Its core buildings include the Concord Friends Meeting House, the Nicholas Newlin House, the Newlin Tenant House, the Samuel Trimble House, the Orthodox Meeting House, the Norris J. Scott House and the 1856 Brick House.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the district is an excellent architectural complex that preserves the original relationship between buildings and their setting, and that it illustrates rural architecture in the region during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Meeting House and Nicholas Newlin House are described as outstanding, and the Meeting House was a long-standing focal point of religious and community life, including use as a school. Several buildings also show the 19th-century Victorian influence on the rural environment.","narrative":"Concordville is a small village cluster at the crossing of the road from Chester and the road from Philadelphia to Baltimore, and its historic district preserves the buildings that stood there before 1831. The Concord Friends Meeting House was first built in 1728, burned in 1788 and was enlarged then, and it served as a religious center and school for many township residents. Nearby, the Nicholas Newlin House is a brick house laid in Flemish bond, with a datestone reading 1742. The Newlin Tenant House is an 18th-century fieldstone house. The Samuel Trimble House was built of fieldstone in the 18th century and extended in the early 19th century, and Trimble worked there as a hatter around 1800. The district is also notable for the 1856 Brick House and the Norris J. Scott House, which show mid-19th-century Victorian influence. Together the buildings form a compact group of rural architecture from the region.","period_of_significance":"18th Century-19th Century","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Flemish bond brick; fieldstone; Victorian Gothic additions","criteria":[],"status_note":"The Orthodox Meeting building is used by the grange and the 1856 Brick House is used as apartments, as stated in the document.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:29.170112-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/73001624.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001624/39435eb27d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001624/39435eb27d-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":null,"credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ConcordOrthodoxFriends.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Unknown author</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ConcordOrthodoxFriends.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995119","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concordville_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5159015"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/delaware-county/concordville-historic-district-73001624/"}
