10 The Hart Buildings
22-24 North Main Street These two buildings, built in 1896 and 1900, are two of the first buildings that were constructed specifically to be used as offices. They are linked to Lenape Hall because they are part of a small group of industrial buildings found in the Borough. It was said at the time when they were built that the buildings made the handsomest block in the county. Both are designed with components of the Romanesque Revival style and the Second Empire Style. The Romanesque Revival can be seen in the vertical pilasters (both cement and brick) and the massive round arches. The Second Empire style is found in the mansard roofs, the terra cotta, and the paired windows. Go to the Table of Contents of the Tour
