It is part of the Laney's Feed Mill complex.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the warehouse is significant for engineering under Criterion C, as a heavily framed structure built to handle large loads of freight transferred between the Pennsylvania Canal and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Its heavy sawn timber framing is described as a good example of engineering technique and is said to be most comparable to barn framing. It is regarded as significant at the local level.","narrative":"Built in 1863 by the Pennsylvania Railroad for the local freight partners Lloyd and Henry, this two-and-a-half story warehouse stood between the Pennsylvania Canal and the railroad at Huntingdon, where goods were moved from boat to rail. Its frame is unusually heavy: 10 by 12-inch posts, 12 by 12-inch posts along the center, and a roof of timber trusses that spans the upper floor without intermediate supports. Henry later became sole owner. A contemporary account describes it as the largest and busiest warehouse along the canal, with as many as forty men loading and unloading at once. After the 1889 Johnstown Flood, the railroad moved its tracks onto the filled canal bed, and the warehouse was relocated about 450 feet to a site behind Henry's mill. The building is listed for its engineering, as a well-preserved example of large timber framing for freight handling. Its exterior has been covered with sheet metal, fiberglass and other materials.","period_of_significance":"1863","architect_builder":"Pennsylvania Railroad","architectural_style":null,"criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still located adjacent to the railroad in Huntingdon and still used as a warehouse.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:35.67884-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/90000397.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000397/fe7399de04-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000397/fe7399de04-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Generic1139","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lloyd_and_Henry_Warehouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Generic1139</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:Lloyd_and_Henry_Warehouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993031","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_and_Henry_Warehouse","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6662833"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/huntingdon-county/lloyd-and-henry-warehouse-90000397/"}
