The George Nace (Neas) House was built circa 1783 by tanner Mathias Nace (Neas), who had acquired six lots of land during the prior year from his brother, George Nace (Neas). The home and land were subsequently acquired by George Nace (Neas), Jr., who served as Hanover's third postmaster between 1790 and 1813 prior to becoming the town's first burgess in 1815, as well as a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. This historic property is a 2½ story, brick, Georgian-style dwelling, erected on a rubble fieldstone foundation. It features double chimneys and a steep gable roof, and has Federal-style details.
