YorksPast

Even though Dollar General is no longer considering the 3790 East Market Street property, formerly Ettline Antiques, to tear down for one of their stores; the ca. 1875 estate is still for sale.  After the following Ettline property remarks, I include a linked index to previous Springettsbury Township related YorksPast posts.

In a series of posts, I looked at the history of various families, structures and businesses in the area where the humpback bridge once stood on the Lincoln Highway at Stony Brook.  The initial five parts in this series centered around this ca. 1875 estate and the land upon which it sits:

• The Humpback Bridge at Stony Brook, Part 1: Ettline’s Antiques
• The Humpback Bridge at Stony Brook, Part 2: John and Sarah Hauser Family
• The Humpback Bridge at Stony Brook, Part 3: John and Hannah Hauser Family
• The Humpback Bridge at Stony Brook, Part 4: Henry and Nancy Hauser Family
• The Humpback Bridge at Stony Brook, Part 5: The John H. Hauser 1850 Homestead

In part 1 we learned that the house at 3790 East Market Street was almost certainly built by Henry C. Hauser between 1875 and 1889; and likely closer to the low end of that range, when most of his children were still at home.

In part 2, I looked at 1900 Census records to understand how many people might be residing in the house that eventually was part of Ettline’s Antiques.  I also looked at family history of the John and Sarah Hauser Family of Hellam Township because all the Hausers in the Stony Brook area descend from three of their sons.

In part 3, I wrote about John H. Hauser; his was the first Hauser Family in the Stony Brook area in 1850.  He owned the sizable farm and Grist Mill; land upon which the house at 3790 East Market Street would be built about three decades later.

In part 4, I wrote about the family of Henry C. Hauser; the next owner of that land and the person almost certainly responsible for building the house that eventually was part of Ettline’s Antiques.  We also learned that the John H. Hauser homestead farm was 105-acres in size.

In part 5, I used a 1919 deed to determine all boundaries of the 105-acre John H. Hauser 1850 Homestead.  The 1937 Aerial Photo of Stony Brook area, at the beginning of this post, has the John H. Hauser ca. 1850 homestead property highlighted.
