Spring house, wagon shed, wood house. Hog pen and other buildings. Tenant houses for help. Plenty of good water for all. Limestone quarry and 2 kilns, with a capacity of from 30,000 to 40,000 bushels annually. The rock can be ground for fertilizer. There is a big local demand. This alone, properly operated will yield splendid return; in addition, there is a good demand for crushed rock for concrete purposes.

Built in 1904 and since occupied by the late Judge George H. Trostel. There are over a dozen fruit trees, including plum, apple, pear, cherry and peach. A large lot, a splendid vegetable garden with a never failing spring and well. The spring runs through part of the cement cellar making an ideal place to store vegetables and keep meats and dairy products cool. The place is suitable for any one who wishes to do entertaining or it would be ideal for a summer home as both concrete State Highways from Harrisburg to Gettysburg, Pa., and from Carlisle, Pa. to Baltimore, Md., go through the village. This home must be seen to be fully appreciated.
