1860 Buildings 1-10 in East Region of Springettsbury Township
Within this illustration, I’ve pointed out ten 1860 buildings and their corresponding location on a 1937 aerial photo. I’ll work my way around Springettsbury Township, ten buildings at a time, until all buildings from 1860 are visited. The present commercial corridors will be visited first. See the post: Springettsbury Township building tally during 1860, for my specification of the four regions.

Shearer’s 1860 Map of York County contains the owner/occupant of most buildings; for example (e9) is J. Frietz. Additional information on J. Frietz can be found by consulting the 1860 Census of the United States; where one discovers this is 50-year-old farmer John Fritz.
The results after consulting 1860 Spring Garden Township census records are shown below. Spring Garden Township records must be used because Springettsbury Township was formed from the northeast part of that township on April 20, 1891. The order of visitation, of the census taker, often provides assistance on who are neighbors and the tabulation of “value of real estate” separates the landowners from the renters or tenants:
Four of these 1860 buildings still stand at these present addresses:
- [e2] – 3901 Stuart Drive
- [e6] – 3601 Concord Road
- [e8] – 1755 Williams Road
- [e10] – 3400 Concord Road (on York County Prison property)
My goal is to get community involvement. If anyone has a story associated with past owners of these properties, please post a comment.
