549 North Lime Street Lancaster, PA
This Queen Anne-style house was built ca. 1900 as a double house: two dwellings in one building. If you lived on the left side of the house you had a tower. If you lived on the right side you had a cross gable and bay window.
Beginning in 1935 the house was leased by Lancaster General Hospital as a residence for nurses, for 11 years. As many as 25 nurses lived here at one time during that era. The hospital was directly across the street, as it is today.
The porch was partially enclosed sometime after the house’s construction.
