He served as chairman of the United States House Committee on Expenditures in the Department of the Interior during the Sixty-sixth and Sixty-seventh Congresses).

Hill Farm Estate was originally built in 1919 on 26 acres (110,000 m2) as the spacious and comfortable private home of Kreider and his family.

The large Federal mansion is located less than a mile north of Lebanon Valley College on Route 934 in Annville PA. Hill Farm Estate sits in a quiet, scenic county setting with trees, gardens, benches, and walkways high on a hill overlooking the Annville community.

In 1982, the mansion was restored, a wing added, and became an assisted living residence, offering a beautiful homelike setting for retired individuals.

Inside the stately Federal era mansion, there is a comfortable parlor and lounges, antiques and period reproductions that complement the carefully restored architecture.
