Schrank, Lancaster or Chester County. 108 inches high, 76 wide. Very unusual broken arch crown moldingm and rare twisted column in center. Similar iron pulls were on the Old Valley Inn, near York, Pennsylvania. Doubtless rep-Revolutionary. Courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Richard Flanders Smith. Photograph copyright by Lewis J. Matt III
