It is also significant as a large structure converted to public use with little loss of integrity, and as an illustration of the pattern of additions to an early rural structure.","narrative":"Built in 1861 as a two-and-a-half-story brick farmhouse in the Georgian style, the building in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania, was later enlarged in the 1880s when the county bought it for use as a home for the aged. A brick east wing with a dining room and five smaller rooms was added, joined to a large kitchen by an enclosed passage, and a further brick section with a hip roof and cupola followed about 1900. The walls and cross walls are of hand-molded brick about 13 inches thick. The home operated until 1964. In 1969 the Greene County Historical Society began renovating the interior to house its museum collection and a library, with the parlors furnished in Mid-Victorian style. The building is regarded as a good example of late brick Georgian design in a rural setting, and its retained layout as a public building with few alterations makes it notable for the pattern of additions it displays.","period_of_significance":"1861","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Renovated for museum and library use beginning in 1969; the form notes the brickwork needs repointing and the building needs painting.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:29.882956-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/73001634.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001634/d91ee810d1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001634/d91ee810d1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Generic1139","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greene_Hills_Farm.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:Greene_Hills_Farm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998608","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greene_Hills_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5603863"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/greene-county/greene-hills-farm-73001634/"}
