The Redferd Segers House is a two and a half story frame dwelling built around 1870, on US 219 near Snyder Township, Jefferson County. It combines Stick and Eastlake, Gothic Revival, Italianate and Shingle style elements in a late Victorian design.
Why it's listed
It was listed in the National Register in 2000 under criterion C, with local-level significance in architecture. Its period of significance is given as around 1870, the year the house was built.
Physical character
The L-shaped house rests on a coursed ashlar sandstone foundation, with weatherboard walls now covered in shiplap vinyl siding under an asphalt roof. Its hipped roof has intersecting gables and a gambrel section, trimmed with cornices, sandwich brackets and Stick-style sawtooth trim. Windows include two-over-two and pointed-arched sash above a four-panel, glazed-panel front door, and a porch built around 1870 has a shed roof and turned balusters.
Historical context
Redferd Segers came to Pennsylvania in 1858, married Martha J. Horning in 1860, and moved to Snyder Township in 1863. Martha died in 1871, and Redferd lived in the house from around 1870 to 1913. Later residents included Mabel Segers in 1935 and Frone Renelle Segers in 1945.
