Keim Homestead, German colonial residence in Pike Township, Pennsylvania, US
The limestone building features a three-room layout with a central fireplace, walk-in fireplaces, and extensive original woodwork from the eighteenth century.
Johannes Keim arrived from Germany in 1698 and established the homestead in 1706, while his son Jacob constructed the current stone house in 1753.
The architecture displays German building methods through its stove-room design, native limestone construction, and traditional floor plan centered around the hearth.
The Historic Preservation Trust of Berks County manages the property, allowing visitors to explore the house and grounds by scheduled appointment.
The residence contains an original second-floor Chevron door and retains a separate building that served as a turner's workshop with a vaulted root cellar.
