Barnett Bobb House, Historical log house in downtown York, Pennsylvania.

The Barnett Bobb House features two stories with exposed log construction and dovetailed corners, demonstrating early 19th-century Pennsylvania German architectural techniques.

Built in 1811, the house was relocated from its original location at Pershing and College Avenues to its current site in 1968 to prevent demolition.

The structure now functions as a museum that illustrates domestic family life of the 1830s through period-appropriate furnishings and interpretive displays.

Visitors can explore the house alongside the General Horatio Gates House and Golden Plough Tavern as part of York County Heritage Trust's historical building collection.

The restoration process utilized a single preserved original window as the template for recreating all other windows in the building to maintain historical accuracy.
