History
Thomas E. Franklin sold the Harrisburg Avenue lot to Arnold Falk of New York in September 1881. Falk built a 3.5-story tobacco warehouse and sold half to Albert S. Rosenbaum. The combined Falk and Rosenbaum warehouse stored tobacco until circa 1945, then paper, twine, and electronics. In 2004 developers bought one of four remaining warehouses in the Harrisburg Avenue Tobacco Historic District and opened Lancaster Arts Hotel in 2006.
