The house is dated to about 1835 and the springhouse to 1803.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farmhouse is a well-detailed example of late Federal and early Greek Revival construction in Greene County, with Federal-era fanlights and stone lintels unusual for a farmhouse of its region. It also argues the farmstead was the center of a successful livestock farm with a long history of ownership, tied to the county's sheep and stock-raising economy.","narrative":"Built of brick in about 1835 on a shelf of land above Dyers Fork, the farmhouse is a five-bay, two-story building with an ell-plan kitchen wing and a center doorway with an elliptical fanlight. Its sandstone lintels carry scroll-cornered ornaments that are rare for a rural house in the region. The site also includes an 1803 stone springhouse bearing a datestone, a ca. 1870 washhouse, an 1872-74 drive-through corn crib and a barn dating to about 1930. The farmstead is regarded as the domestic center of a prosperous livestock farm established early in the county's history. The property was held by the Hamilton family and then by the Ely family for more than a century, and farming continued there until about 1955. Its survival of the original house form and most outbuildings explains the nomination's reasons for listing.","period_of_significance":"1803-1955","architect_builder":"Hamilton, Jack; Blair, William, and Sons; Ely, John W.","architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Federal; Colonial Revival (porch modifications)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:10:27.345253-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/06000098.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000098/995b2bea69-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000098/995b2bea69-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Generic1139","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hamilton-Ely_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:Hamilton-Ely_Farmstead.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998606","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton-Ely_Farmstead","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5644803"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/greene-county/hamilton-ely-farmstead-06000098/"}
