Description and history
The farmhouse is a two-story brick building, with an off center entry, sitting on a rubble work stone foundation. It is the oldest extant house built by a member of the Amish Mennonite congregation. Christian Iutzi named the farm Middlehof after his home in Germany. Iutzi came to Butler County in 1832 as part of a group of 100 Hessian [sic] Mennonites. The Hessians broke with the Augspuger Amish congregation in 1835 with Iutzi's son and son-in-law serving as ministers for the Hessian church.[3]
The property was listed in the United States National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1984, as part of the thematic resource the "Augspurger Amish/Mennonite Settlement".[3][4]
