The Dempwolf-designed York County (Pa.) Courthouse, one of York County’s most architecturally significant buildings is photographed soon after its turn-of-the-20th-century construction. York County is known for its diverse architecture<\/a>. (See video link below demonstrating this diversity.) Also of interest: Coca-Cola out in Springetts… self-storage space is real thing <\/a> and York’s housing stock not that revolutionary<\/a> and Virtual York offers colorful tour of York’s past<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe greater York area has long boasted of its Colonial heritage, which might suggest it’s filled with Colonial-era building and houses.
\nNot so.
\nMuch of its architecture comes from the Victorian era – from Dempwolf-designed<\/a> Market Street structures to working-class rowhouses<\/a>… .<\/p>\n


\nIn fact, that caused one newspaper columnist – Gordon Freireich of the York Sunday News – to urge the framing of York’s image around a Victorian theme<\/a>.
\nAuthor and blogger Scott Butcher <\/a>has helped show the diversity of York’s architecture under and outside this large Victorian umbrella with a post putting forth a video primer of 40 styles and sub-styles of local architecture.
\nClick on Scott Butcher’s blog post here<\/a> to learn more about York’s diverse architecture.
