Jacob Jr. Ehrenhardt House, Federal-style stone house in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, United States.

The Jacob Jr. Ehrenhardt House features two-and-a-half stories constructed from fieldstone, with a side-hall layout and slate-covered roof at 55 S. Keystone Avenue.

Constructed in 1803 by Jacob Ehrenhardt Jr., a Revolutionary War veteran and Northampton County militia member who worked as a shoemaker, farmer, and tavern operator.

The residence represents early American domestic architecture and the Moravian building traditions that influenced residential construction in colonial Pennsylvania.

The Friends of the 1803 House organization maintains the property as a historic house museum, offering guided tours by appointment throughout the year.

Archaeological excavations conducted by Lehigh University since 2015 have uncovered numerous artifacts that document daily life during the early 19th century.
