The Good-Hartle Farm is primarily significant for its architecture. The house comprises a log section built after 1765 by Jacob Good, a Swiss Mennonite from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and a stone section built in 1833 by George Hartle, the grandson of a German immigrant also from Lancaster County. The house thus presents a significant example of a rare early structure which was(Submitted on September 3, 2026, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)adapted for 19th century use by the 1833 addition. The 1765 house reflects Germanic building traditions in its insulated puncheon floor, and in an exceptionally well-built principal rafter roof system with unusual well-preserved gable walls of original beaded weatherboards. The springhouse, wagon shed, and barn reflect the continued agricultural function of the farm complex. The period of significance, ca. 1765-1949, spans the period from the construction of the first extant resource on the property (the log portion of the house), to a date fifty years in the past.
