| This stately Colonial Revival structure
features a Neoclassical entrance with colossal
portico with
Ionic columns. It was built in 1941 in celebration of York’s
200th Anniversary. Of note, the cupola was inspired
by the one on the York County Courthouse, and the lobby was
inspired by Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. Frederick
Dempwolf was architect of this stately building. Architectural
features include pedimented
portico with modillion
course,
keystones above windows, pedimented main entrance, and raised
basement.
