The property was found eligible for the National Register in 1984 but was not listed at that time because the owner objected. In 1987 the land was subdivided into two lots. Lot #1, which contained two non-contributing tenant houses, has since had those houses demolished and a brick office and warehouse building constructed on it. This boundary decrease removes Lot #1 and keeps Lot #2, measuring 5.76 acres. The retained boundary includes the main house, the barn and their immediate setting. The nomination treats Lot #1 as lacking significance and as having experienced new construction, which is why it was excluded. The resource is part of the West Whiteland Township Multiple Resource Area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"The tenant houses on Lot #1 have been demolished and a brick office/warehouse building has been constructed on that lot, which is excluded from the boundary.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.011997-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/90001343.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992608","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/chester-county/downing-hunt-house-boundary-decrease-90001343/"}
