This important Colonial-Era farmhouse is a rare survivor in Lancaster’s urban Southeast. The German-Georgian house was built ca. 1761 - 1763 by farmers Henry and Ann (Neff) Musser.
Henry Musser was a son of Mennonite immigrants Hans and Veronica Musser. The Mussers developed this land to create the first homes and streets in this neighborhood.
The house features stone segmental arches and 12-over-12 sash on the first floor, and three pedimented dormers. The entry lacks its transom window and has a modern fanlight instead.
