It reflects a small colony from Calmoutier, France, that settled Stark and Wayne counties after an 1847 earthquake. The farm also illustrates the varied ethnic mix that shaped the area's development.","narrative":"Located in Sugarcreek Township in southwestern Stark County, this farm was developed by brothers Emanuel and Frederick Serquet, French immigrants with roots in Calmoutier, France. Emanuel bought the property in 1854 and sold half to Frederick in 1856; the two farmed it and lived together. Their brick dwelling, built in 1884-86 from brick burned on site, blends Italianate and high Victorian Gothic elements. It has a dressed sandstone foundation, arched windows with stone hoods and keystones, and spindle-work porches. French craftsmen reportedly worked on the house, and the family lived in the brick summer kitchen until it was finished. An 1840 bank barn with a slate roof, a silo, accessory buildings and a sandstone-lined pond complete the group. The farm is recognized as a well-preserved example of rural architecture created by prosperous French settlers, and as evidence of the many nationalities that settled the Wilmot area.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"John Bell","architectural_style":"Transitional Italianate and high Victorian Gothic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied, in agricultural and private residence use; condition marked excellent, original site, altered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.527905-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001490.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001490/04651ed1c9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001490/04651ed1c9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Serquet_Farm_(Wilmot,_OH).JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Serquet_Farm_(Wilmot,_OH).JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71991414","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138687037"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/stark-county/serquet-emanuel-and-frederick-farm-82001490/"}
