History and architectural features

[edit]

These historic structures are three-story, brick townhouses that were built starting in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. They were erected following the burning of Chambersburg by the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. Individual townhouses have undergone various additions and modifications since that time.[2]
