Description and history

edit
 
Barn

The farmstead was built by German immigrant Andreas Bausman, after his arrival in Pennsylvania in 1755.[2]

The complex includes a brick dwelling with summer kitchen, bank barn, stone still house, and Bausman Mansion. The brick farmhouse is a 1 1/2-story, four bay wide brick dwelling with a 2-story rear ell built in 1836. The summer kitchen is attached to the west of the rear wing and attached by a brick infill section. The brick bank barn was built in 1869. The stone still house is dated to 1775. The Bausman Mansion was built in 1879, and is a 2 1/2-story, brick dwelling in the Late Victorian style.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]

In 2020 property was bought by Russia Insider editor Charles Bausman, whose ancestors owned the farmstead.[4]
