Ohler Farmstead, 1375 Mill Run Road, Mill Run, Fayette County, PA

2005 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Entry
Significance: The Ohler Farmstead, built ca. 1910-1920 by Adam Ohler and Eberharter Shipley is a notable example typifying the subsistence farming and vernacular construction of The Industrial Period as found in the Bear Run Community. The farmstead was acquired by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 1989. The buildings that comprise the Ohler Farmstead exhibit a quiet, noble simplicity in their conception and construction, reflecting the lives of those who lived and toiled within them, while offering significant lessons to those interested in the design and preservation of America's vernacular landscape.
