| NPS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Jacob Highbarger House National Register of Historic Places __ Continuation Sheet Name0f Property Washington Co., Maryland Section _8_ Page _9_ County and State earlier phases of stone construction. There are fewer examples of stone construction in Washington County dating from after 1830. Thus, the Highbarger House is an important representative of the waning years of stone construction. The log workshop addition is also significant. A rare example of corner post log construction and one that was originally exposed, it illustrates an unusual hybrid form of log and frame construction. It also is illustrative of the type of architecture used in the second quarter of the 19th century for a street-front workshop/warehouse facility for a local artisan. Jacob Highbarger was a house carpenter, and he built the modest stone house as his residence and the log addition to house his workshop, tools and materials. Therefore, the Highbarger property meets Criterion C for its architectural merits illustrating significant construction types and design choices of the local artisan population. |
