The ‘Derby House’ pays homage to Lancaster’s jockeys racing their horses on the thoroughfare known as Lime St. In wintertime, the excitement of these races gave way to horse-drawn carriages and the ringing of sleigh-bells, kids frolicking, and the bustling of a developing community. The home clearly captures Lancaster’s historic past, while providing todays visitors a short walk to the best shops, restaurants, breweries, theaters, and the Lancaster Convention Center! The ‘Derby House’ was recently restored with thoughtful touches throughout. The space hints to a past when things were simpler while highlighting the creature comforts one demands of today's modern spaces.
