110 East Liberty Street

A pivotal house. This house was built in 1843 by Dr. J. M. Lowry. The stately old home is one of the few in the Up-Country in the Tuscan villa style.

Situated in the heart of York's Historic District on nearly one acre, the 6,000 square foot Italianate house has a colorful past. In 1908, the home was purchased by a young widow, who operated a boarding house in order to support her large family of children and stepchildren.

It also once housed the "York Tea Room", where the town's business people came each day for meals served family-style at a huge dining room table. The original lot consisted of an entire block. Several original outbuildings remain in the rear; these include a carriage house and servants' quarters.

Many stories have been passed along by the descendants of previous owners.

The home has been extensively renovated by present owner-occupants Gary and Paulajo Gross.
