| Another
style brought by the German settlers is the German Colonial
Style. Features of this style include a steeply pitched gable
roof, usually with a kick at the bottom, a central chimney, and
a two-story attic. These buildings were usually for bays
(windows) wide. A nice example of this style can be found off
South Penn Street near the Codorus Creek. This building, listed
on the National Register of Historic
Places, is known as the
Cookes House.
