History and architectural features

Built between 1794 and 1798, this structure is a 2+12-story, fieldstone building with a gable roof, and is four bays wide. Its architecture suggests a transition from Georgian to Federal style, with a combination of Dutch-German and English building styles. Its builder, Martin Rupp, also built the Peace Church.[2]

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973,[1] the Johannes Eberly House is also notable for being the site of the Skirmish of Sporting Hill, the northernmost engagement of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia during the American Civil War.
