Built between 1846 and 1853 by an unknown builder, it sits on a stone foundation.","why_significant":"The house is significant as the home of John Augspurger, one of Christian Augspurger's sons, and as part of the Augspurger Amish/Mennonite settlement. Christian bought the land in 1838, and the farm probably passed to John after Christian died in 1848. Reviewers judged the main house, bank barn and summer kitchen locally significant as an integral part of the thematic group.","narrative":"This brick farmhouse near Trenton, Butler County, Ohio, is a two-story \"I\" house of a type associated with Amish and Mennonite settlers. It was built between 1846 and 1853, when tax records show its value rising from a modest sum to $1,200. It has a five-bay front, a one-bay portico like the one on the house of Christian Augspurger, the owner's father, and a stone foundation. Inside, two large downstairs rooms each have a fireplace, and a center hall holds a stairway with a cherry handrail. A rear porch stairway leads to a hired hand's room set apart from the rest of the upstairs. Christian Augspurger bought the land in 1838, and the farm probably passed to his son John after Christian's death in 1848. It stayed in Augspurger hands until 1898. A bank barn, a brick summer kitchen and several sheds remain. The house was listed as part of the Augspurger settlement group of farms.","period_of_significance":"1846-1853","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"\"I\" house; Amish/Mennonite house type","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Residence.
