Warehime-Myers Mansion Mansion

The Myers Mansion was built over a period of three years, beginning in 1911, as the residence of Clinton N. Myers of Hanover Shoe Company. William Warehime grew up across the street from the Myers Mansion and had long admired the neo-classical structure. The mansion remained in the Myers family until 1997 when Mr. Warehime purchased it from Molly Powl Myers, a granddaughter, who lived in Montana. Mr. Warehime generously donated the Warehime-Myers Mansion at 305 Baltimore Street in Hanover, its contents and the grounds to the Hanover Area Historical Society along with an endowment for the conservation of the properties.

Neas House – 1783

The historic Neas House at Chestnut and High Streets in Hanover is a Georgian residence built around 1783 by Mathias Neas, a tanner who acquired six lots from his brother, George Neas, in November 1782. The property eventually was acquired by their eldest son also named George. It was George Neas Jr. who expanded the family interest into politics and other activities.George and Catherine’s daughter, Amanda Neas, was the last Neas to live in the Neas House. Amanda has left us quantities of objects from the old house through her present day descendants.
