The Period of Significance is c. 1751 to 1935\, when the earlier Colonial and Federal style farmhouse was renovated to r eflect the popular Colonial Revival style. The architecture of the House demonstrates the distinctive design characteristics of the class of pre -existing farmhouses in the Saucon Valley that were remodeled using Colo nial Revival designs in the early 20th century. \; These changes occ urred during a time in which property owners\, architects\, and builders were influenced by both historic antecedents and the availability of ca talog designs and woodwork.
