The property also includes the ruins of an out kitchen.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a locally important example of early 19th-century Federal architecture that evolved from an earlier three-fifths Georgian style house. The barn and carriage house are cited as well-maintained examples of farm building evolution and of regional stone building techniques. The buildings are described as retaining historic integrity.","narrative":"Built in stages from about 1810 onward on Raubsville Road in Williams Township, the Jacob Arndt farmhouse is a five-bay, two-story limestone house with slate roofing and jack arches with keystones over its first-floor windows. The west section, built around 1810, began as a three-bay house with Georgian features, and a two-bay addition about 1840 gave it a center-hall Federal plan. A large stone and wood Pennsylvania barn, dated to about 1840, stands southwest of the house, and a stone carriage house from about 1890 is now used as a garage. The house is recognized as a local example of Federal design, and the buildings are regarded as typical of late 18th to mid-19th century farmsteads in the area. The site also includes the ruins of an out kitchen. The nomination treats the house and barns together as a well-preserved farmstead that reflects the area's stone building traditions.","period_of_significance":"c.1810 to C. 1890","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic/Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The farmhouse is occupied and the carriage house is used as a garage, per the document; the out kitchen is described as ruins.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:10:27.559217-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/05001489.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001489/33f076c74f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05001489/33f076c74f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Shuvaev","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jacob_Arndt_House_01.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Shuvaev</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:Jacob_Arndt_House_01.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998754","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Arndt_House_and_Barn","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15229126"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/northampton-county/arndt-jacob-house-and-barn-05001489/"}
