It includes a ca. 1820 log house, a ca. 1855 five-bay brick I-house, and a ca. 1880 bank barn.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farmstead is significant under Criterion C for architecture. The log house is presented as a good example of the small log residences that dominated early Washington County, and the brick house as a finer, Greek Revival-influenced house reflecting the prosperity brought by the National Road and drovers. Its gable-end windows and views toward the road are described as unusual for the type.","narrative":"Built around 1820 and 1855, this farmstead on a gently sloping ten-acre parcel beside the National Road in Amwell Township holds a small hewn-log house, a five-bay brick I-house and a bank barn from about 1880. The log house is a story and a half with a large cooking fireplace and a massive brick and stone chimney. Its architectural details are largely early nineteenth century. The brick house, with its common bond facade, sandstone foundation and tripartite Greek Revival doorway, shows a family moving to a much larger masonry house with rooms roughly equal in size to the entire log house. Its parlor has shouldered door and window surrounds, and its stair hall retains a walnut handrail and turned balusters. The two houses together illustrate changes in local living standards between the early 1800s and the 1850s, during the National Road's heyday and its later years as a drovers' route. The property is valued for its intact interiors and its relation to the road.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1820-1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The three contributing buildings are described as possessing integrity despite minor changes and somewhat poor condition; the farm is no longer active.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.582771-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/03001192.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03001192/f603eb4058-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03001192/f603eb4058-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Generic1139","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dager-Wonsettler_Farmstead.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Generic1139</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dager-Wonsettler_Farmstead.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71994527","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dager-Wonsettler_Farmstead","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5208496"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/washington-county/dager-wonsettler-farmstead-03001192/"}
