It was established in 1889 by Joseph and Anna Schrot and includes a house, barn, woodshed, chicken coop, pigpen and orchard.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is an intact example of an early twentieth-century family subsistence farm in Clearfield County and a good example of a regional vernacular farmstead. Its buildings, plantings, stone drains and retained original features are presented as evidence of this agricultural way of life.","narrative":"Built on a north-facing slope above the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, the Schrot Farm in Hyde, Clearfield County, is a 17-acre subsistence farm begun in 1889 by Joseph Schrot, a stonecutter who had emigrated from Austria with his wife Anna. The family raised fourteen children on the land. The farm includes a frame house built in stages between 1891 and 1915, a barn completed around 1900, a woodshed built in 1889 from timber cleared on the site, a chicken coop from 1908, and a pigpen. Joseph laid the stone wall along the vegetable garden and underground stone drains that still carry spring water. Orchards, a hardwood woodlot, hedgerows and a garden remain largely in their original arrangement. The farm is significant for agriculture as an intact example of an early twentieth-century family farm in the region, with its outbuildings, plantings and original house interior still standing.","period_of_significance":"1889-1955","architect_builder":"Schrot, Joseph F.
