445 College Avenue Lancaster, PA

This townhouse was built ca. 1900 in the American Foursquare architectural style. The house faces the Shadek-Fackenthal Library at F. and M. College.
For many years in the early 1900s this was the home of shoe-store owner Benjamin W. Shaub and wife Mildred (Stulb) Shaub. Mr. Shaub also was a director of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and was a director of the Conestoga Savings and Loan Association.
The Shaub shoe store at 18 North Queen Street was started in 1880 by Mr. Shaub’s father, John Shaub.
