Description

Mahon Haines built the Shoe House, York County's famed roadside attraction, to promote his chain of shoe stores and attract Lincoln Highway motorists off the busy road. "He began on a shoe string," the Saturday Evening Post said, "which he tied into a long string of shoe stores." The 75-year-old Shoe has served as a honeymoon place, an ice cream parlor and many other things. Today, it’s been re-laced into a work boot-shaped Vrbo vacation rental venue. Hometown History’s Jamie and Domi talk about this intriguing place inside and out in Episode 3.5.
