43 North Shippen Street Lancaster, PA
This extraordinary home was built in 1905 by Attorney John E. Malone. He was president of the Fulton Bank and president of the Lancaster Bar Association. He was also chairman of the Democratic County Commission. His wife, the artist Laetitia Herr Malone, lived here as a widow until 1949.
The Malones built this house across the street from the home of the Steinmans, Lancaster’s prominent publishing family. This was a high-octane neighborhood, here on East Orange Street.
The architect of this remarkable Colonial Revival house is C. Emlen Urban. Thanks to Deb Oesch for identifying Emlen Urban as the architect.
