It also cites the building's architectural integrity, its intact residential interior, and its carved woodwork, including pendant pineapple canopies, as notable features.","narrative":"Built in 1874 on West King Street in Lancaster, this three-story brick building combines a commercial storefront on the ground floor with a residence above. Henry Krauskop, who ran a cigar box manufacturing business here from about 1870, sold his products from the first floor until his death in 1876. The building is regarded as the most intact combined commercial and residential structure in Lancaster City from the period c. 1860-1880. Its pressed brick facade has a bracketed wooden cornice, a storefront with panelled pilasters, and window canopies carved with pendant pineapples, a motif considered unique in the city's Victorian woodwork. The residential interior retains a walnut staircase with turned balusters, original double doors, and a slate mantel in the second-floor parlor. The adjoining small storefront, built about 1886-1888, is linked to the main building in style. Together they reflect the local tobacco economy of the late nineteenth century.","period_of_significance":"c. 1860-1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The document describes the building as in good, altered condition, with its storefront and residential interior largely original; current use is not stated.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:32.751301-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/82001539.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001539/d6229afe4e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001539/d6229afe4e-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Krausekopf.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Krausekopf.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"01000956","name":"Lancaster City Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/lancaster-city-historic-district-01000956/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996081","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Krauskap_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15223673"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/krauskap-henry-house-and-store-82001539/"}
