The house is believed to date from the third decade of the 19th century, though no date stone appears.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is a remaining example of early 19th-century farm life and typifies Georgian design executed in a Pennsylvania German style using regional brown sandstone. The surviving outbuildings, including the barn, barn wall, springhouse and carriage house, show how the outbuildings relate to the main house.","narrative":"Brownstone farmhouse in Greenwich Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, built by the third decade of the 19th century and laid out in the Georgian plan with a five-bay front, central hall and brick chimneys at both gable ends. The front wall uses random coursed stone, while the other three facades have rubble stone, and the windows carry wood heads and shutters. The farm was settled by a family from the Palatinate in Germany, who appear on a 1759 tax list as being of average means. The property is significant as a surviving example of early 19th-century farm life and a Georgian house built in a Pennsylvania German manner from regional brown sandstone. Its outbuildings include a bank barn with an 1841 datestone, a stone and stucco barnyard wall, a springhouse and a carriage house, which together show how the farm buildings related to the main house. Alterations in 1971 changed the interior and windows.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian; Pennsylvania German","criteria":[],"status_note":"Good condition; the house was altered in 1971 with replaced window frames and sash, re-pointed exterior walls, insulated and replastered interior walls, and a rebuilt chimney and added fireplace.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.455652-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/78002345.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002345/1bfc2d1803-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002345/1bfc2d1803-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lenhart_Farm_house_BerksCo_PA.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:Lenhart_Farm_house_BerksCo_PA.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996231","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenhart_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6522526"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/berks-county/lenhart-farm-78002345/"}
