The mill towns of central Pennsylvania were bustling with activity during the Industrial Revolution that revived America after the Civil War. Throughout the latter years of the 19th century towns such as Palmyra, that sprouted along major thruways and waterways, were found to be ideal locations for manufacturing plants, fisheries, tanneries and other emerging commercial and agricultural industries.

Prominent names in shoe producing-among them Kreider and Landis- - selected such small locales as Palmyra, Elizabethtown, Ephrata and Lebanon to develop factories for their growing empires and create attractive environments for their employees to live. In 1886 Jacob Landis chose Palmyra as the site for his newest factory, the J. Landis Shoe Company. Noted at the time for its impressive architecture, the massive brick complex with its solid brick construction and huge arched industrial windows, was a beacon in Palmyra's buzzing town center.

The Landis building went on to serve many purposes over the next 96 years, but when Historic Landmarks For Living transformed this once-proud, old relic into a fashionable community of 41 luxury residences in 1982, great care was taken to preserve the significant architectural details of the past and complement them with contemporary amenities and conveniences. The restored lobby became an inviting welcome, with its glass-walled tower pavilion, quarry tile floors, rich oak trim and cozy split-level design. The apartments are just as distinctive. Oversized windows and high ceilings were designed to invite plenty of natural light. Exposed brick walls, timbered beams and columns were refinished to add an aura of authenticity to the building's original purpose. And such features as gourmet kitchens, elegant baths, energy-efficient heating and air conditioning, plush wall-to-wall carpeting and decorative lighting were incorporated to make the Shoe Factory a landmark community that is in step with the most discerning residents.

Choose the innovative floorplan that best suits your needs and sense of style-spacious studio, one-bedroom and one-bedroom/den. Try the Shoe Factory on for size and you'll find plenty of room to explore your design creativity. In fact, every inch of each apartment has been designed with your complete comfort in mind.

Today, the Shoe Factory is the perfect fit for people who want it all-all the quality, all the style, all the amenities, all the convenience of living in a place that is a major step up from most other apartment communities.
