History
6
Built by Colonel Leroy Springs in 1905 of red brick stretcher and common bond brick, this block has housed many of Lancaster's leading businesses. In 1936, fire destroyed the southern end of the block, which included the Hotel Royale and Lancaster Merchantile. The entire block was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in August 1984. It was restored in 1986 in conjunction with Lancaster's Main Street Revitalization program.
