Farmhouse 52


This is the Upland Farmhouse in Upper Uwchlan Township. After walking through this and working with the historic planner, we found out about the stages this house took to get to this look, and it informs changes that I have seen in other houses. Not that all are the same, but you begin to see how the houses have evolved over the years. This was added to and then the gable turned and the cross gable added with the Victorian details.

Farmhouse 51


Semi-abandoned farmhouse near the "townhouses" of the Byers Station. Indications of shutters that have been lost, slightly gambrel-gable roof form, twin chimneys, another example that the farmhouse comes in many shapes, but follow simple rules. The modified entry with transom is a great way to differentiate this three bay-er.

Farmhouse 50


Renovated with the cross gable and brackets. Dark green and white body of the house. Deep door indicates stone walls.

Farmhouse 49


This farmhouse is stuck right in the middle of the new Byers Station development. What a loss of farming area and privacy to this farm. Again, simple gable roof form with the shed front porch, simple traditional columns, stucco walls and white windows. Another classic.

Farmhouse 48


An amazing little, did I mention little!, farmhouse located in the smack middle of the Byers station development. This is the "Love Shack". I really enjoy this neat 3-bay one and a half story cottage. Stone covered in stucco, classic and small. Shed roof porch, simple details, inset front door with paneled entry.

Farmhouse 47


Off of Fellowship Road, this is a more German style farmhouse with the stone and deep gable. Continuous pent roof and twin chimneys finish out the look.

Farmhouse 46


West Vincent township on display. Heavy handed addition to this 3 bay here. Twin chimneys are great, grey shingles are not. Poor replacement front door, but decent old-ish shutters.
