Its well-preserved 1860 three-bay I-house, with a rear ell, wide porch and scroll-sawn Victorian detailing, is a good example of a Shenandoah Valley vernacular house. Details such as the oak-leaf frieze and the porch-roof access show folk craftsmanship. The surrounding outbuildings show continuous farming from the early 1800s.","narrative":"Bauserman Farm is a working farm of about 76 acres northwest of Mount Jackson, Virginia, with buildings arranged along both sides of Middle Road. Its core is a two-story, three-bay I-house dated to 1860 and presumed to have been built by Joel F. Kagey; Robert A. Bauserman bought it in 1878. The frame house has a rear ell, standing-seam metal roofs, limestone foundations, brick gable-end chimneys and a wide front porch with scroll-sawn trim. An oak-leaf pattern in the porch frieze and a door leading to the porch roof are among its distinctive features. Nearby stand a two-story summer kitchen thought to date from about 1823, early chicken houses, a privy, a granary, a large bank barn, and the foundations of an icehouse and a log cabin. The farm was listed for architecture, as a well-preserved example of the I-house type common in the Shenandoah Valley. A rear addition from 1992 follows the original design.","period_of_significance":"circa 1800 - circa 1940","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late Victorian/Italianate; Other: Vernacular I-house","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Buildings are described as in good to excellent condition, and the farm is still used for rotated crops of corn and grasses.
