can home because this is
something it never was.
For instance: instead of
hanging homey window
curtains, he used solid
shutters which would have
been used in an early
business. Instead of wall
papering and painting for
partitions and wall treat-
ment, he used the more
rustic texture of old barn
siding, butter plastering
and stretched burlap. In-
stead of rebuilding the
front of the structure, he
let the industrial appear-
ance remain.
All this adds to the
unique flavor of the proper-
ty and serves as a fitting
environment for his antique
business. He especially en-
joys this residence because
its open architechure does-
n’t dictate the exact way
the interior must be fur-
nished and decorated.
The property has been
recognized by Winterthur
Museum as a fine example
of Georgian style industrial
architechure. Structually,
much of the building is
original except for an area
in the rear which was built
to overlook the garden.
This is Harry Hartman’s
ninth restoration, the last
being the White Swan (also
located on E. Front Street).
When asked how he can
move after putting so much
work into a building, he
replied that he sees each
restoration as a piece of
artwork. When he feels it’s
finished he must move on
to another challenge.
The Overlander house
features original woodwork
and fireplaces, and all
additions are in keeping
with its early Nineteenth
Century style. Unlike hou-

ses that lose their ‘‘homi-
ness’’ in restoration, this
house is very inviting. The
two blazing fireplaces,
many plants, brightly spat-
tered and stencilled floors
are all cheerful touches.
The owner also added
windows to brighten some
areas. One of these is an
attractive paladium type
which becomes the focal
point of a third story room.
Modern kitchen conven-
iences, including the re-
frigerator, are concealed by
weathered wood cabinets
Oliver built out of barn
siding. Another unusual
piece of woodwork is the
turnings that accent the top
of the fence in the front of
the property.
Oliver's yard has an
open feeling that is accent-
ed by a stone sculpture, a
stone wall, many interest-
ing trees, and an open
picket fence which defines
part of the yard.
The Hartman yard is
patterned after a courtyard
with brick work and ground
covers surrounded by un-
usual evergreens and
shrubs. Large potted plants

Proposed agenda for Mount Joy
The proposed agenda for
the Mount Joy Borough
Council meeting to be held
on Monday, January 10,
1977, at 7:30 p.m., in the
Borough Offices Building,
21 East Main Street,
Mount Joy, is as follows:
1. Receive a report from
the Public Safety Commit-
tee on the petition to
establish a school zone on
Marietta Avenue.
2. Appoint individuals to
the various boards and
commissions of Council.
3. Hold the first reading
of Ordinance No. 388
reducing the tax collector’s
,compensation.
4. Consider adopting the
back room of the house
create a nice transition
from house to garden.
Between the houses is a
large plot of rhododen-
drons. The interesting
mingling of evergreen tex-
ture in both yards was a
pleasing sight even in
mid-winter as snow -capped
much of the foliage.
Both properties are ex-
thaordinary examples of
what can happen when two
creative talents work to-
gether to form a master-
piece of planning a de-
sign.

S. Discuss the proposed

commended by the Bor-

sion.
Joycee-ettes hold Dec. meeting and dinner
The Mount Joy Joycee-
ettes held the December
membership meeting in the
form of a progressive
Christmas dinner. It was a
most enjoyable evening of
food and fellowship and a
most delightful way to
spread the Christmas spirit
among friends.
The club welcomed Em-
ily Foley as a new member.
Babysitting directories
are available in various
locations throughout the
community. Fashion show
plans are underway. Co-
chairmen for this project to
be held in the spring are
Harriet Ney and JoAnne
Fry. Deb Newcomer and
Sharon Funk are finalizing
plans for the Sweetheart
Baby Contest to be held in
February. Look for further
information in future artic-
les.
A bowling party is being
planned for the children of
the Messiah Home. Pat
Moran, Cheryll Hallgren,
and Nancy Nestleroth are
this year’s chairmen for the
75 plus banquest to be held
in June. Committees are to
be formed for the Club-
women’s Tea and Award.
Cheryll Hallgren and Shar-
on Funk are co-chairing
this club project.
The program for the
evening was provided by
the East Petersburg Wo-
man’s Club. They present-
ed a fashion show and
dialogue entitled, Plain
Folks. It was most enjoy-
able and educational.
