It is said to retain its original form closely, with the 1860 datestone identifying its builders. Its architecture is the basis for listing.","narrative":"Built of random fieldstone in 1860 in Phoenixville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, the Fagley House is a three-story farmhouse with a center hall plan, a gable roof and a chimney at each gable end. Its datestone in the south elevation bears the builders' names, S.D.&J. Fagley, and the year. Samuel, David and John Fagley inherited the property from their father, Phillip, in 1845. An 1881 newspaper advertisement offering the property for sale described a stone mansion house, a stone barn, a stone spring-house and a blacksmith shop among the outbuildings. The house follows a standard type of local farmhouse that had been built in the area since the early nineteenth century. Its surviving features include six-over-six windows on the lower floors, a bracketed cornice and a central transom over the east door. A one-story Doric porch on the east elevation was added later.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"S.D.&J.
