Notes
  • Significance: This is a good example of a nineteenth-century Pennsylvania German family farm. Although once very prosperous, the farm failed to adjust to agricultural modernization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and became a marginal farming enterprise. Consequently, the farmers were unable to make constant improvements and the farm offers many points of study unavailable in more prosperous and improved farms.

Most importantly, because of the farm's relative stagnation in the twentieth century, the architectural and planning fabric of the farmstead ensemble (termed die Bauerei) provides a fine example of early nineteenth-century Pennsylvania German farm planning. The layout of the buildings reveals great sensitivity for the contour of the land, with the visual and functional relationships between the major farm buildings being particularly outstanding. The farmhouse and springhouse are of historical interest because of their traditional log construction, while the frame barn is noteworthy because of its unusual length and age (1788). A log smokehouse is also a rare survival among Pennsylvania German farmsteads.
