It was built in 1940-41 for Roy L. Geesey and was probably the first house designed by architect George Samuel Flickinger.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a good example of Colonial Revival country residential architecture in York County, noted for its solid construction, sophisticated interior detailing and asymmetrical Third Period plan with an integrated garage. It is also described as likely the largest house built in the York area from the start of the Depression until fairly recently, and as Flickinger's largest early house.","narrative":"Built in 1940-41 in Windsor Township near Red Lion, Chestnut Hill is a two-story Colonial Revival house set near the crest of a hill at about 900 feet. Its sandstone first floor, redwood-clad second story and cross-gable facade give it an asymmetrical, irregular profile, with a three-car garage built into the eastern end. The house has an elliptical two-story front hall with a spiral staircase, a living room of about 475 square feet and a finished basement with a pine-panelled party room. The grounds include eight chestnut trees that give the property its name, a stone picnic fireplace, a shuffleboard court and a 1936 picnic pavilion. It is valued for its solid construction and detailed interior, and for its association with architect George Samuel Flickinger, who went on to become one of York County's most prolific designers after the Second World War.","period_of_significance":"1936-1951","architect_builder":"George Samuel Flickinger (architect)","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The property is in generally very good condition, with its original kitchen, baths and much woodwork intact; the non-contributing swimming pool is described as derelict but to be restored.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:36.103183-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/01000952.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000952/496dff335a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000952/496dff335a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CHESTNUT_HILL,_WINDSOR_TWP;_YORK_COUNTY,_PA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CHESTNUT_HILL,_WINDSOR_TWP;_YORK_COUNTY,_PA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998779","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut_Hill_(Windsor_Township,_York_County,_Pennsylvania)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5093941"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/york-county/chestnut-hill-01000952/"}
