The original structure was built soon after 1813.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare example of early 19th century serpentine construction, with the stone used on all four walls. Its later additions are said to read clearly as additions while keeping the original proportions. The farm is also associated with local horticulture, cattle breeding, and Quaker families, and the barn is described as a well-known local landmark.","narrative":"Built soon after 1813 of locally quarried green serpentine stone, this three-bay, two-story house with a garret stands on a rise above Lucky Hill Road in Chester County, Pennsylvania, overlooking the original farmstead and West Chester two miles to the east. Serpentine was used on all four walls, not only the front facade, which is unusual for the period. The house was enlarged before the Civil War with a third floor and a deeper west addition, and the additions are said to read clearly as additive work that keeps the original proportions. Interior features include a fanlight front door, dog-leg open-string stairs with scroll-work ends, and a gaugework chimneypiece on the second floor. Nearby, a stone double-decker barn with a high ramp and long bridge to the threshing floor serves as a local landmark. The farm was known for pedigreed cattle and potato crops sold in Philadelphia, and the family were Friends.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1815","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":["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 17:11:29.212027-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/77001151.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/77001151/37455bd027-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/77001151/37455bd027-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:450_Lucky_Hill_Chesco.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:450_Lucky_Hill_Chesco.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"95000523","name":"Worth-Jefferis Rural Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/worth-jefferis-rural-historic-district-95000523/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996407","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carter%E2%80%93Worth_House_and_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5047107"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/chester-county/carter-worth-house-and-farm-77001151/"}
