This is a large house on the southeast corner of Milford and Third Streets. The house includes two living units.

During the middle of the nineteen hundreds it served as the home of the Seven-Day Adventist Church. And Ted and Mary Bergstresser occupied the upstairs apartment.

The property has been owned for some time by Abraham and Carol (Isenberg) Harbst. Abe passed away in 2006.

This house was built about 1904 since the imprint of just the foundation appears on the Sanborn Fire Insurance Map of 1904. It is believed that the house was built by H. Clay Hower, whose lumber business was on the other side of Milford Street.

	Contributed by rkohler3 on 4/10/10 - Image Year: 1920 215 Milford Street is shown on the left of this photo. Am guessing that the photo was taken about 1920. The inscription says 3rd & North Streets. North was the common name for the street before the northern portion of the borough was acquired from Milford Township when the name was changed to Milford Street.
