Waring/Crawford Farmhouse, located at 19214 Forest Brook, in the vicinity of Germantown in Montgomery County, is not considered eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Formerly the main residence on a farm, the Waring/Crawford farmhouse now survives as a single dwelling on a small lot and surrounded by a contemporary subdivision. The dwelling was constructed in two phases; the first part is log and was probably built by George Leslie Crawford about 1881. George purchased approximately 214 acres of land on which the house was built in April of that year and began operation of a wheat and dairy farm. When surveyed in 1983, the property was still owned by members of the Crawford family and was still a working,

~heat producing farm. According to a survey conducted by SHA as part of this project, the · :coperty is now part of subdivision.

The dwelling itself is a unique vernacular farmhouse composed of the original log section and a two-story frame addition, characterized by a central stair tower and a double-story projecting bay. The log section and frame addition were unified by a turned porch and the walls clad with a pebbledash stucco finish.

The dwelling has lost its original farm setting and though it is a unique example of local building traditions, it lacks the architectural distinctiveness and quality necessary to qualify it for listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion c. The property is not known to have associations with any persons or events significant to our past and thus does not qualify for Criteria A or B.

Documentation on the property/district is presented in:MHT Inventory Files
