Built by J. A. Dempwolf in 1917-1918 for the Emerton Family of York, Pennsylvania this Jacobethan style Victorian mansion and grounds will invite you into a time when fortunes were made and lost in the blink of an eye.

This elaborate stone beauty contains many unique features of architecture, stone masonry and wood working.  Mr. Emerton spared no expense in creating a lasting masterpiece of grandeur and beauty that has intrigued passers by along George Street for nearly a century.

Hear the story of the Emerton family who went from employee at York Metal and Alloy to an overnight millionaire and then becoming penniless within 5 years.

This exquisite example of the splendor of early Twentieth Century decor,  it was the most expensive building constructed to date at the time of its planning.  Costing 220,000 in 1917, today would cost close to 3.75 Million dollars.

This beauty has endured through loving care by its later owners and the painstaking restoration that was necessary to bring this beauty back to its original state after a devastating fire gutted its north west corner in 2003.
