The property is a farm rather than a single building.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is significant for its ongoing association with the development of agriculture in Lancaster County from the 18th century onward, and as an example of a family farm complex spanning 1724 to 1948. It also cites the architectural evolution shown across the buildings, from Germanic stone construction to the Georgian brick house of 1765 and later Federal-period alterations.","narrative":"Along the corner of Pioneer and Houser Roads in West Lampeter Township stands a farm complex that has been worked since the early eighteenth century. Its oldest building, a limestone house begun in 1724 for Hans Weber, was finished between 1735 and 1740 and shows Germanic features such as a central chimney, a vaulted stone cellar and casement windows, later replaced with Federal sash in the 1790-1810 renovation. Beside it, a brick house of 1765 built for Jacob Weaver is a sidehall Georgian design with Flemish bond brickwork and a belt course, and it is regarded as one of the first brick Georgian houses built for a family of Germanic background in the county. The farm's barns, summer kitchens and a 1904 barn reflect its shift from wheat and dairy to commercial tobacco and milk production. The property is valued for its intact grouping of buildings and its long family ownership, which together show the change from Germanic to English building traditions on one site.","period_of_significance":"1724-1948","architect_builder":"Weaver, John","architectural_style":"Colonial; Georgian; Other: Pennsylvania German","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The document states the farm is in good state of repair and retains its integrity; the 1980 Weaver shed is noncontributing and the Weber barn ruins remain on the property.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:37.896091-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/99000646.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99000646/f76a830cd1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99000646/f76a830cd1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WEBER-WEAVER_FARM,_WEST_LAMPETER,_LANCASTER_COUNTY,_PA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WEBER-WEAVER_FARM,_WEST_LAMPETER,_LANCASTER_COUNTY,_PA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993143","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber%E2%80%93Weaver_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7978738"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/weber-weaver-farm-99000646/"}
