Konig-Speicher Farm, North side of Church Road, south of Tulpehocken Creek, North Heidelberg Township (moved to Willow Street, Lenhartsville, Berks County), Mount Pleasant, Berks County, PA

Significance: In this example of a Pennsylvania German farm, the ensemble of farm buildings (termed die Bauerei) is compactly sited and takes advantage of the rolling contour of the land in an aesthetically pleasing and functionally convenient way. The two-and-a-half-story log house, which could date from the mid-eighteenth century, has a spring running through the basement. The nearby farmhouse might have resembled the log house at one time; it was doubled in size by a frame addition, probably in the mid-nineteenth century. The outdoor bake oven and octagonal smokehouse are rare outbuildings.
