====== Sam Delph Farm (BE 87) ====== Sam Delph Farm Located on Garrison Creek Road, the Delph Farm is an outstanding example of a small [[Boone County]] farmstead of the late 1800s. The modest house, built close to the road; the informal, close-knit grouping of the outbuildings; the nearness and small extent of the fields cultivated, and the difficult, rolling site give it strong associations with small-scale farming in hilly western Boone during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Nearly two stories in height, the main house is a hall-parlor dwelling with irregular facade, slope-shouldered brick chimneys and a shed-roofed ell. Nearby are a series of farm buildings with vertical board siding and metal roofs. The house enjoys a pristine rural setting overlooking Garrison Creek, and is reached by a ford across the creek. The house was added to the [[National Register]] in 1989. ===== More Information ===== ===== Related websites ===== * National Register Information (PDFs), [[https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail?assetID=31ee0047-5073-4bbb-953e-760a28cd1d9c|inventory form and photos]] ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Historic Homes]] * [[Farming]] * [[Delph Family]]
