48 North Prince Street Lancaster, PA
Music was very vinyl during the heyday of this record store. A vintage sign above the door explains that the store is home to Stan’s phonos and records.
This music shop was founded in 1953 by band leader James Andrew Kerner. He opened record stores in Lancaster and Columbia.
The next owners of this store were band leader Stanley Lewis Selfon and wife Tillie (Prouser) Selfon. The shop became known as Stan’s Record Bar. Mark Glessner then purchased the store in 1985. The store continues today.
A central entry leads to apartments above the store. There is a dentilled cornice with end brackets. Double windows have keystoned jack arches. Brick pilasters flank the façade.
