Das etwa im zweiten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts errichtete eingeschossige Wohnhaus ist das älteste erhaltene Wohnhaus im Ortsteil Großziethen.
Die Bauweise stammt ursprünglich aus dem Kirchen- und Klosterbau des 12. und 13. Jahrhunderts. Die Zweischaligkeit mit außenliegendem Feldsteinmauerwerk und innenliegendem Ziegelmauerwerk bietet eine für damalige Verhältnisse gute Wärmeisolierung bei gleichzeitig guter Witterungs- und Feuerbeständigkeit.
Die Innenstruktur des ehemaligen Zweifamilienhauses ist gekennzeichnet durch die zentral liegende Schwarze Küche, die im Rahmen der Sanierungsmaßnahme wieder freigelegt werden konnte.
Genutzt wurde das Gebäude als Tagelöhner- und Armenhaus.

The stone house, probably built in the second third of the 19th century, is, apart from the church, the oldest building and the oldest surviving residential building in Großziethen, and therefore has considerable historical and cultural significance for the village. The last resident was Katharina Glor. The building, which is a listed historic landmark, was purchased by the municipality of Großziethen in 2003 for 30,000 euros, and in 2008 it was extensively renovated by the municipality in accordance with the guidelines of the heritage conservation authorities. The total cost was 300,000 euros.(Submitted on September 7, 2025.)
The Schönefeld civil registry office has established a wedding ceremony room in the former farm worker's house. The first civil marriage ceremony took place there on June 13, 2008. The village council meetings were also held there, and the village mayor held his office hours in this building.
Inside the former two-family house is a so-called "black kitchen" (a central chimney for smoke extraction), which is visible from the outside by the chimney located in the center of the house. Around the kitchen are a common hallway, and on either side, two identical apartments, each consisting of a living room and one or two smaller rooms. "Here, two families and their animals once lived in very cramped quarters," says architect Karsten Standke, who supervised the renovation of the old farm worker's house.
