Its stone main house was built around 1911 to 1912 as a vacation residence for the Zimmermann family.","why_significant":"The property is argued to be significant for its association with Marie Zimmermann, a nationally known Arts and Crafts artist who used the house as a retreat and workplace. The house is also presented as an architectural record of wealthy city residents turning the Upper Delaware Valley into a country estate, with an eclectic design linked to Dutch Colonial Revival. The house is described as retaining excellent integrity.","narrative":"Set on a hillside above a bend of the Delaware River near Milford in Pike County, this farm was built as a weekend and summer retreat for a New York family. Its stone main house, built around 1911 to 1912 by local labor from nearby fieldstone, has a gambrel roof, a rear wing and a round tower, and is linked to Dutch Colonial Revival design. Marie Zimmermann, the family's daughter, is credited with shaping the house and its details. She became a nationally known Arts and Crafts metalworker, exhibiting in Chicago and New York and winning the Logan prize at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1924. The farm was her retreat from the city until her death in Florida in 1972. Its significance also lies in the house as a record of wealthy city residents turning the valley into a country estate, and in its surviving integrity.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Dutch Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Described as still intact with excellent integrity.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.895199-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79000243.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79000243/c8cd9118e4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79000243/c8cd9118e4-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"National Park Service","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marie_Zimmerman_Farm_Hog_Barn_DWG_NPS.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">National Park Service</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marie_Zimmerman_Farm_Hog_Barn_DWG_NPS.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996547","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Zimmermann_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6763089"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/pike-county/zimmermann-marie-farm-79000243/"}
