It is two full stories with an attic at the front, with a lower story used for storage.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a well-preserved example of the Eastern Pennsylvania Bank House type, with most original features intact and woodwork replacements matched to the originals. It is considered significant for relating the architectural history of Concord Township, and for reflecting the way of life of its builder and later occupants.","narrative":"Built in 1805 of random native fieldstone by Thomas Marshall, a Quaker, the house stands in Concord Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It is a bank house, two full stories with an attic on the front elevation, with a lower storage level that is not visible from the outside. The main section contains six fireplaces, four of them in corners, and the mantels are plain. Marshall also included closets in nearly every room, a sub-basement for ice and vegetable storage, and a passage between the well and the house. A south salt-box addition with a separate loft was added at an undetermined later date. The house is regarded as a well-preserved example of the Eastern Pennsylvania Bank House type, and its carefully laid walls, proportioned windows and retained original features are considered significant for the architectural history of the township. The property is also known as the Yarnall property after a later sale to that family.","period_of_significance":"1805","architect_builder":"Thomas Marshall (builder)","architectural_style":"Eastern Pennsylvania Bank House","criteria":[],"status_note":"Retains many original features; a porch added in the nineteenth century was removed and the pent restored on the East elevation and North gable end.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.951716-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/78002391.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002391/a20742e82f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002391/a20742e82f-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"User:Smallbones on English Wikipedia.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UHandWrought.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">User:Smallbones on English Wikipedia.</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UHandWrought.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995117","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handwrought","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5647706"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/delaware-county/handwrought-78002391/"}
