The farmhouse was built in 1836 by Jacob and Maryann Peeters, the barn is dated 1869, and the mansion was erected in 1879 by Philip Bausman.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farmstead is significant for its relationship to Lancaster County agriculture, as an example of a farm that has lost its agricultural setting while retaining its buildings. The stone still house, dated 1775, is described as a rare surviving eighteenth-century distillery, and the brick end barn is one of only seven documented pierced-end brick Pennsylvania barns in the county. The mansion's interior ornamentation is described as unusually sophisticated for a farm-related example in the county.","narrative":"Stone, brick and slate buildings on two tracts beside Millersville Pike in Lancaster make up the Bausman Farmstead, which dates from the eighteenth century. The oldest building is a stone still house with a datestone of 1775, used for distilling rum that Andreas Bausman sold as far away as Pittsburgh. A brick farmhouse dated 1836 is built in the Federal style, with Flemish bond on its principal facade and simple Federal mantelpieces inside. A large brick bank barn dated 1869 has a pierced-end design, and it is regarded as one of only seven documented examples of its type in Lancaster County. Across the road, Philip Bausman built a Late Victorian brick mansion in 1879, with marble mantelpieces, molded plaster cornices and Lincrusta wainscoting. The buildings are significant for their evidence of Lancaster County farm life and for their high architectural integrity, even though surrounding suburban development has removed the farm's fields and setting.","period_of_significance":"1775-1945","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early Republic: Federal; Late Victorian; Pennsylvania barn","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The dwelling house is in generally good condition, the barn is in generally good structural condition, the still house is deteriorated, and the mansion house is in excellent condition.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:36.720609-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/94001061.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94001061/16791f567f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94001061/16791f567f-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1631_Millersville_Pike_Bausman_Farmstead_Lancaster_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:1631_Millersville_Pike_Bausman_Farmstead_Lancaster_PA.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993125","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bausman_Farmstead","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4873595"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/bausman-farmstead-94001061/"}
