Description: Architectural Classification: Name of Property County and State United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm Historic District Washington County, Ohio County and State Section 7 Page 1 The Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm is located on State Route 60, three miles south of Lowell, Ohio in Washington County (Photo #1). The farm faces the road and just to the west of the road is the Muskingum River. The farm currently consists of twenty-six (26) acres; originally it consisted of eighty-five (85) acres.

The driveway from Route 60 leads to the house and garage; there are a smokehouse and a privy behind the garage and a summer kitchen and outbuilding just behind the main house. To the east, from the main house, is a chicken coop and the log house. The remaining agricultural outbuildings and barns lie to the south of the main house. There is a large open field in front of the house and above all of the outbuildings. There are fence lines surrounding the property with a small area fenced in around the largest barn. The driveway continues past the house and up the hill to the east, ending at the top of the hill which is the property line. The driveway extension connected to Highland Ridge Road at the top of the hill and then connected with the main Marietta to Zanesville Road in the valley. The hillside behind the house rises steadily with the house situated in the river bottom.

The farm's property extends to the river, across Route 60 where it is flat. Route 60 divides the tillable land on the property. The hillside above the outbuildings is cleared and has been used for livestock pasture. There are wooded sections of land adjacent to the pasture land Dates ascribed to the historic resources were based on on-site examinations, family structures. All contributing resources with the exception of the garage were on site when Anda Vaughn purchased the farm in 1912. Main House Ca. 1861 The current farm house, site #1 on the site plan, is the third known residence on the farm for the house is based upon materials and tax duplicate research. It has a standing seam metal roof; the original roof appears to have been wood shakes as evidenced by the remaining cut nails.

The house has its original clapboard siding with narrow frieze and corner boards and the original wood, six over six windows. The foundation is stone; the front rear addition that houses the kitchen. It appears to have been added historically, perhaps ca.

1900, as it has all of the same materials as the original portion of the house. There is also a one-story, modified hip roof, central front porch with a central wall gable with scrolled filligree and vergeboard in the wall gable. The front porch has turned posts with cut-out and scrolled brackets and a cut-out balustrade. The front porch may have been added at the same time as the rear kitchen addition, ca. 1900. The house is five bays wide and 2 bays deep, including the rear addition. The original house consisted of two rooms on the first floor and two rooms on the second floor with a central hallway. The house is an "T"house with later additions added to it. The house is a combination of timber, platform and stud framing. The structure can be seen in the attic space above the rear addition. There are large hewn corner beams with 3" X 3" wood studs on 24" centers.

The plaster lath is circular sawn and the studs are pit or band sawn. The first and second floor finishes are beaver board ceilings, wide tongue and groove flooring and plaster walls. The first floor has narrower tongue and groove covering. The doors are four panel and have simple surrounds. The entrance door is centrally located on the front elevation and it has a divided transom and divided sidelights. As you enter, the stairway to the upper floor is to your left and it has a hardwood polished rail with painted square balusters with the corner balusters slightly battered. The steps on the stair are currently carpeted. From the interior, you can During the 1970s renovations, the fireplaces were boarded up but a mantel survives in the living room on the exterior, west, wall. At this same time, any remaining baseboards were removed and modern trim installed.

There is no evidence of built-in cupboards. A bathroom was inserted into the first floor of the rear addition in 1946; another clearly see the wavy glass in the original wood windows. bathroom was inserted into the second floor in 1972 with a closet filling the remaining porch has a stone pier foundation.

The district is also significant under Criterion C for Architecture for its association as an intact group of agricultural buildings from the settlement period and throughout the evolution of the farm. The farm has been in the same family, passed down through the maternal lines, since 1911.

The period of significance spans from 1800 from the log house construction to 1946 which is when the remaining agricultural secondary buildings were constructed. The ca. 1900 and 1946 construction periods fit within the historic time period of the evolution of the farm as a whole and the later buildings reflect the growth of the farm and its use. The Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm is significant under Criterion A for Agriculture for its association with the growth and development of the local and county farms in the Lowell area and Washington County. The farm is located on what is known as Lot 2 of the Rainbow Allotment of the Donated Lands. The Donated Lands consisted of a 100,000 acre tract in several different counties and townships purchased by the Ohio Company from the United States government. The tract was created as a buffer between the settlers and the Native Americans.

The tract was surveyed into 100 acre lots and allotted by agents of the Ohio Company. The Marietta Land Office of the Ohio Company operated from about 1792 to 1818 giving 100 acre tracts to any white male who would homestead the land. The lands had to be lived on, cultivated and the settlers were expected to carry a early warning system from the Native Americans. FARM HISTORY: Nahum Bent claimed Lot 2 of the Rainbow Allotment, the current Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm and it consisted of 85 acres rather than the typical 100 acre tract. The majority of the Rainbow Allotment was to the west of the Muskingum River; the six tracts to the east of the river all consisted of 85 acres except for one which consisted of 66.75 acres. These tracts were also split on their southern boundary by the river.

Nahum was born November 17, 1778 in Rutland, Massachusetts; he married Susan Dilley on March 16, 1810 and they had four daughters and three sons. Nahum was the son of Colonel Silas gun for protection and as the lands were on the outskirts of settlements, to operate as an (NPS Form 10-900) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm Historic District Washington County, Ohio Name of Property County and State Section 8 Page 8 Bent who fought in the Revolutionary War. Silas was born in England and came to Ohio by 1790 in the map of the Ohio Company lands in Washington County but at that time he would have only been 12 years old so it is assumed that his father, Silas, claimed the land have been awarded to him for his service in the American Revolution.

Nahum was deeded the land March of 1797 by Rufus Putnam and Company of the Ohio Company. Nahum was at one time the postmaster at Bent's Post Office, Belpre, Ohio but in 1835 he and his family emigrated to Andrew County, Missouri where he died on June 29, 1856. The land was deeded to Stephen Smith in 1805 and than went through a succession of owners until the mid 1800s when the Lorentz family purchased the land. Several small parcels of the tract had been sold off for various purposes throughout the years leaving 67.5 acres. The heirs of Mathias Lorentz with John Lorentz as Executor sold the land to Elizabeth Lorentz in 1891. William Lorentz purchased the 67.5 acre plot in 1893 and it stayed in the Lorentz family until its sale to the current family in 1911.

Due to the many spellings of the Lorentz family name (Lawrence, Lorentz, Lorenz) it is difficult to track this specific family name and little is known about them other then the mentioned deed On December 29, 1911 William Lorentz and his wife, Henrietta, sold the now 67.25 acre tract to Anda Vaughn. The present owner, Helen Stacy Evans, is the granddaughter of Anda. Anda (also sometimes listed in public records as Andrew) was the son of Ely and Electa Vaughn. The Vaughn name is Welsh and means "little." Ely was a farmer born in Vermont. In the 1860 Census for Washington County, Anda is listed as "Andrew" and is 8 years old. Anda was born in 1851 in Ohio, presumably in the Washington County vicinity as the early deed records show his father buying lots in the town of Salem. Anda family were part of the German wave of immigrants to settle in Ohio in the mid 1800s.

Baden, Germany and moved to Lowell, Ohio in 1855 to live and work as farmers. Lena's references. parents came to the United States with five boys; more children were to follow with Lena in his name.Silas owned numerous tracts throughout Washington County; some may in 1789, presumably bringing his family with him. Nahum is listed as the owner of Lot 2 New York State and had emigrated to Ohio along with his wife, Electa, who was born in married Lena Augenstein on July 25, 1878 in Washington County.

The Augenstein Lena's parents, Matthew and Christina Augenstein, emigrated to Pittsburgh in 1854 from (NPS Form 10-900) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm Historic District Washington County, Ohio Name of Property County and State Section 8 Page 9 as the first child born in the United States. Lena and Anda had a true education in farming with both of their parents being farmers and they continued the tradition. In the 1920 Census for Washington County, the 68 year old Anda is listed as a "truck farmer" along with his wife, Lena, their son, Arza, and their widowed daughter, 32 year old, Eva Stacy, along with her three children, Vaughn, Helen and Robert. Eva Stacy's husband died in 1919 so she and her children moved in with her parents in Lowell and later moved to Mariettta.

The family returned to the farm in 1946 with Helen married to Richard A. Evans and her mother, Eva, lived with them. Helen and Richard Evans had one son, Stacy, who grew up on the farm; his mother retains ownership of the farm. Anda died on March 7, 1935 and Lena died in 1941; both are buried in the Greenlawn Cemetery in Lowell. The Augenstein family settled further up Cat's Creek north of Lowell rather than on the river bottoms but they were also farmers who shipped their produce via the railroad. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad arrived in Washington County on April 9, 1857 but there was never a railroad on the east side of the river. Early transportation in the area was via the rivers; the Muskingum and the Ohio. From 1830 up through 1880, the Muskingum River was made navigable through a series of dams. This also allowed for the development of mills.

One of the earliest mills was built by a Captain Devol in 1807; by 1841, 10 dams and 11 locks designed by West Point graduate, Major Samuel Curtis, were opened and operational; a Major Putnam erected a mill at Devol's Dam in 1866 which became Union Mills. All of this activity spurred development in the county. In Henry Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio, he are corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, dairy products, fruit and wool." The rivers facilitated shipping products to market in Wheeling and Pittsburgh. Once the railroad arrived, shipping became much easier and quicker. The earliest roadways in Washington County and Ohio often followed the Indian trails; some of today's roads and highways still follow these original trails.

When Ohio first TRANSPORTATION: mentions the"extensive tracts of fertile land."He also states that the"principal products (NPS Form 10-900) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm Historic District Washington County, Ohio Name of Property County and State Section 8 Page 10 became a state in 1803 there were few roads and these were very primitive. By 1820 Columbus was linked with a north-south and east-west road all the way to the state's borders. Roads were still very primitive with the tree stumps intact on the roadway and the surfaces mud and holes. The best and best known of Ohio's roads was the National Road which had crossed the state by 1838. Roads continued to improve through the 1920 saw the greatest improvements made to Ohio's roads.

Concrete paving became more common and the first use of concrete paving in the United States was a street in Bellefontaine, Ohio in 1891. The state road fronting the farm was first established as a gravel road from Marietta to Zanesville in 1927. All of these transportation methods allowed for shipping product and farm produce to the eastern markets and beyond A local transportation line was the InterUrban Line from Marietta through Lowell and up to Beverly. This line started as the Marietta Street Railway Company in 1890 and the cars were pulled by a pair of mules. This was strictly an in-town service. The Marietta Electric Company was organized in 1898 in order to electrify the railway company and to provide surplus electricity to local businesses.

The Parkersburg Marietta and InterUrban Company was formed in 1903 to consolidate the Parkersburg and Marietta street car systems and the interurban line between the two cities. The opening of the Ohio River bridge between Marietta and Williamstown allowed for this consolidation. It ran from 5 A.M. to 11 P.M. and the fare was 35 cents. The interurban line was extended the following year, 1904, up the Muskingum Valley as far as Devols Dam (now Devola) and Ferncliff. The lines were further extended in 1908 to Lowell and Beverly up the river. The Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm granted a right-of-way for the line and this was in front of the existing main house just to the east of State Route 60.

In isolated spots along 60 you May 15, 1912 the interurban introduced an express service to allow local truck farmers of the Muskingum Valley "the opportunity they have so longed desired of marketing their produce in Parkersburg." With a two hour delivery time from the farm to market the consumer was able to get fresh produce at a cheaper price then ever before. can see there is evidence of right-of-ways, stone piers and embankment culverts.

State Route 60 with a gravel surface (originally State Route 37 & 77) was completed from Zanesville to Marietta in 1927 and the interurban lines were not utilized as before. Consequently, the lines were reverted back to the property owners.

AGRICULTURAL CONTEXT: There were many large produce farms in Lowell, Devola and Rainbow and on the other side of the river as evidenced by the express service of the interurban line but none in the chickens and livestock feed. They also grew 10,000 tomato plants. Considering an average yield of 10 pounds per plant, a total of 100,000 pounds; a significant amount by local standards. The tomatoes were shipped to Wheeling via truck and distributed from there. The other area farms grew other produce, for example peppers and cabbage, but the Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm was the only farm growing tomatoes in this quantity in the immediate area. Mrs. Eva Stacy and the Evans also had a large house garden and grew strawberries. They sold their produce, other than tomatoes, at a roadside stand. Mrs.

Eva Vaughn Stacy (Helen Stacy Evan's mother) owned half of the farm during this truck farm When the farm was first carved out of the wilderness, it consisted of 85 acres rather than the typical allotment of 100 acres but as time went on, it became one of the larger farms in the area. Through the 1860's, a typical farm in the immediate area consisted of between 20 and 50 acres while the Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm was 85 acres.

The previous residence, which predates the ca. 1861 residence, is extant on the farm. The log house is the second residence on the farm; it appears that some of the siding in this building came from an earlier log cabin on the farm.

The log house was inspected by a log house specialist during the current owner's occupation and he dated the logs at that time and also determined that some materials had massive cut stone interior chimney. This building reflects its earliest settlement while the residence is a two-story, side gable house that originally consisted of two rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs. The original roof was wood shakes; it is now standing seam metal. A one-story, shed roof, full length, enclosed, rear addition was added to the house ca. 1900. This same time period saw the addition of the front porch with its decorative turned posts with cut-out and scrolled brackets and a cut-out balustrade. The front porch entrance is framed with a wall gable with scrolled filigree and vergeboard.

Many of these decorative elements were easily available via the railroad during this time period and were a common touch to "dress-up" a simple farm house. Buildings on the farm that reflect the same general time period as the main residence are: large barn - ca. 1890. These buildings also run the gamut of functional farm activities level that were clearly re-used from an earlier barn on the site as the notches run in the concept. The barn has a beautiful green slate roof which also points to the availability of excellent condition. building materials from the railroad and to more prosperous times at the farm. There is (NPS Form 10-900) the summer kitchen-ca.1870; the smoke house -ca.1890; the privy-ca.1890; and the ca.1861 residence illustrates a later and perhaps more prosperous period. The ca.

These are the garage and the chicken coop. The chicken coop has a ribbon of windows on the east elevation and these One unusual building on the farm is the Reicker building, ca. 1913. This building was originally a cobbler's shop in Lowell but the 1913 flood moved it downriver in the location of the Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm and Mr. Vaughn purchased it from the property owner and sited it on its present location to be used as a storage/cellar house building. It too is in good shape. While other farms in the area are still extant, the Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm is the only outbuildings associated with a working farm. It is also rare in the area for the retention of its original siding. There are several five bay, frame farmhouses in the area but none as intact as the Vaughn/Stacy/Evans Farm.
