Description: Demuth Tobacco Shop in Lancaster, Pennsylvania at 25 E. King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Claims to be the oldest tobacco shop in the United States. Founded by Christopher Demuth in 1770 and operated by him until 1815. At least 5 generations of the Demuth family operated the store though at least 1937. Also home of the modernist painter Charles Demuth (unclear whether his studio was in this building or next door). Now an art museum of Charles Demuth's paintings. Also part of the Lancaster Historic District on the NRHP since November 15, 1979. The historic district is roughly bounded by Howard Avenue, Queen, Church, Duke, Chestnut and Plum Streets.
