The house dates to 1853.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an excellent example of an Ohio Greek Revival farmhouse, the best in the greater Dayton area. It is also tied to Jacob Koehne, a notable Germantown citizen who owned the land when the house was built, and to Rev. Peter C. Prugh, a Reformed Church minister who later owned it.","narrative":"West of Germantown, Ohio, this farm centers on a two-story brick farmhouse built in 1853 in the Greek Revival style. The house has a square plan with a central hall and a three-bay facade. Its main feature is a recessed central doorway framed by pilasters, an unusual entablature and fluted Greek Doric columns in antis. Inside, a double-flight stair rises from the main hall, and a Victorian iron-front fireplace and the trim survive in excellent condition. Brick smokehouse and springhouse stand behind the house, and an antique bank barn with a fieldstone foundation sits in the hillside to the west. The nomination ranks the house as the best Greek Revival farmhouse in the greater Dayton area. It also notes two prominent owners: Jacob Koehne, who bought the land in 1839 and served Germantown Academy and the cemetery association, and Rev. Peter C. Prugh, a Reformed Church minister. John Poast bought the property in 1882.","period_of_significance":"1853","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied private residence with farm outbuildings; interior trim and fireplace described as excellently well preserved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:09.949053-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/77001079.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/77001079/b2e3f678b4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/77001079/b2e3f678b4-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Koehne-Poast_Farm.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Koehne-Poast_Farm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990579","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138635037"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/montgomery-county/koehne-poast-farm-77001079/"}
