Charlie Wagner's Cafe is a small historic building located in the shadow of the Lancaster County Courthouse in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. From 1891-1963 the building housed a bar, rather than a cafe, and a few hotel rooms. It has also served as a warehouse for a nearby department store and now houses lawyers' offices.[2]
The building was designed by noted Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban. It has three-stories designed in the Romanesque Revival style, and surprisingly combines elements of the Queen Anne style. It is constructed of brick with cut-stone and terra cotta elements and pressed metal details. The corner entrance is recessed with a cast-iron column supporting a pair of brick arches. A pyramidal roof also emphasizes the corner, making it appear to be a tower.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
