Judge Gettys Nunn House - 148
3 W. Madison St.
This house was built by Probate Judge E. Gettys Nunn in 1941. Judge Nunn was a Probate Judge of York County from 1930 until 1955. Prior to his taking office, the town had become a Gretna Green, as no waiting period was required between the issuance of a marriage license and the ceremony. During his twenty-five year tenure, Judge Nunn performed the marriage ceremony for 60,000 couples. York was known far and wide as the “Marrying Town.”
