It also states that the farm embodies the diversified, market-oriented agriculture of nineteenth-century Pennsylvania through its buildings and field layout.","narrative":"Limestone farmhouse and bank barn on a 96-acre farmstead in northern Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The two-and-a-half-story house was built about 1830 by Martha S. and Hugh D. Seeds, and it has a central passage, a full Georgian plan, six-over-six sash windows, and a basement kitchen with a large cooking fireplace. Its woodwork and original hardware remain largely intact. The bank barn, dating to about 1880, has a timber frame laid out by the square rule system on mill-cut timbers, a limestone ground level and a cantilevered forebay. The farm's five fields radiate from the house and barn along a tree-lined lane, a pattern typical of nineteenth-century Pennsylvania farms. The property is important for its well-preserved vernacular architecture and for what it shows of the diversified, market-oriented farming practiced in the region from the early nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century, including the use of lime plaster and manure on the fields.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1830-1948","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The document states that a frame hog pen, a drive-through corn crib and a concrete block milk house were demolished, and that the farm remains in agricultural use with cropped fields, fallow ground and pasture.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.261799-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/99000328.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998400","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_D._and_Martha_South_Seeds_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5930485"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/huntingdon-county/seeds-hugh-d-and-martha-s-farm-99000328/"}
