Henry Weaver Farmstead was a historic home located at East Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The house was a large, 2+1⁄2-story, L-shaped, limestone building with a steeply pitched gable roof. The roof was sheathed in tile laid in a side lap. It was built in at least two stages, with the oldest section dated to about 1761. Also on the property were a contributing stone smokehouse and stone barn built in 1764.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
Structures including the house were scheduled to be demolished in the summer of 1978 to allow expansion of the quarry owned by the Martin Limestone Company.[3] Over objections, the demolition was carried out as scheduled or shortly afterwards.
