DescriptionThe historical Conestoga House has been one of the most beloved gems of the Lancaster area since the early 1800s, when it was originally used as a tavern for the Conestoga wagon trade between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and then as an inn in the 1840s. Purchased and remodeled in 1927 by the late James Hale Steinman and Louise McClure (Tinsley) Steinman, this three-story Colonial revivalist mansion still maintains much of the same beauty, grandeur, and elegance as it did in the early 20th century. The 12-bedroom, 9,688-square-foot estate has been adored, not just by the friends, family, and guests who enter, but the entire community as well. The property is famous for its 7.8 acres of impeccably maintained grounds and gardens featuring over 3,300 annuals, about 400 tropical plants, over 160 varieties of perennials and over 160 rose bushes representing almost 20 different varieties of the flower. Spend the warm summer days splashing in the vast 60-foot in-ground pool, or strolling along the wide variety of gardens and greenhouses across all 7.8 acres. 自 19 世纪初以来,历史悠久的 Conestoga House 科内斯特加庄园一直是兰卡斯特地区最受人喜爱的瑰宝之一,最初它被用作费城和匹兹堡之间科内斯特加马车贸易的酒馆,后在 19 世纪 40 年代被改造成旅馆。这座三层楼的殖民复兴主义楼房由已故的 James Hale Steinman 和 Louise McClure (Tinsley) Steinman 于 1927 年购买和重新装修,仍然保持着与20 世纪初一样的华美和优雅气质。庄园占地 9,688 平方英尺,内设 12 间卧室,不仅将深受亲朋好友以及其他入住客人的喜爱,连整个社区都为之向往。庄园以其 7.8 英亩精心养护的草地和花园而闻名,种植超过 3,300 种一年生植物、约 400 种热带植物、超过 160 种多年生植物和超过 160 簇玫瑰丛(含玫瑰品种近 20 个)。在 60 英尺的地下宽敞游泳池中悠度盛夏,或在占地 7.8 英亩的各式花园和温室中漫步。
