It was built for Edward Thompson, an early settler.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a well-preserved example of early nineteenth-century rural architecture with strong Federal style influences in its side wing porticos and entrance decoration. Together with the original log house and stone smokehouse, it illustrates rural life. The Thompson family were among Brown County's earliest settlers and operated important mills on White Oak Creek.","narrative":"Set on White Oak Creek near Georgetown, this farm centers on a brick house finished around 1840 for Edward Thompson, who settled the land in the 1820s. The house has a two-story central block with one-story wings, each fronted by a porch with fluted Doric columns and balustrades. The entrance has sidelights and a fanlight, and the interior keeps spiral stairs and its original wide woodwork. Nearby are a two-story log house, later turned into a barn and thought to predate 1825, and an intact stone smokehouse. The Thompson family were among Brown County's earliest settlers and ran mills on the creek. The Armleder family bought the farm at a sheriff's auction in 1867, and in the mid-1970s it had had only two owners in about 135 years. The nomination values it as a well-preserved rural home with Federal style features, and suggests Emmet Hubbard Baker, builder of the Brown County courthouse, as its likely designer.","period_of_significance":"1840","architect_builder":"Ed Thompson (form lists as builder/architect); likely designer and builder Emmet Hubbard Baker","architectural_style":"Federal elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition and virtually unaltered, with the house used as a private residence; the status box is marked vacant and a later data sheet says not in use.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:09.200119-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/76001375.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001375/3abe3b69ca-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001375/3abe3b69ca-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thompson_Farm_gate.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thompson_Farm_gate.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986841","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_Farm_(Georgetown,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q55635786"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/brown-county/thompson-farm-76001375/"}
