| Abstract | The John T. Simmons Farmstead is locally significant in terms of mid-to-late nineteenth century agriculture and architecture. The dwelling provides an excellent example of the mid-nineteenth century rebuilding of rural Delaware when agricultural reforms coincided with construction of new dwellings and outbuildings, and also with expansion and improvement of existing buildings. The agricultural outbuildings in the complex, particularly the drive-through crib/granary and dairy barn, contribute to the significance of the property as architectural expressions of the evolution of agriculture in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. | en |
