History
editThe land for the property was purchased by Christian Augspurger from John Holly in 1847. The land went from his son, John Augspurger, to Frederick Augspurger in 1849. The house itself was built in 1865–1870, with two stories and a truncated hip roof. The farm was sold out of Mennonite hands by 1899, after the passing of Frederick Augspurger.[2]
