420 West Chestnut Street Lancaster, PA
A graceful Colonial Revival porch is the highlight of this home on Chestnut Hill. The porch was added ca. 1920. The main house was built ca. 1854.
Classical columns support the porch. The house has keystoned lintels, a tripartite dormer with modillioned pediment, and an elliptical fanlight and sidelights over the entry. A one-story section extends to the side. The house faces West Lawn, across the street, which is one of the most monumental houses in this neighborhood.
In the late 1800s this was the home of Rev. John G. Fritchey and wife Mary Hendel Fritchey. Rev. Fritchey was a prominent pastor with the Reformed Church.
