Upon his father's death in 1834; Englehart assumed the role of the town's postmaster. He amassed personal wealth through several business ventures, including a lumber company. Melchinger was among the large group of Dover residents who suffered losses when Confederate cavalry under J.E.B. Stuart occupied the town on the morning of July 1, 1863, during the Gettysburg Campaign. However, the loss of horses and personal property did not have a significant financial effect, and Melchinger prospered. The home, at 5 North Main Street (Pennsylvania State Route 74), was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 1992.〔 Englehart Melchinger House from SE (rear) Dover PA.JPG|Rear view Englehart Melchinger House from S Dover PA.JPG|View from the south == See also == * National Register of Historic Places listings in York County, Pennsylvania 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Englehart Melchinger House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
