| In 1819, a Pennsylvania German family
(Miller) erected a barn and farmhouse east of York. They would
go on to play a major role in York County’s agrarian heritage.
In 1936 a fire—believed started by spontaneous composition of
the roof—destroyed much of the building. However, the
foundation and some timbers remained, and the barn was rebuilt.
In 1989, a local architectural firm—NuTec Design—was
retained to renovate the historic building and adapt it to new
use as an office. The building is now known as the Concord
Corporate Center, and is a 17,000 sq. ft. juxtaposition of
modern office space into unique historic surroundings.
