Zimmerman. It is now part of an outlet shopping center setting and operates as The Inn at Georgian Place.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant for its architecture, as a well-preserved, large-scale example of a Georgian Revival residence designed by Horace Trumbauer, a prominent Philadelphia architect. It also links the house to Zimmerman's success in the Somerset County coal and cattle businesses, and it is described as unmatched by local standards in scale, interior detail and style.","narrative":"Built in 1915 as a two and a half story brick house with a hip roof, marble trim and a Flemish bond facade, the Zimmerman Mansion stands on a hill above Somerset borough. Horace Trumbauer, a Philadelphia architect known for large residences along the eastern seaboard, designed it in the Georgian Revival style, and local builder Harvey Hostetler oversaw construction. Interiors include a marble-floored entrance hall, carved oak and walnut paneling, a marble fluted main staircase, and suites with cherry and marble fireplaces. Daniel B. Zimmerman built the house after making his fortune in cattle ranching in the Dakotas and in soft coal mining in Somerset County. The house is regarded as the most elaborate residence in the county at the time, and it still shows the original moldings, mantles and woodwork. Later changes include two picture windows added in 1946 and 1949 and a fire escape added during its years as a hotel. It was listed for its architectural design and its connection to Zimmerman's industrial career.","period_of_significance":"1915-1928","architect_builder":"Trumbauer, Horace (architect); Hostetler, Harvey (construction overseer); Walter, Edward (named with Trumbauer in the nomination's architect/builder list)","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently operates as The Inn at Georgian Place after refurbishment begun in 1992 and opened in spring 1993; the site around it has been developed as an outlet shopping center.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:38.002053-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/95000129.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000129/c284871343-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000129/c284871343-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Daniel_B._Zimmerman_Mansion.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Daniel_B._Zimmerman_Mansion.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998190","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_B._Zimmerman_Mansion","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5216471"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/somerset-county/zimmerman-daniel-b-mansion-95000129/"}
