....if the walls could talk...you may hear about President Eisenhower visiting to play golf, about one working with Albert Einstein and the Manhattan Project, about ties to Samuel Schmucker, who founded Gettysburg College and Seminary or family members that started The York Telephone and Telegraph Company and York Wallpaper....but mostly how this historic beauty longs to be loved again by the new owner.
