Only the house is nominated, on less than one acre.","why_significant":"The farm is part of a thematic grouping tied to the Amish Mennonites and the influence of Christian Augspurger in Butler County. The house represents the Amish/Mennonite house type. Reviewers called the individual statement of significance weak, and it relies on the themes set out in the cover documentation.","narrative":"This brick farmhouse on Pierson Road near Trenton in Butler County, Ohio, was built between 1846 and 1853 in the \"I\" house form associated with Amish and Mennonite settlers. It is two stories tall with a stone foundation, a gable roof, a five-bay front and a rectangular plan. Details include sidelights and a transom at the center entrance hall, pilasters trimmed with acanthus leaves, and an outstanding staircase between two large rooms. A lattice porch was added after 1875. The farm was known by 1875 as the property of John Augspurger, Farm #2, and tax records show a house valued at $1500 by 1853. John Augspurger sold it to Herman Augspurger in 1887. The farm belongs to a group of properties reflecting the Amish Mennonite community and the influence of Christian Augspurger. The smoke house and barn were altered too much to include, so only the house on under one acre is nominated. It remains a residence in good condition.","period_of_significance":"1846-1853","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"\"I\" house form; Amish/Mennonite house type","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a residence; interior and exterior condition are listed as good.
