Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This historic landmark building, originally constructed as York’s post office in 1895, later became a Masonic Lodge. The Medieval stone façade on N. Beaver St. now houses the gymnasium. Positioned for redevelopment, the building offers the ability to breathe new life into its ornate architecture, including exterior turrets, stained glass, a slate roof, and a grand spiral staircase. Its location at the northeast corner of W. Philadelphia St. and N. Beaver St. anchors the epicenter of York City’s retail district, making it a prime opportunity for adaptive reuse to a multitude of high-traffic uses, including restaurant/bar, music/entertainment venue, nightclub, event space, brewery/distillery, or other assembly type uses. The interior features large, open spaces with high ceilings, large windows, wood floors, and decorative molding. A full basement with useable ceiling heights and an exterior gated courtyard are also present.

  • Historic landmark building with ornate architecture including turrets, stained glass, and slate roof, plus a grand spiral staircase.
