It is also tied to Samuel Johnson, a prominent planter, and to descendants who helped develop Garland and served on the State Supreme Court. The farm is cited as typical of rural plantation-class farmsteads and as likely to yield information on agrarian practices.","narrative":"Set among fields, forest and shade trees near Ingold, this farmhouse was built around 1840 for Samuel Johnson, who bought the land in 1816 and first raised his family in a log house. The two-and-a-half-story, weatherboarded dwelling is one room deep, with an engaged front porch on chamfered posts and shed rooms across the rear. Inside, a hall-and-parlor plan is covered in wide vertical boards, and the hall holds a tall hand-carved mantel and raised-panel wainscot with concave corners. Family tradition credits itinerant Pennsylvania German carpenters. Johnson was a large planter who held 700 acres and 22 slaves in 1850. His son helped found nearby Garland, and a grandson served on the State Supreme Court from 1950 to 1959. The house stayed in the family until 1945. The listed tract covers 245 acres, still farmed, with a few outbuildings and a family cemetery holding Johnson and twelve descendants.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown (family tradition says itinerant Pennsylvania German carpenters)","architectural_style":"Late Federal","criteria":["A","B","C","D"],"status_note":"The house was renovated and restored by its current owners, who added rear rooms in 1977.
