History and architectural features
This historic district includes four contributing buildings which were built between 1874 and roughly 1881. All four buildings are brick buildings which were used for the processing and storage of cigar leaf tobacco. Two of the four buildings were built in 1874 and known as the C. August Bitner Tobacco Warehouse. The third was built circa 1880 as the Pritzfield & Co. Tobacco Warehouse, and the fourth was built sometime around 1881 as the Rosenbaum Tobacco Warehouse.[2] The Rosenbaum Tobacco Warehouse is now occupied by the Lancaster Arts Hotel.
This complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
