This landmark dwelling is uniquely historic. 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.
