NARVON Located on the
rolling hills of eastern Lancaster
County, the farm home of Jacob
and Judy Stoltzfus, Narvon R 2,
offers a commanding view of the
surrounding countryside. The
interior of the home offers a
peaceful, refreshing kind of
retreat, achieved after two diligent
years of remodeling. The Stoltzfus
home will be open to visitors as
part of the Lancaster County
Ladies Day Out this Thursday.
The home has been m the
Stoltzfus family for about 40 years,
having been bought by Jacob’s
parents, but Judy and Jacob have
lived there just 2M> years. They
operate a 56-acre dairy farm and
have three children: Waft, 6;
Vonda, 4; and Jared, 4% months.
Although they are unsure when
the ongmal stone part of the home
was built, Judy speculates that it
must have been around the mid
1880’s. When they were working on
an upstairs way and broke through
[paster to the original stone wall,
they discovered papers dating
from 1886, an indication they might
have been there when the house
was built
One of the most interesting
features of the house is the win
dows which are encased by
An interesting feature of the Stoltzfus house is the rounded
effect at the windows, part of a treatment commonly used in
homes with thick stone walls.

rounded walls on the intenor. The
walls are nearly 20 inches thick,
allowing deep window wells, with
the original wood being retamed
for the sills in most places. The
rounded windows can be found
both upstairs and down.
New windows replaced the old as
one of the first remodeling steps.
Downstairs the windows are six
panes over six, and upstairs there
are 12-paned windows
As a further conservation
measure, the Stoltzfuses insulated
the attic floor and downstairs
extended the walls below the chair
rail so that insulation could be
added and covered with dry wall.
A fireplace in the ongmal home
has been covered up before Jacob
and Judy moved m, but they took
the initiative of adding a stovepipe
in that place so they can have the
option of adding a stove if they
want.
Judy believes that originally
there was a circular staircase in
the home, but it, too, had been
removed before they moved in.
They moved the stairway from one
side of the house to the other, and
while they left it open they added a
door at the top to conserve energy.
Another major change in the
house was moving the kitchen
from the north side to the south,
and adding sliding glass doors

which will eventually open onto a
patio and lead to the proposed play
area and the garden.
With the change in kitchen
location, the Stoltzfus family can
sit at their table and look out at the
surrounding farms. When Judy is
working at the sink she has a view
of both the barn and the proposed
play area for the children.
The kitchen, of which Judy is
justifiably proud, is well-equipped
for ease of working. There is ample
counter space and a built-in ap
pliance corner The cherry wood
cabinets reflect a mellow feeling.
A feature much used by the
children is a counter, at table level,
which allows them to play or do
homework while being close to
their mother but out of her way as
she moves about the kitchen.
One feature of the kitchen is an
old clock shelf which had been
