This three-story space exudes an urban elegance with exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and steel beams. Built in 1847, the stone building was first used as a church by the First Universalist Society of Easton until about 1860. The building was apparently vacant in 1862 when, according to news accounts, Union soldiers spent the night in the church before boarding a train headed for Harrisburg and the Battle of Gettysburg.

In 1885, William H. King opened a dry cleaning business in the building after purchasing it from the Universalists. When King died in 1918, his obituary reported that King’s Cleaners was “the largest and best known of its kind in this section of the country.”  The property changed hands again in 1924 when it was sold to Alexander Sandor Friedman, who had immigrated from Hungary to New York City as a young man and had become an early pioneer in the dry cleaning business.

For the next 83 years, people continued to drop off their shirts and pants, sweaters and suits at the Ferry Street location before the business closed in 2007.

One could say the 9,800-square-foot property was given a fresh start when Platform Five purchased it in 2016. Following a major two-year renovation, the high-end office space is now a gleaming testimony to Platform Five’s dedication to historical preservation.

    Testimonials

    Moving a business of any size is difficult, but as a small business with limited resources it can feel daunting. However, from the very first conversations with the team at Platform Five, to the ongoing support and kind words that are exchanged throughout the days, this team has made our transition seamless. Not only are requests answered, but the Platform Five team has provided a level of luxury service that we didn't think was possible. They understand that details matter, and they demonstrate it with care. I cannot thank and recommend this team enough!

    Testimonials

    I couldn’t recommend this group more! Property managers and staff are easy to work with, communication is timely and effective, and they go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need to the best of their ability. You can tell that the company is all about “quality” yet still offers a great overall value

    Testimonials

    “I lived in an apartment on Sitgreaves Street that Platform Five owned. From the first showing throughout my entire lease, property management and all of the contacts through Platform Five were kind, considerate, and understanding! I received ample time warning whenever someone would need to come through my apartment. The apartment was extremely well maintained and full of modern luxuries. I would recommend Platform Five to anyone needing an apartment!”
