663 - 665 West Chestnut Street Lancaster, PA

This is another dramatic double house designed by Lancaster’s most important homegrown architect, C. Emlen Urban. It was built in 1892. The building is next door to two more double houses by this architect. The six units were built by developer John W. Holman.
The Queen Anne-style house features stepped gables, two pedimented dormers with swag friezes, a dentilled and bracketed cornice, and a full-length porch with paired columns and an ornate pediment.
