Isaac Hunsicker House

The Isaac Hunsicker House is located at 4062 Heckler Road, Skippack Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, one mile south of the town of Skippack. In 2007, the Skippack Historical Society saved the Isaac Hunsicker House from demolition. Isaac Hunsicker, Sr. was the third deacon listed for the Lower Skippack Mennonite Church, one of the earliest U.S. Mennonite congregations. Isaac the Elder likely constructed part of the house before conveying the tract to Isaac the Younger in 1809. The main block comprises a two-story brick center section (c. 1834) and a two-story stone north section (c. 1845). The south block comprises a two-story stone south section (c. 1770) and a two-story stone section (c. 1845) that connects the south block to the main block.[7]

Trach-Hunsicker House

The Trach-Hunsicker House is located on the Easton-Belmont Turnpike in Hamilton Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, just south of Hamilton Square. The ​2 1⁄2-story house was built in 1790 in a vernacular Georgian style. Constructed of 18" thick fieldstone walls, it is rectangular with a symmetrical five-bay facade. The gabled roof has slate shingles. Brick chimneys are located at each end of the house. A central front door is set under an arched wooden frame with a fanlight over the door. In the 1800s, tiny brackets were installed over the earlier dentil trim and a ​1 1⁄2-story addition was added to the west side. A front porch was added around 1910.[8]

The Trach-Hunsicker House has historic importance due to its builder, Rudolph Trach (Drach or Drough). As a child, Trach emigrated from Germany to Bedminster, Bucks County, where he learned to be a potter. Upon moving to Monroe County, Trach constructed the house and established a pottery on the property. Some of his work was functional, but some was created in the ornate sgraffito style.[9] One signed and dated sgraffito pie plate produced at the Trach-Hunsicker property is held by the Winterthur Museum, Delaware.[10][11] Trach lived in the house until his death.[8] The surname Hunsicker applies to the owners who renovated the structure and applied for listing.

In 1980, the property was approved for listing on the Pennsylvania Inventory of Historic Places and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission indicated that the "property appears to meet the National Register criteria.".[12] In 1983, a further letter from the Commission's Chief of Preservation Services re-iterated that "the resource appears to meet the National Register criteria and to have a nomination priority as established by the Historic Preservation Board."[13] No record of a National Register nomination is available.

It is an 1824 Federal style residence located at 2834 Hikes Lane, Louisville, KY.[14] Residence of early Louisville pioneers Charles Edward Hunsinger and Paulina Crawford Hikes.

The Unzicker-Cook House is a trimmed fieldstone dwelling. The whole complex is the result of rational site planning. Although the buildings are simple in construction and plan, they provide necessary shelter and take advantage of local building materials and the sloping site. Daniel Unzicker (1798-1863) came from Bavaria, Germany, and emigrated to Milford Township where [he] purchased eighty acres of land. He farmed the land and increased his holdings to one hundred and sixty acres. The house, built around 1831, is built close to the hillside so it is protected from the harsh winter weather. The springhouse used the spring to keep its interior cool and moist. The smokehouse is largely exposed for good ventilation. It shows planning based on necessity and practicality.
