214 North Pine Street Lancaster, PA

This gambrel-roofed carriage house, built in 1891, was designed by C. Emlen Urban, Lancaster’s favorite home-grown architect. The carriage entry doors are around the corner, facing the alley.
The carriage house is located behind a Queen Anne-style townhouse designed by Emlen Urban for David Rose and wife Emma (Rudy) Rose. Mr. Rose owned an umbrella factory. Both the residence and carriage house here are finished with half-timbering and pebble-dash masonry. Modern siding covers those details on the main house.
By 1915 the Rose family owned a Ford Runabout, so they sold their horses and carriages that year. Today this carriage house is a three-bedroom residence.
