Notes
  • See also HAER PA-14 for additional documentation.
  • Earlier subsequent construction dates refer to barns & other outbuildings. Initial date refers to the actual house.
  • Significance: This late nineteenth-century house featured the machine-tooled ornamentation of the period, yet retained the traditional Pennsylvania German plan, including a dual front entry system and a rear kitchen wing with double-decker porch. The house was built by Franklin H. Gruber, the founder of the Gruber Wagon Works, for the use of his son Jacob and became an integral part of the grouping of buildings associated with the Gruber Wagon Works. Many of the ornamental details on the house were probably made in the shops of the Gruber Wagon Works.
