"Delay Rewarded", named by, and originally deeded to, German immigrant, Phillip Kreber, a wagon maker in York, in 1767, from the William Penn heirs. This home has been maintained from its original "German stone cabin" design, through many period changes and additions to make it the wonderfully livable rural estate of today. The character of its origins have been preserved and merged with contemporary functionality to make it into a York County classic.
