West Manchester’s Jan Watt is living the dream in her restored West Manchester farmhouse - the Peter Wolf House. “It’s almost like I see it new every day,” she told the YDR several years ago. That, despite the view of a gas station from her bedroom window and the rumble of cars speeding by, as the YDR reported some years ago. The old farmhouse that Watt and her husband, Steve March, have restored - and are restoring - is surrounded by a Rutters (and soon a Wawa), a warehouse, a car dealership and its former barn, now a commercial site. The Peter Wolf House, thus, tells a story of York County and its transition from a key role in an agricultural community to standing in a mishmash of commercial and residential development. And yet, this testament to York County’s farming past rises tall today thanks to the perseverance of its owners.
