215 East Orange Street Lancaster, PA
This historic townhouse was the home of Revolutionary War writer Christopher Marshall. He moved here in 1777 from Philadelphia when the British occupied that city. His diaries provide vivid details of life during that era.
The future U. S. president James Buchanan owned this home for 10 years, beginning in 1841. He had Lancaster residences elsewhere during that time.
The earliest parts of the building were built ca. 1750 for merchant William Jevon. The house features a recessed, paneled entry with fanlight.
