It was built around 1870 as the residence of sawyer Redferd Segers.","why_significant":"The house is presented as a locally unusual, elaborate example of eclectic rural village domestic design that combines Stick, Gothic Revival, Italianate and Shingle style features. Its interior woodwork of native hardwoods, curved stair and marbleized slate mantels are cited as especially notable, and it is described as the best-preserved nineteenth-century domestic building in Crenshaw.","narrative":"Built around 1870 in the village of Crenshaw, Pennsylvania, this two-and-a-half-story frame house was the residence of Redferd Segers, a sawyer who worked the timberlands of north-central Pennsylvania after arriving from Maine. Its exterior combines Stick-style trim, Italianate sandwich brackets, and Gothic Revival pointed-arched gable windows. The most celebrated feature is the interior, which uses lavish native hardwoods such as walnut, cherry and oak, including a floor of alternating walnut and oak boards. The house also has a curved stair rising to the third story, reeded trim with bull's-eye corner blocks, and original marbleized slate mantels in the parlor and dining room. Segers's two daughters later occupied the house, one of whom taught at the nearby Crenshaw School for 33 years. The house is valued as a rare survivor of lumber-era domestic building in a small rural community. Its exterior has been re-sided in vinyl and fitted with modern shutters.","period_of_significance":"c. 1870","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian/Stick/Eastlake; Mid-19th Century/Gothic Revival; Late Victorian/Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The exterior has vinyl siding and non-historic shutters, and the rear porch has been enclosed; the interior is described as nearly unaltered.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:36.119637-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/00000447.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000447/ce52542374-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000447/ce52542374-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Redferd_Segers_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Redferd_Segers_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998172","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redferd_Segers_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7305821"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/jefferson-county/segers-redferd-house-00000447/"}
