Humphry Marshall House, State Route 162 (Strasburg Road) (West Bradford Township), Marshallton, Chester County, PA

1999 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Entry
Significance: The significance of the house related to both architecture and agricultural history. The house is a conservative yet idiosyncratic example of the mid- to late- 18th-century Georgian tradition in the Delaware Valley. The double pile house originally related to a variant of the four-room, corner-passage plan, adding important segregated spaces including a plant room and a hired man's room, as adjuncts to the principal rooms.
