History and architectural features

This district includes 206 contributing buildings and one contributing site that are located in the central business district and surrounding residential areas of Strasburg, including notable examples of German, vernacular, Georgian and Federal architectural styles that were built using log, brick, limestone, and sandstone. Some of these structures date to before 1815. ^[2]

The building at 33 East Main Street, now known as the Limestone Inn, was built in 1786. It was the home of Strasburg's first chief burgess (mayor) and served as the first post office beginning in 1805. As many as fifty students from the Strasburg Academy boarded in the house from 1839 to 1860. ^[3]
