History and architectural features
[edit]This district includes twelve contributing buildings, two contributing sites, and three contributing structures. They are associated with three areas: the Davis-Chamber farmstead (1793 and 1875), the Eliab Negley House (c. 1810), and the Joseph Negley farmstead (c. 1840). Contributing components of the Davis-Chamber farmstead include the log and frame main house (c. 1793), an eighteenth-century log smokehouse, a limestone milk house (c. 1810), a frame wash house (c. 1880), a frame outhouse (c. 1900), a frame wagon shed (c. 1900), and a frame barn with concrete silo (c. 1930). The property also has a stone wall (c. 1790–1820) and the archaeological remains of earlier buildings, including a limestone mill dismantled about 1930.
The Eliab Negley House is a log dwelling that was built between 1810 and 1823. The Joseph Negley farmstead includes a Greek Revival-style dwelling that was built between 1836 and 1850, with later modifications made circa 1900. Also located on the property are a contributing nineteenth century smokehouse, a frame wagon shed (c. 1900), and a large shed.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
