Lancaster PA Buchanan Park Historic Restoration

Brian Schulman - Your Lancaster County, PA  Real Estate Professional: Real Estate Agent in Lancaster, PA

If you've passed Lancaster PA's Buchanan Park, located on Lancaster's West End at Buchanan and Race Buchanan Park, Lancaster PAAvenue, you may have wondered why the small historic building, of almost doll house proportions, is located close to the middle of the park. I had originally guessed that it might have once been a small schoolhouse.

In fact, the building is a miniature reproduction of the old Lancaster Courthouse. During World War I, war bonds were sold from this small edifice, at the time located on Penn Square.

In recent years, the building has sat unused, its paint peeling and and its cupola leaning unsteadily.

Now Lancaster City Parks and Recreation plans to straighten up the cupola, paint and make other repairs with the help of students from the Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology.

Lancaster City Parks & Recreation will conduct a study toassess whether additional structural repairs may be needed to restore the building.

Jeff Geoghan MBA - Lancaster PA Real Estate Expert: Real Estate Agent in Lancaster, PA

Yesterday at 7am was the latest in the continuing series of Lancaster PA "Tweetups" sponsored by yours truly and Daniel Klotz. This was our 11th gathering and we had a great turnout. Perhaps it was the venue - this week's event was held at the Penn Square Grille at the brand-new Lancaster County Convention Center, located on Penn Square in the heart of Lancaster City.
