It is also argued to be architecturally significant as one of only four large brick tobacco warehouses in the Landisville and Salunga area.","narrative":"Built circa 1914 in Landisville, the Samuel N. Mumma Tobacco Warehouse is a three-story brick building on a raised basement with a limestone foundation and a gable roof. Its plan of open floor space, exposed timber columns and beams, and large segmental-arched cargo entrances reflects its use for storing and packing tobacco. Samuel N. Mumma, a Mennonite farmer who began dealing in tobacco by 1914, operated the business, which later became associated with the Bayuk Cigar Company around 1920. The warehouse is regarded as representative of the tobacco processing and storage industry that developed in Lancaster County in the first decades of the twentieth century, when the county grew most of Pennsylvania's tobacco. It is also one of only four large brick tobacco warehouses in the Landisville and Salunga area, and it continued processing and storing tobacco until shortly before 1975, after which it passed to other owners.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1914-1946","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"No Style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Used by J.
