Kandt-Domann Farmstead, State Route 3, Hope, Dickinson County, KS

See HABS No. KS-42-A thru KS-42-J for individual structures within complex.
Significance: A Prussian immigrant John Kandt, homesteaded the farm in 1859 and many of the structures date from, as early as 1862. Ernst Domann, a German immigrant purchased the land from August Kandt, son of the original owner in 1906. The complex of buildings on the farm reflects 120 years of changing agricultural practices. Several different types of stone and frame buildings are represented within the farm complex. The Kandt-Domann Farmstead is one of the last remnants of the Lyons Creek Settlement in Dickinson County. The farmstead dates back to 1859 and structures dating at least from 1862 evidences 120 years of agricultural activity at that location. The construction of various types of structures at different times demonstrates changing agricultural practices, circumstances, and tastes. The complex with its original small stone house, stone outbuildings, the later (1890's) large stone house, frame barns and sheds, and the site of what maybe the cabin or dugout where the family first lived, possesses considerable integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
