300 Harrisburg Avenue Lancaster, PA
This is the side view of the Lancaster Arts Hotel. 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.
