Cloister buildings - the Brother House. Ephrata is a secluded little place about 15 miles from Lancaster, most noted in the tourist's eye because of the group of buildings of the German Seventh-Day Baptists or Dunkers, dating from about 1732. These structures are great steep-roofed houses, several stories in height and dotted with many small windows. The former Brother House is a rambling building, no longer used for its original purpose.
