It remains on its original site.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the best houses of its period in Southern York County, with early Federal details, an unusual double chimney, and Maryland and German influences. It is linked to George Nace, Hanover's first mayor, a tanner and Federalist legislator who was an early postmaster.","narrative":"Built of hand-made brick laid in Flemish bond, this 2½ story house in Hanover, York County, was probably constructed around 1795 on a rubble stone foundation. It is symmetrical, with a center hall and open staircase, and retains early Federal features including a dentiled bed molding, molded keystones over stone flat arches, and two-spindle-per-tread stair spindles. Its double chimneys, which project above the gable walls, reflect influence from Maryland, where its first owner, tanner George Nace, traveled regularly for business. Nace later served as Hanover's first mayor after the town was incorporated in 1815, was Postmaster under two presidents, and sat in the state Legislature from 1807 to 1810. The house is considered one of the largest early houses in the area. Its ground floor has been altered, and the building served as a store in the late nineteenth century.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Fair condition; altered ground floor used as a warehouse for building materials","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.714375-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/72001181.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72001181/80084f3648-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72001181/80084f3648-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nace_House_Hanover_YorkCo_PA_4.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nace_House_Hanover_YorkCo_PA_4.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"96001552","name":"Hanover Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/hanover-historic-district-96001552/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995750","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Nace_(Neas)_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5542776"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/york-county/nace-neas-george-house-72001181/"}
