Johannes Ehle. It is a little-altered late Federal two-story farmhouse built of local cut limestone. A 1828 map identifies it as a new stone house, so it is firmly dated and serves as a benchmark for studying local stone use and architectural detail.","narrative":"Built in 1826 on East Main Street near the eastern edge of Nelliston, this two-story stone farmhouse was raised by Peter Ehle on land his family had held since 1727. The house is five bays wide and two deep, with coursed ashlar limestone, plain quoins, a gable roof, inside end chimneys and quarter-round gable windows in the late Federal manner. Inside are three fireplaces, wide plank floors and a center staircase. A barn complex survives, including a large frame barn, two carriage houses and a small stone outbuilding. The farm was obtained from the Indians by Rev. Johannes Ehle, the first Palatine German minister in the area, and the family lived there continuously until 1976. The house is valued as a little-altered example of a familiar New York form built in local cut limestone. An 1828 map calls it \"Ehle's new stone house,\" which gives it a firm date and makes it a useful comparison for other farmhouses in the area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Peter Ehle (builder/owner, as described in the form)","architectural_style":"Late Federal","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as a former prosperous dairy farm now used as a residence; the Ehle family lived there until 1976.
