The centerpiece is a 2-story frame farmhouse built ca. 1875 with a large Pennsylvania bank barn of about the same date.","why_significant":"The complex is described as a typical 19th-century Upper Delaware Valley farmstead in its overall layout, but the farmhouse is regarded as unusually well detailed for an upland farm. The nomination argues the investment in stylistic detail is unusual because ridge soils were less fertile, and it traces the property's progressive upgrading through the Treible and Michael families.","narrative":"Set on a steep ridge above the Delaware River near Shawnee-on-Delaware, the John Michael Farm Complex is a group of farm buildings centred on a two-storey frame farmhouse built about 1875. The house has a slate roof, beaded corner trim, 2/2 windows with low pediments, and a four-panel Victorian entrance door framed by a small porch. Inside, it keeps much of its original detailing, including beaded trim, cast iron hinges, and beaded wainscot in the kitchen. Its large Pennsylvania bank barn, of about the same date, has a good deal of decorative detail. Before the main house was built, the family lived in a one-room frame wash house, which was itself built in the first half of the nineteenth century on the site of an earlier log cabin. The Treible family held the land for much of the 1800s before John Michael bought the farm shortly after World War I. The nomination regards the house as one of the most carefully detailed Victorian farmhouses on the Pennsylvania side of the river, unusual for an upland farm.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian","criteria":[],"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 17:11:33.671641-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80000355.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000355/619dcf83e3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80000355/619dcf83e3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JOHN_MICHAEL_FARM,_MONROE_COUNTY,_PA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JOHN_MICHAEL_FARM,_MONROE_COUNTY,_PA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998313","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Michael_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15229672"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/monroe-county/michael-john-farm-80000355/"}
