This classic townhouse began its life as a one-story brick house built ca. 1834 by home builder Jacob Hensel. The second floor was added ca. 1920s.
Several generations of Hensels lived in this home in the 1800s. The prosperous Hensel family of carpenters built countless Lancaster townhouses during that era.
The house features a modillioned and dentilled cornice, pedimented dormers, and a fanlight over the entry.
