This Lancaster City home was built in the early 20th century in an American Foursquare design. During that era this was the home of manufacturer David L. Harnish and wife Elizabeth (Brown) Harnish.
Mr. Harnish was the founder of today’s Lancaster Paint and Glass Company. He began producing paint in 1884, and opened a paint store on South Queen Street. The company continues today on Ross Street. The firm has Lancaster County’s largest selection of glass, specialty glass, mirror, and plastic.
The house has a hipped roof, arch-top dormers, and a full-width porch with a pedimented entry.
