It was constructed in 1906 and is attributed to contractor J.A. Baer.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be a fine local example of turn-of-the-century Colonial Revival dwellings, blending Victorian and Early American details. Its use of Hummelstown brownstone is described as locally rare, and it is one of few surviving examples of that stone in Uniontown. Its original interior features, including an intact early 1900s bathroom, are cited as well preserved.","narrative":"Built in 1906 in Uniontown, this two-and-a-half story house is faced in Hummelstown brownstone, a reddish sandstone quarried in Dauphin County until 1926 and used mainly for large public and commercial buildings. The square, three-bay front has a central hall, a slate-covered truncated hip roof, and a two-story porch with paired Corinthian columns and Victorian turned balusters. Inside, the house keeps its original plaster walls, oak woodwork, hardwood floors, and early electric chandeliers. The bathroom is largely unaltered from the early 1900s, with its ceramic tile, stained glass window, and claw-foot tub. Local tradition, though undocumented, links the stonework to contractor J.A. Baer. The house is valued for its high level of original integrity and for its rare use of stone in a neighborhood where most comparable homes are brick. It has remained a single-family residence since construction.","period_of_significance":"1906","architect_builder":"Baer, J.A.","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.264551-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/88001164.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001164/db07ae010e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001164/db07ae010e-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_P._Conn_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_P._Conn_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998406","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_P._Conn_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6251529"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/fayette-county/conn-john-p-house-88001164/"}
