Summary
Book provides reader with a short biography of Urban. A brief description of the red brick architectural appearance of Lancaster up to 1880s. Urban's designs changed the colonial appearance of Lancaster because he had access to modern technology: structural steel, cast iron, plate glass which allowed him to design taller buildings with larger windows. Book identifies as Urban's designs: one market; one municipal building; two churches; three schools; four mansions (including Urban's home on Buchanan Ave). Each structure is identified with a description, location and year built; picture of structure; brief biography of person for whom building was named. One page provides the reader with architectural terms.Good reference book.

Admin/Biographical History
On 22 February 1878, Peter Watt, James Shand and Gilbert Thompson advertised the opening of a new store, The New York Store, featuring new lines of foreign and domestic dry goods as well as fancy goods and notions. The New York Store opened on 9 March 1878 and was an immediate success focusing on customer service. The owners had an unwritten policy stating that they remained open until the last customer left. During that first year, partner Gilbert Thompson died. Watt and Shand purchased a building located at 8-10 East King Street and changed their name from The New York Store to Watt, Shand and Company. Then during 1885, the store name was shortened to Watt & Shand even though the business was expanding to acquire 6 East King Street. The Ladies' Ready-To-Wear Department was added in 1889 which included coats, suits, dresses, and underwear. The owners proceeded to expand the business over several decades and procured Appel & Weber jewelry store and Hager's Department Store during the 1950s and 1960s. The branch store opened in 1970 at Park City Mall. The Bon-Ton Stores purchased Watt & Shand in 1992 and the store officially closed in March of 1995
