The walls are built of brown fieldstone.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant for its association with Richard Leedon, a Quaker landowner who supported American independence and held meetings of a local Committee of Correspondence there. It also cites the house as an excellent example of eighteenth-century Georgian architecture, with dressed stone on the front elevation and rubble stone on the rest.","narrative":"Built of brown fieldstone in two stages, this farmhouse in Richboro, Bucks County, began as a one-and-one-half-story dwelling of about 1750. In 1779 its owner added a two-and-one-half-story, five-bay Georgian section with a center hall, eight-over-eight sash windows, and a boxed cornice with dentils. The south elevation is laid in cut stone with keystone lintels, while the other walls use rubble stone. The original first-floor cooking fireplace, with its mantel and batten doors, survives, as do the Georgian mantels and much of the woodwork in the addition. The house was the home of Richard Leedon, a Quaker landowner who supported American independence and was disowned by the Wrightstown Quaker Meeting for it. He hosted meetings of a local Committee of Correspondence in the older part of the house during the Revolutionary period. The house is valued for its Revolutionary-era connection and for its well-preserved Georgian interior.","period_of_significance":"18th Century","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian","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 17:11:30.322499-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/75001623.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001623/a6f9b6019f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001623/a6f9b6019f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Shuvaev","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twin_Trees_Farm_Richboro_PA_04.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Shuvaev</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:Twin_Trees_Farm_Richboro_PA_04.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71997984","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Trees_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7858324"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/bucks-county/twin-trees-farm-75001623/"}
