Downtown – Hanover, Pennsylvania
This handsome building on a corner pie-shaped lot, has a graceful rounded corner and a round tower with conical roof rising above the cornice line and through the sloped roof. Round arched windows on the second floor have banding betwen the sash and the springing of the arch.
This three-story brick building has an extra fourth floor beneath the mansard roof.
Something Wicked Brewing
The tasting room itself was handsomely appointed. People tended to gravitate more towards the bar and the high-top tables near it.
Starting outside the entrance and moving inside, it was apparent in the time that it has been open the brewery has become very tightly knit with the York, PA community. The Charity benefit card especially told the story of how they were socially connected with a number of nonprofit and community-based organizations.
These growlers were canned and sealed to order. Great way to get the product home without having to buy a six pack or something larger.
Dutch Country Restaurant
Dutch Country Restaurant features classic home cooked fare in a cozy somewhat rustic setting. The large gambrel roof structure provides for a spacious space upstairs.
Another gambrel roofed outbuilding, this one on the parking lot of Dutch Country Restaurant, had some quiet dignity to it.
In the distance behind the restaurant is a curious vernacular intersecting gable L-shaped house. The nearby warehouse has been built around the house. Perhaps a calculation was made that it was easier to retain and make usable than to demolish.
The Warehime-Myers Mansion was built over three years beginning in 1911. This was the residence for Clinton N. Myers of the Hanover Shoe Company. This Neoclassical structure has a solarium with marble floors, oak floors with an intricate Greek key design border, original chandeliers, and a basement bowling alley.
The Neas House at High and Chestnut Streets, was built around 1783 by tanner Mathias Nace. He acquired six lots of land the prior year from his brother George Nace. The residents has nine rooms, nine fireplaces, and a warming kitchen. The architecture is Federal with a five bay organization in the front. Pedimented flat window hoods are over each of the ground floor windows, reminiscent of Gibbsian Georgian details. The second floor has similar window hoods, but the pediment is unflared so as to fit beneath the dentiled cornice. Double chimneys at either end give the structure solidity, permanence, and warmth.
