It is dated to 1796 in the nomination.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a well-preserved example of a late eighteenth-century southwestern Pennsylvania brick farmhouse, with a largely intact interior of rare integrity. It also links the house to the Reverend John Corbly, a Baptist minister and founder of many regional churches who held public offices and was prominent in local religious and secular life.","narrative":"A two-story brick farmhouse near Garards Fort in Greene County, Pennsylvania, dated to 1796 and built from clay taken from the embankment where it stands. Its Flemish bond facade, flaring flat brick arches and denticulated cornice reflect Georgian influence, while its asymmetrical plan with a large central hall reflects local building traditions. The interior retains much of its original woodwork, including Classical mantelpieces and board floors. The house is associated with the Reverend John Corbly, who arrived in the region around 1769, was ordained a Baptist minister in 1775 and helped found numerous Baptist churches. He also served as a justice of the peace, a Virginia delegate and later a county coroner. His role in the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794, when he was arrested and jailed, is part of the stated basis for the property's importance.","period_of_significance":"1700-1799","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular brick farmhouse with Georgian-derived detailing","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"The form describes the property as deteriorated and altered, with a rebuilt south gable end and replaced exterior doors.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:13:18.179942-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/84003380.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003380/9c78df28cc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003380/9c78df28cc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Generic1139","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Corbley_Farm.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Generic1139</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:John_Corbley_Farm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995637","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Corbley_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6227101"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/greene-county/corbley-john-farm-84003380/"}
