Hager House, German colonial house in Hagerstown, United States.
The stone residence features 17-inch thick walls, a central chimney for heat distribution, and two spring-fed pools in the basement providing year-round water.
Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Westphalia, constructed this residence in 1740 on 200 acres of land he named Hager's Fancy in the Great Appalachian Valley.
The house displays German colonial architectural elements throughout its four first-floor rooms, including the kitchen, parlor, hall, and trading post area.
The Hager House remains open to visitors as a museum, presenting period artifacts and offering specialized tours focusing on archaeological discoveries and local history.
The basement contains a defensive wall with an embrasure separating the springs, designed to protect inhabitants while housing animals during harsh weather conditions.
