The building at 200 N. West End Ave. has been listed for sale at $2.9 million for about a year, campus administrator Paul Taylor said.

Monaghan Township-based Presbyterian Senior Living purchased the home in 2009. The 32 residents last month moved to The Long Community at Highland, the company's independent-living community in development in Manheim Township, Lancaster County.

Last week Long Community's board decided to keep the Long Home property and redevelop it into income-based apartments for seniors 55 and older, Taylor said.

The company will pursue historic preservation tax credits and plans to renovate the building in the future, he said.

No price or timeline have been set for the project because it's early in the process, he said.

"The decision was based on the mission of Presbyterian Senior Living to provide affordable housing and care to seniors," Taylor said. "This is really living up to the original mission from Judge Henry Long to be able to provide those types of services within the city of Lancaster."
