Its main building is an upright-and-wing vernacular farmhouse built circa 1888, with a shed, privy and other farm features.","why_significant":"The farmstead is argued to be significant under Criterion A for reflecting the agricultural trends of the Cuyahoga Valley, including market-oriented crops, oats and dairy supported by canal and railroad links. Under Criterion C, the farmhouse is an upright-and-wing, a house type identified as significant in the valley's agricultural multiple property documentation. The layout of the house and outbuildings also shows how the farm functioned before about 1915.","narrative":"Set within Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Bath Township, this 17-acre farmstead centers on a two-story, wood-framed upright-and-wing house built around 1888. Nine resources contribute to its character: the house, a circa 1925 shed, a privy, two water pumps, a water well, the sandstone foundations of a barn and milk house, and a former agricultural field. The land began as part of the Western Reserve and passed from Enoch Shoemaker, who built a house and barn in the 1840s and 1850s, through John Bennage to Jacob Lutz, and then in 1894 to Peter Martin, a Hungarian-born farmer who had worked Montana mines. The property was listed for its link to the valley's farming history, including oats, dairy and market produce shipped by canal and railroad, and for a house type brought to Ohio from New England and New York. The clustered buildings show how a farm worked before modern conveniences made many outbuildings obsolete.","period_of_significance":"1888-1939","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Other: Upright and Wing (Vernacular)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Current function is listed as vacant; the farm field is no longer in agricultural production and the shed received a recent stabilization roof.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.00608-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/03000608.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000608/88f032a586-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000608/88f032a586-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"National Park Service","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peter_Martin_Farm_House_NPS.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">National Park Service</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peter_Martin_Farm_House_NPS.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986216","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q100606337"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/summit-county/lutz-martin-farm-03000608/"}
