Brook Leaf Love Nest tree house known as Hellam honeymoon spot


This well-known image of Hellam Township tree house has greeted many postcard hunters over the years. Background postcard posts: Striking architecture lined York’s South Duke Street, Can anyone locate this ballpark? and Postcards tell story of York County community.

Fellow blogger June Lloyd tells the story of Brook Leaf Tree House in her post: Hellam Tree House Makes the Movie News Reels.
The tree house has been gone for years, but is the tree still standing?… .


June’s short answer about the tree that held this honeymoon house: Wait until the leaves fall then maybe we’ll know.
She promises to blog if it’s visible so visit Universal York in the fall.
Or maybe more often.
