It lies on Little Daniels Run Road in North Bethlehem and West Bethlehem Townships, Washington County, Pennsylvania.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a fine example of vernacular Federal architecture in Washington County, notable for its dressed stone voussoirs and interior woodwork such as the center passage arch. It is distinguished from similar houses by its size, integrity and lack of major later additions or restoration. It stayed a remote farmhouse until the mid-twentieth century.","narrative":"Built in 1807, this two-story, five-bay stone farmhouse sits on a two-acre farmstead that is the core of a larger farm in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The nominated group includes the house, a barn, a springhouse, a frame wash house and a privy. A municipal boundary runs through the farmstead, placing the house in North Bethlehem Township and the barn in West Bethlehem Township. The house is notable for its dressed stone window arches, each with seven parts around a projecting keystone, and for interior details including a semi-elliptical arch in the center passage, a turned-newel stair, cross-and-Bible doors and stone fireplaces. The nomination compares it with the Century Inn and other stone houses in the county, noting that many were built in phases or altered. This house kept its original form and was never heavily restored. The farm stayed in the Friend family until 1825, then passed through the Egy and Miller families. The listing rests on its architecture, with a period of significance of circa 1807 to 1900.","period_of_significance":"circa 1807-1900","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Current function listed as vacant; the house interior is described as generally in poor condition, and the wash house and other outbuildings are deteriorated.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:59:06.441175-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/98001371.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001371/44c8807214-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001371/44c8807214-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Generic1139","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Philip_Friend_House_barn.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Generic1139</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Philip_Friend_House_barn.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996804","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Friend_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7183573"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/washington-county/friend-philip-house-98001371/"}
