The Facebook page “Abandoned, Old or Interesting Places – Eastern PA” recently posted a number of gems from our area.

The most recent features The Wheel Pump Hotel & Cafe in Erdenheim:

Its namesake, a wheel pump, is located just off the lower porch. Built in 1735, it was a hotel or restaurant for much of its existence. In the early 2000s it was purchased by a lamp store owner. That business did not last long, and it languished on the market falling into serious disrepair. It was purchased by a construction company and fully restored for use as their offices.
