924 Marietta Avenue Lancaster, PA
This Tudor Revival house in Lancaster City was built in 1916 for newlyweds Loneita (Straub) Hartman and John Ives Hartman. That same year the bride’s parents deeded the house to her for one dollar.
The groom, John I. Hartman, was a Princeton graduate. He was an executive with his father’s umbrella manufacturing company in Lancaster: Folmer, Clogg, and Co. The couple lived in this home for decades, and raised their children here.
Loneita Hartman was active with the American Red Cross. Her husband later became associated with the Bearings Company of America. He also owned Barr-Hurst Bookstore.
Half-timbered revivalist architecture of this type was sometimes described as “Old English” during that era.
