Harold's Furniture Store, 4-6 West King Street, Lancaster, Lancaster County, PA
Summary
Significance: Harold's Furniture Store is the finest and largest of three known examples of Second Gothic Revival style commercial architecture in Lancaster and surrounding counties and is the work of noted Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban (1863-1939). Harold's represents a successful attempt by Urban to interpret the perpendicular Gothic style for use with commercial high rise structures as made popular by Cass Gilbert's Woolworth Building (1910-1913) in New York City.
