Keystone Auctions’ venue, former York VNA building, combines historic location and grand interior
If you’re involved in the sales of antiques, why not do business from an antique building? That’s what Keystone Auctions is doing at 218 E. Market St., York. This view of the former Visiting Nurse Association office – and Keystone’s new building – came in August shortly after opening day. The company’s website lists the next sale – a large estate on Jan. 10. ‘The main structure is believed to have been built between 1873 and 1889,’ Keystone’s website stated. ‘It’s historic location with grand interior will allow us to hold monthly auctions.’ Also of interest: First York visiting nurse made rounds on bicycle and Keystone Auctions’ venue, Part 2.

First, here’s a reminder of the building’s use for decades. This part of a group photos, including that of nurse Louise Einsig, from 1929. This panel was left in the attic of the longtime home of Visiting Nurse Association. The agency is now known as VNA Home Care, part of WellSpan. (See more photos on the second part of this series.)
