| The building which houses the York County
Heritage Trust was built in 1921 as the J. W. Richley Auto
Company. Today, the structure is better known as the Historical
Society Museum, housing over 10,000 sq. ft. of exhibitions. The
original checkered showroom floor is still present, as is a
beautiful two-story entrance hall. This Colonial Revival
building features a formal, balanced faηade, door and roofline
pediments, and flat arches with
keystones over the windows.
