster County Historical Society for 21 years, from 1896 to 1917. He also was an organizer of the Hamilton Club, and was a trustee of Lancaster Moravian Church where his Steinman relatives were longtime members. Mr. Steinman shared his home here with his two sisters: unmarried sister Mary E. Steinman, and widow Sarah M. Franklin. He never married. He willed most of his estate to his sister Mary Steinman. The house was built ca. 1854 – 1858 for banker George K. Reed. Mr. Steinman’s father, George M. Steinman, next purchased this house in 1866. Historian George Steinman then lived here until his passing in 1920. His extraordinary collection of historic Lancaster documents and photographs is preserved at LancasterHistory, where he was president for many years. The house is an early example of Italianate architecture in Lancaster. It has segmental arched windows with stone caps, round-arched central entry with fanlight and sidelights, a bracketed cornice, and a stone water table. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/26westking daily 0.75 2023-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/ad1d46cb-d99f-4ca7-bb68-14b3e959c0e4/Pressroom.jpg 26 West King Street - 26 West King Street Lancaster, PA This landmark building is one of Lancaster’s finest examples of a Victorian Queen-Anne style commercial building. It was built as Steinman Hardware Store in 1886 by businessman / historian George Steinman and his brother-in-law George M. Franklin. The architect was Robert Gray Kennedy of Philadelphia. The building was constructed on the site of an earlier Steinman hardware store. An 1887 New Era newspaper exclaimed this was the “largest and handsomest private structure in this city.” A stained-glass window over the entry states that this store was founded in 1744 and is the oldest hardware store in the U. S. The hardware business was founded by the Steinman’s Moravian ancestors who immigrated here from Germany. The building was remodeled in 1926 with a marble storefront. Also added then was a stained-glass Conestoga wagon from the glass studio of J. Horace Rudy of York. The building has an arcaded stone-and-brick balustrade, brick pilasters, ball finials, and terra-cotta tiles. Today it is home to the Pressroom Restaurant. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/700northdukestreet daily 0.75 2023-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c415c49d-260d-44d5-97a6-97bf0decd794/700+North+Duke+Street.jpg 700 North Duke Street - 700 North Duke Street Lancaster, PA This home was built in 1907 in the French Chateauesque style for Henry Brinser Keiper and wife Lucy (Nunemaker) Keiper. Mr. Keiper was an inventor / manufacturer who owned the Champion Blower and Forge Company which was one of Lancaster’s largest factories. The firm manufactured blacksmithing equipment and drill presses. Mr. Keiper created the company in 1875 when he was 17 years old. The factory produced a rotary forge blower he invented. The house features a red tile roof, decorative sculpture, a carriage porch (porte cochere), and a carriage house. The lavish interior is relatively intact to the original. Today the house is home to law offices. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/106eastorangest daily 0.75 2023-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c312fd49-8fd0-4bc5-9cc8-26143f222209/106+East+Orange+Street.jpg 106 East Orange Street - 106 East Orange Street Lancaster, PA The 1890 Catherine Long Mansion (today’s Hamilton Club) was designed by architect James H. Warner. Catherine Haldeman Long was the only child of Judge Henry Long. She and her father gifted the 80-acre Long’s Park to the people of Lancaster.

It is a luxury boutique hotel that was first built as a tobacco warehouse. Arnold Falk of New York purchased the lot in 1881 and built a double warehouse here for tobacco storage. He sold half the building to Albert S. Rosenbaum, also of New York. The property was divided down the center by a party wall, and was occupied by both Falk and Rosenbaum for their tobacco. Local developers acquired this historic building in 2004 and converted it into a luxury boutique hotel, the Lancaster Arts Hotel. The hotel was designed to take advantage of the historic features of the original building. Many of the original brick walls survive, along with some of the original wood floors. The building showcases artwork by many local artists. The hotel’s furniture is by Pennsylvania artisans. Lancaster Arts Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/313westlibertystreet daily 0.75 2023-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/7dd0af38-0652-49f2-b723-282c15756389/313+West+Liberty+Street.jpg 313 West Liberty Street - 313 West Liberty Street Lancaster, PA A Neoclassical doorway of marble and glass provides entry into this former corporate office building of Armstrong World Industries. This international company manufactures wall and ceiling products and is based here in Lancaster County. The company moved here to Lancaster from Pittsburgh in the 1920s. This office building was built in 1926. It was next door to the firm’s linoleum factory. In 1998 Armstrong moved its headquarters from this building to its Columbia Avenue campus in Manor Township. The building was converted into a beautifully designed center for offices and business suites. The building’s brickwork includes brick jack arches and keystones. The entry has a broken-arch design with a central cartouche. The building's modillioned cornice is surmounted by a secondary cartouche. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/highpointhershey daily 0.75 2023-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/fc295f14-a2c7-400b-a47b-d7f8d2566f12/FAcebookHersheyStoryExterior.jpg High Point Hersehy - Make it stand out Above: High Point https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/15ae48f2-fac3-43d2-8919-dfcab0cd25e8/BestSkylightHersheyStory.jpg High Point Hersehy - Make it stand out Above: Stained-glass skylight and Palladian window This window is above the front door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/20c97edd-d8f0-4b16-ba3e-1e86ffaf3ed8/BestLandingCloseup.jpg High Point Hersehy - Make it stand out Above: The home’s largest stained-glass window towers over the stair landing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/9d9b2d75-cce1-4213-8aaf-f0526022dfb2/Stair+Landing.jpg High Point Hersehy - Make it stand out Above: On the stair landing.

Shaub designed this building in an Art Deco style ca. 1930. During this same era he also created an Art Deco façade for the Shaub Shoe Store on North Queen Street. His father, John Shaub, started that shoe business ca. 1880. Architect Shaub also designed Lancaster’s McCaskey High School in an Art Deco style ca. 1936. This commercial building was originally used as a women’s clothing store, as it is today. In the 1930s, during the Depression, the store passed through various owners, including Carolyn G. Wiker followed by Lillian Reynolds. This building has reeded pilasters capped with ornamental blocks, plus carved blocks in the facade’s upper corners.

Emlen Urban, was very young, in his early 20s, when he designed this relatively modest townhouse, ca. 1885. At that time this was the home of George A. and Katie Elizabeth Kiehl. They both had immigrated here from Darmstadt, Germany. Mr. Kiehl was a bottler of mineral water and beer. The 1886 Sanborn map indicated a soda-water factory at the rear of this property. The building has a corbelled-brick cornice above rows of terra-cotta ornaments. There are round arches above the third-floor windows and decorative segmental arches above the other windows. Thanks to Deb Oesch for identifying this building’s architect. 168 East King Street Lancaster, Pennsylvania https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/new-page-55 daily 0.75 2023-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/90de5679-e800-4343-9716-c1a72544065a/Glass1.jpg New Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/759c3a03-adf3-4152-a42b-aa2e4e658e5e/1905+Lamb+Studio+for+Harbaugh.jpg New Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/first-reformed-church daily 0.75 2024-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/f9bce311-7fdc-4c2c-b3aa-70e0a359be96/J+and+R+Lamb+Jesus.jpg First Reformed Church - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/1974fec1-5dce-45a8-beae-08889d34470e/Madonna+HEIC+Blurred.jpg First Reformed Church - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/ac1536b1-4178-4d5b-a12e-f07878a52778/St.+John+DNG.jpg First Reformed Church - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/850d7f0e-4bf1-4a4b-aa07-a92b282dc2b4/Schlatter+Cabin.jpg First Reformed Church - Make it stand out Above: Clergyman Michael Schlatter rides toward Lancaster’s log church house.

It was built for David M. Hess as rental property. It has been used for stores and apartments. This brick building has a bracketed cornice and nine bays separated by brick pilasters topped by blind arches. In 1921 it was purchased by builder / contractor Walter C. Zook. He made some alterations at that time. He apparently made changes to the store fronts. In the 1920s this builder, Walter C. Zook, used #313 as his office (on the left side in this photo). He built hundreds of houses in Lancaster. He also constructed many other Lancaster buildings including the Church of God building, the Capitol Theatre, and the Pennsylvania Hotel. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/frc-index daily 0.75 2024-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c11d505d-3ce1-442e-96af-9f3d27163908/Blue+Border+2.jpg First Reformed Church - Lancaster - Index - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c4dc7a84-da16-4a37-9c96-47f3fe284c1e/Log+Church+Glass.jpg First Reformed Church - Lancaster - Index - Make it stand out The Log Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/92ed56d5-393f-4beb-8501-e6c3705f052d/Stauffer+Cropped.jpg First Reformed Church - Lancaster - Index - Make it stand out The Stone Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/f1f2c683-3dc9-4500-a199-34ce632f0631/Double.jpg First Reformed Church - Lancaster - Index - Make it stand out Today’s Brick Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c2dd433d-0186-4a6d-a9ef-c48f95cdcf6d/Madonna+Composite.jpg First Reformed Church - Lancaster - Index - Make it stand out Stained Glass by Joseph G.

(…and in the hat a prayer did go, but that we no more choose.) Dialect poetry by Rev. Henry Harbaugh. Rev. Harbaugh was pastor of Lancaster’s First Reformed Church from 1850 to 1860. He led the congregation during the construction of today’s brick church which replaced the stone building. Praying into a hat was also a British tradition. “The country buck (on a Sunday) draws on a pair of corderoys, with topboots, and white cotton stockings; he adds to these a yellow kerseymere waistcoat [wool vest] and a blue coat…walks into church, says a prayer into a hat but newly purchased.” (Beatrice, A Novel, by Mary White, London, 1824.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/d1792af6-7b3c-4580-a395-99eba41ab172/Bubb+Design+Facebook+Zion+Brickerville-1.jpg First Reformed Church - Stone Building - Lancaster - Make it stand out Above: Wineglass pulpit in Zion Reformed Church, Brickerville.

Image: The Chronicles of a Reformed Church, Colin Williams. After the church bell cracked in 1784 the congregation replaced it the next year with two bells imported from London. Other accounts suggest the church also had a second bell that had cracked.The two new bells hung in a belfry newly built on the stone church building The bells were cast in London by Chapman and Mears at Whitechapel Bell Foundry. The foundry was the manufacturer of Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell. It also cast the Big Ben bell, hanging in the clock tower of London’s Houses of Parliament. The Reformed church bells weigh 854 pounds and 724 pounds. Today they hang in the brick church, which is the third Reformed church house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/c43eae21-01e8-4ddd-9ee8-d6af5e011500/Historic+Bells.jpg Bells of First Reformed UCC Church in Lancaster, PA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/ac89e5ca-724b-4887-ae79-2851f4b64b9c/Liberty+Bell.jpg Bells of First Reformed UCC Church in Lancaster, PA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/98534629-37b3-4efa-94d0-6de2e8691a3a/Big+Ben.jpg Bells of First Reformed UCC Church in Lancaster, PA - Make it stand out Above: London’s Big Ben Bell at Houses of Parliament Images: Left: Illustrated News of the World, 1859, Right: Wikimedia CC Karrackoo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/dcee268a-e812-40fa-ae09-dedac672c300/vintage+tshirt.jpg Bells of First Reformed UCC Church in Lancaster, PA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/fbca4311-97f1-4c5b-81aa-de32bd988cfe/Intell+Sharpened.jpg Bells of First Reformed UCC Church in Lancaster, PA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/peter-frederick-rothermel daily 0.75 2024-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/00c4fc40-95ed-429a-a6a2-019a59646b7b/Portrait+Smithsonian+Libraries.jpg Peter Frederick Rothermel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/0c8160bf-4f4e-43b5-a8ae-09802534ab98/Sketch.jpg Peter Frederick Rothermel - Make it stand out Above: A ca. 1866 graphite-and-watercolor sketch by Rothermel as a preliminary study for his painting of St. Paul.

It depicts Pickett’s Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg. The painting measures 32 by 16 feet. Rothermel completed it in 1870, after four years’ work. In this Harrisburg gallery the huge painting is flanked by four smaller Gettysburg Battle scenes he painted for the same commission from the Pennsylvania legislature. In the 1870s the painting toured the U. S. It survived the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871. Five years later it was exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, where Rothermel served on the art advisory committee. The painting is the largest battle scene on a single canvas in North America.

By Architect Jacob Wall. Built in 1849. Image sources above: Right: hmdb.org Left: Right: erucc.org Architect Jacob Wall Jr. of Baltimore is mostly remembered for churches he designed in the 1840s and 50s. This includes Lancaster’s First Reformed UCC building. Classical Revival was the height of architectural fashion during that era. Classical columns are signatures of that style. The UCC Church in Frederick, Maryland, is an outstanding example of Architect Wall’s Classical Revival designs. Ionic columns highlight the entry portico and the chancel. A few year later he used similar columns and pilasters for the Lancaster Reformed Church chancel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/6faf3bca-aa8f-4bd2-b4e8-960ae65c954d/Second+of+Two+Columns.jpg First Reformed Church Brick Building - Make it stand out Above: Architect Jacob Wall used these Ionic columns for his Classical Revival interior of Lancaster’s First Reformed Church in 1854. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/9d458ad5-4345-4078-bca8-d00723800cb7/First+of+Two+Columns.jpg First Reformed Church Brick Building - Make it stand out Above: A few years earlier, in 1849, Architect Jacob Wall used similar columns for the Reformed Church in Frederick, MD.

Lancaster’s Trinity Lutheran Church received its organ in 1774, a few years after the Reformed congregation received theirs. The Lutheran organ was the largest and most expensive organ in the American colonies. Both churchs’ cases were made for Tannenberg organs. The cases later had extensions added to both sides. Today the two organ cases survive in excellent form in their original Lancaster churches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/ad665c2b-e778-4b99-9e8f-e69a6197bc69/Director+2.jpg Organ - First Reformed Church Lancaster - Chippendale-Style Organ Case - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/cbb93fcc-a95f-4f81-9af6-94f9df573482/Bellflowers-arrows.jpg Organ - First Reformed Church Lancaster - Chippendale-Style Organ Case - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/304d4d0e-96d7-4c1c-9cb4-84f2ae612ca1/Two+Details.jpg Organ - First Reformed Church Lancaster - Chippendale-Style Organ Case - Make it stand out Above: Detail of George Burkhart’s organ case in First Reformed Church as it appears in the 1975 Antiques magazine article (left) and as it appears today (right). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/591e539f-c4ed-4d54-953c-e1a04e0ffdfd/atlee+house.jpg Organ - First Reformed Church Lancaster - Chippendale-Style Organ Case - Make it stand out Above: The Burkhart House.

Robert F. Keppel Sr was a pioneer Lancaster candymaker who became a nationally known confectioner. He began his career as a young boy in Lancaster pushing a cart selling “Hokey-Pokey” snowballs of shaved ice and fruit syrups. At age 11 he began working for candymaker Joseph H. Huber. By age 15 he was making chocolate Easter eggs in his parents’ home. He become one of this region’s premier candymakers. Robert Keppel moved his candy company into this building in 1916. The building had been constructed in 1913 for the tobacco business of Jacob G. Shirk, dealer in cigars, pipe tobacco, etc. This structure was the largest wholesale tobacco saleshouse in Pennsylvania. This tobacco company encountered financial difficulty, so the candy company was able to purchase this building three years after it was built. The architect was C. Emlen Urban, Lancaster’s most important homegrown architect. The building has a Beaux-Arts facade of glazed terra-cotta tile. The cornice is ornamented with modillions, console brackets, and a central cartouche. https://www.lancasterstreetscape.com/1775-organ-case-tannenberg daily 0.75 2024-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/253d7518-9b37-4425-a6c9-d161435e5aff/Organ+Case.jpg 1775 Organ Case for a Tannenberg Organ in First Reformed Church, Lancaster, PA - Make it stand out Above: The pine organ case for the former 1775 Tannenberg organ. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e125544a5dea416264264f/edddef79-fae2-443a-8855-471e8b460920/Organ+Case2.jpg 1775 Organ Case for a Tannenberg Organ in First Reformed Church, Lancaster, PA - Make it stand out Above: The organ case as illustrated in The Chronicles of a Reformed Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by F.

Above: The stove plates: A: Pharisee and Publican This stove plate tells the Bible story of the self-righteous Pharisee (the bad guy) and the humble Publican / tax collector (the good guy). The arrogant Pharisee, on the left is telling God of his virtuous deeds and how he is better than others. A tax collector (“Zoelner”) on the right is humble, and asks God for mercy. The humble heart of the tax collector won the day. This fireplace mantle also includes a Mercer tile that depicts this story, tile #14. This story of the humble tax collector appears on more Pennsylvania German pictorial stove plates that any other story. Humility turned the often-despised tax collector into a stove-plate hero.

Du Bois, archived at Mercer Museum Library. Dear Miss Helen, I am very much touched by your kind letter and the friendly thoughts you have of me - Yet almost hesitate to give you my reasons for leaving St. Paul’s Church as follows. 1. With the Quakers and Mennonites I believe that war is wicked… All the more need of Christians speaking words of peace, love & sympathy or EXPLANATION in time of crisis. 2. Hence I believe that flags and PATRIOTISM should be kept out of churches because these two things are and always have been used to stir up tyrannical and thoughtless mobs to acts of danger …so as to terrorize the minority or shame them and violate in the name of patriotism Christ’s teachings, or so as to make country or flag “First” and therefore greater than Christ… If the heads of the church won’t stop hate and war who will? If they hate more ferociously and venomously than people who are not supposed to be armed with Christ’s authority who shall teach us and where are we? I don’t feel that I am any better than the rest, but I couldn’t get any peace while sitting in the pew there for the strain and mental struggle of stifling rebellious thoughts… But with best thanks and hopes of hearing God’s word in other places where love or peace might reign. Very thankfully yours, H. C.
