Built originally by John Miller as a 1 ½ story log home with a central fireplace, the house was “modernized” in the 1860's when a second floor was added by Benjamin Shaub resulting in its present appearance. In the late 1980's, or the early 1990's, the house received a coating of stucco, a cinder block chimney was built on its eastern gable (covering an attic window), and the 1860's twin chimney's removed. Hidden beneath the stucco, the original clapboard was still mostly intact, as was the attic window. The windows are all early, if not totally original to the log house. The interior, although drastically changed during the 20th century, retains some of its historical fabric which will provide the template for interior restoration.

The large barn, which dominated the site, has been restored to its 19th century appearance with the removal of the two, seriously damaged 20th century additions. The small outbuilding, which sits between the barn and the house, is a remarkable, late 19th century structure which completes this charming collection of early, historic buildings.

The House is named after the builder and longest 20th century owner/resident, Clyde Weaver, 1921-1963.

* The facade is protected by a deed easement donated to the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County
