The Burns family also operated a small 18th and 19th century industrial complex on the property.","narrative":"Built in 1832 by Jeremiah Burns on land first settled by his family in 1774, this two-story, seven-bay brick farmhouse sits on a farm in the Roadside area near the East Branch of Little Antietam Creek. Its central three-bay recessed double porch and symmetrical facade reflect Greek Revival taste adapted to local farmhouse traditions, and its interior retains a central passage plan, original staircase and six-panel doors. Beside it stands a frame bank barn dating to about 1900, which keeps its open forebay and original animal stalls. The property records the farm's grain and livestock production from the 1830s into the mid-twentieth century, when many neighboring farms converted to dairy. Remnants of an earlier mill complex, including a sickle mill foundation, a raceway and a line of cobblestones, lie along the southern boundary. The farm remains in agricultural use today.","period_of_significance":"c. 1774-1950","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid 19th century vernacular with Greek Revival influence; Pennsylvania barn","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The farm continues under cultivation, with about 69 acres in agricultural production and sheep occupying the barn.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.032597-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/02000065.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02000065/85ab6da584-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02000065/85ab6da584-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ M.D.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JEREMIAH_BURNS_FARM,_WASHINGTON_TWP;_FRANKLIN_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:JEREMIAH_BURNS_FARM,_WASHINGTON_TWP;_FRANKLIN_COUNTY,_PA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998594","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Burns_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6180753"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/franklin-county/burns-jeremiah-farm-02000065/"}
