Date constructed: 1748 (Baber/owner), 1764 (Assessor)
Description: The H. Beindhammer House occupies a commanding position close to the highway on both its front and east elevations, at the point where Isleib Road changes its direction from north and west. The front elevation is divided into five bays of 8-over-12 windows and central doorway. The batten door on strap hinges under five-light transom is surrounded by a molding with eared architrave. Flanking pilasters carry up through the architrave to support the cornice above. Corner boards define the profile of the house. On the west elevation, there are two 8-over-12 windows at first floor, two at the second, and one in the attic. The property consists of 18 acres.
Significance: The H. Beindhammer house is so identified on the 1869 atlas. It has recently been rehabilitated, now having 8-over-12 windows rather than the 6-over-6 sash reported by Baber (1978 inventory), and a batten door rather than a six panel door. The general level of maintenance is ambitious. If the elaborate doorway with its slender proportions is original, the house is an early example of the Georgian style.
