Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: View At Schreibers Mill - Allentown PA
The home at 1542 Larwence Street, formerly located on the remains of the old Schreiber's Grist Mill, was a historic structure. It was originally one of the earliest model homes in the United States, brought to Allentown after the end of the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876. The wooden frame home was brought to Allentown in 1876 by Henry Leh, one of the founders of H. Leh & Company. Leh, along with W. R. Lawfer, the original owner of the Zollinger-Harned Department Store, travelled to Philadelphia following the close of the Exposition and purchaced a number of surplus buildings at a public sale. Leh supervised a group of workmen to disassemble the home piece by piece. The home was then loaded on mule teams and transported to the Philadelphia train depot, and transported to Allentown where it was reconstructed exactly as it was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition. |
