1008 Buchanan Avenue Lancaster, PA
Lancaster’s favorite homegrown architect, C. Emlen Urban, built this fine Colonial Revival house for his retirement home in 1926. He passed away here on May 21, 1939, in his 77th year. Emlen’s wife Jennie held a private funeral service for him here in their home, at 1008 Buchanan Avenue.
The couple previously lived across the street in another Colonial Revival home which Emlen designed in 1914. It is at 1009 Buchanan Ave. Both homes are located in Lancaster City. Lancaster Township begins a few lots to the west.
