Schifferstadt, Colonial architectural museum in Frederick, United States.
The stone building features two-foot-thick walls, four fireplaces connected by a central chimney, and an efficient narrow staircase to the second floor.
German immigrant Josef Brunner purchased 303 acres in 1736, and his son Elias constructed this stone house in 1758, naming it after their German hometown.
The structure incorporates German colonial elements such as cast iron five-plate stoves for heating and a barrel-vaulted cellar for food preservation.
The museum opens for guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with special programs during Oktoberfest and Museums by Candlelight.
The building contains an original 1758 five-plate stove and a Heritage Garden certified as Bay-Wise, displaying traditional colonial gardening methods.
