History
History information is some background and history about the location. This is meant to be a basic summary. Below the history records you will find sources in which you can click on to find out more information. There may be multiple history records per location.
The house at 104 Doubleday Avenue was built for the Reverend Abram Longanecker & his wife Agnes in 1939. Abram was an 1895 graduate of Gettysburg College and an 1898 graduate of the Lutheran Seminary. He spent his career traveling to local congregations and after retiring in 1940 settled here on Oak Ridge in the house which had been built with contributions by the couple’s four adult children. Agnes & Abram celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in the house on July 6, 1948 with a large family party.
With the passing of their parents, the house was inherited by the three Longanecker daughters, who converted it into three separate apartments. The home stayed in the family until it was sold and converted into a B&B in 1987. The Doubleday Inn has enjoyed continuous operation as the premiere Gettysburg bed and breakfast with just three owners since that time.
