I think of this house as the PenSupreme ice cream house. The house had been owned by the Garber family, who owned the milk company that evolved into PenSupreme. In 1918 the family patriarch, Eli L. Garber, sold this home to his son, J. Ferry Garber, who then lived here with his family.
The monumental Neoclassical portico was added ca. early 20th century, along with the balcony and other exterior details.
