Description |
The inscription in image #2 is a vernacular Germanic version of the names of Johan and Debora DeTurk, as it is carved into the lintel spanning the attic doorway into the granary space, with the presumed construction date of 1767. See other DeTurk Collection records in this archive for descriptions, details, and images of the history, structure and restoration of this multi-purpose structure ("Grossmutter" dwelling, cellar kitchen and root-cellar, and attic storage space ["granary"]), and record DTR09PH139 citing the 2013 Preservation Pennsylvania award conferred on this iconic "ancillary" farmstead building.
