Its architecture blends a mid-nineteenth-century Georgian/Federal and Greek Revival farmhouse with early twentieth-century Neoclassical Revival remodelling in high-quality materials. It is tied to the Emig family's manufacturing and village development, and to a brief stop by Confederate troops during the Gettysburg Campaign in 1863.","narrative":"Built around 1850 as a farmhouse in Emigsville, York County, Pennsylvania, the two-and-a-half-story brick house was five bays wide and two deep, with a central hall and double end chimneys. John Emig Jr., a farmer who also burned lime, ran a general store and served as postmaster and railroad agent, built it. About ten years later a south wing was added. Edward K. Emig, a wagon manufacturer whose Acme Wagon Company was important to the village, remodelled the house in the early twentieth century. The work added a bay window, porches, brownstone details, mahogany woodwork, stained and leaded glass, and a vestibule with glazed tile dados. The house is significant for the way it combines two periods of design and for its links to local industry. In June 1863, Confederate troops under Colonel French stopped at the house on their way toward York and Gettysburg.","period_of_significance":"1850-1913","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian/Federal with Greek Revival elements; early twentieth-century Neoclassical Revival remodelling","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Altered; the glazed cupola has been removed, and the porches are in poor structural condition but intact.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.088-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/84003586.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003586/9001e660f0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003586/9001e660f0-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emig_House_1_YorkCo_PA.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emig_House_1_YorkCo_PA.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995459","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emig_Mansion","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5371089"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/york-county/emig-mansion-84003586/"}
