History and architectural features

Built between 1799 and 1801, this historic structure is a two-story, fifteen-bay wide, stuccoed, stone building. It has a full width front porch with Tuscan order columns that added roughly between 1875 and 1876. The same renovation added Gothic Revival-style details.

It has been in continuous ownership by Lancaster County since its construction. Built as a poor house, it was used as the House of Employment until 1876, when it was converted to a hospital. It later housed county offices.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
