On Feb. 27, House on the Rock Family Ministries purchased the property at 10-18 N. Market St., Elizabethtown, from the Elizabethtown Lodge 596 Loyal Order of the Moose. The Moose commissioned highly decorated Lancaster architect Cassius Emlen Urban to design the building, which has been a hallmark of downtown Elizabethtown since it was constructed in 1924. Urban is well-known for his Classical Revival design, and his work can be seen in other local historical buildings such as Milton Hershey’s mansion, the Hershey Community Center Building, Stevens High School, and the former Watt & Shand Department Store building in downtown Lancaster, which is now home to the Lancaster County Convention Center and Marriott. The Moose building was constructed by the Hoffer Bros. See House On The Rock pg 5
