It was built in 1913-14 as a single-family dwelling.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a distinctive and, for the area, rare example of full Spanish Colonial/Mission style architecture in early twentieth-century Lancaster County. It is described as the finest and most intact example of this type in the county. Its interior, combining classical, colonial revival and Arts and Crafts details, is also presented as largely intact and significant.","narrative":"Built in 1913-14 for Frank Totten, a local dentist, this two-and-a-half story house on East King Street in eastern Lancaster Township is a stucco-faced example of Spanish Colonial and Mission style architecture. It has a red tile hipped roof with broadly overhanging eaves, tiled dormers, and a full-width tile-roofed enclosed porch with a porte-cochere. The house sits on a corner lot within Rohrer's East End Addition, laid out between 1892 and 1896. Its significance lies in its rarity in the region, where Colonial, Neoclassical and Tudor revivals were more common. The interior holds a range of early twentieth-century detailing, including a paneled-beamed living room, a classically detailed library, a colonial revival dining room, and stained and leaded glass with Arts and Crafts motifs. The house has a carriage house and a stuccoed wall that defines the long, narrow lot. The nomination regards it as the finest and most intact Spanish Colonial or Mission style house in Lancaster County.","period_of_significance":"1913-14","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Spanish Colonial/Mission revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Undergoing conversion to a bed-and-breakfast, with the renovation retaining significant architectural fabric.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.026715-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/89000003.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000003/694526b00e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000003/694526b00e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Totten_House_2_Lanco_PA.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Totten_House_2_Lanco_PA.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996139","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totten_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7828431"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/totten-house-89000003/"}
