The farmhouse is dated to 1865 in the statement of significance.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is one of the few remaining nineteenth-century farms in Allegheny County with good integrity in both its buildings and its rural site. Its farmhouse retains Victorian detailing with Italianate and Gothic Revival elements, and its outbuildings are described as excellent examples of their types in the county. The farm is also linked by the nomination to the adjacent Van Kirk Farm and to the Hutchinson family's ownership over more than 150 years.","narrative":"Elizabeth Township, Allegheny County, is the setting for this farm, whose two-story brick farmhouse was built in 1865 and shows vernacular Victorian design with Italianate and Gothic Revival features. The house has a five-bay front, a two-room-deep center hall plan, bracketed cornices and a two-story porch with keyhole-and-lozenge fretwork. Its interior keeps thirteen-foot ceilings, deeply grooved moldings and a hexagonal newel post. Outbuildings include a brick smokehouse with hourglass-shaped ventilators, a springhouse banked into the ground with a stone front probably added around 1900, and a terra cotta block dairy barn of the 1930s. The Hutchinson family owned the land from 1822, when Joseph Hutchinson bought 135 acres. The property is significant as one of the most intact nineteenth-century farms in the county, with a rural setting largely unaffected by suburban development.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular Victorian with Italianate and Gothic Revival elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"The farm is described as an operating springhouse and a dairy barn that no longer serves dairy cows; the farmhouse is described as well preserved.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:32.604223-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/86000321.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000321/7f94dd86bf-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000321/7f94dd86bf-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Lee Paxton","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HutchinsonFarm.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Lee Paxton</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HutchinsonFarm.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995427","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutchinson_Farm_(Elizabeth,_Pennsylvania)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15227173"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/allegheny-county/hutchinson-farm-86000321/"}
