For more than 45 years, the prolific C. Emlen Urban created many of the historic landmarks that are fundamental to the beloved character of Lancaster City. His 1911-1912 Kirk Johnson Building on West King Street was home to everything pertaining to music. Items for sale ranged from pianos to dance lessons. During the 1920s, the building was even home to radio station 1160 WKJC. Click the link to learn more. https://hptrust.org/c-emlen-urban-kirk-johnson-building-on/
